Like Teliax or Nufone. You generally pay per minute for these calls. If you have more then one location, however you can use Asterisk to connect the two locations over the internet for no additional cost (over the Internet service).

This allows you to connect PSTN lines to your PBX. 2) use a FXO to sip converter like Sipura SPA3000. Then, asterisk can connect to the spa via sip protocol (tcp/ip) and receive and make regular phone calls. 3) use a sip (or iax) PSTN provider. It will allow you to place calls and obviously will bill you for it. It is the same case as 2 but you don't own the PSTN access. Some providers can assign you a PSTN number to receive incomming calls, other don't have this service. The atvantage of this is the low prices of international calls. NOTE: To use regular phones with your asterisk pbx, use FXS cards, FXS to sip adapters (like SPA2100) or sip phones. -- Alejandro Vargas
