asterisk users - May 2003 - Semi-ot: voip provider with 800-service?

Semi-offtopic,

Anyone know of voip providers who can provide tollfree number service? 
E.g. route 800-xxx numbers to our * ?

Even better if they are familiar with * or can speak IAX ...

Dan,

we use the nufone network for long distance and eight hundred numbers.  Im
on a cable modem and it works great.

I just got hooked up (yesterday) from JerJer (#Asterisk) with an 800
# from www.nufone.net. He terminates IAX/IAX2 and I've been very
impressed with the quality so far - most of the time you can't tell i'm
using voip (low lag). :)

I believe iconnecthere provides 800 numbers. I saw it on their site the 
other day.

They have 1-800 dialups for their phonecards but they do not appear to 
provide any 1-800 routing services.

We can do this, routing via IAX or IAX2.  However, we require that you
license and use the G.729 codec.  For specifics, please call Todd
Lesser on +1 619 364 4750.

Actually, he would prefer email: todd@nccom.com

Just curious, why do you not allow GSM?

Oh, for IAX customers I guess we could use GSM.  We usually serve
people with ATA-186 boxes, and for these we use G.729.

They don't (yet?) offer VOIP, but kall8.com offers toll free numbers
for as little as USD 1 per month, plus usage and taxes, routable to
any US PSTN number you want.  You can set up call plans via their web
site, have their voice-mail system email your messages, etc.  They
can bill monthly to a credit card or you can prepay via check.

Combine that with a PSTN to VOIP gateway and you are set.
