asterisk users - Jul 2003 - "Best" VoIP provider for Asterisk?

Hello!

I would like to get connected with a VoIP provider for home.  At some
point, I'm sure I will be connecting to it via an Asterisk box, but for
now, I will be using whatever hardware they provide.

What recomendations do you in the Asterisk community have for a reliable
VoIP service that will hopefully interoperate with Asterisk?  A company
that is actually willing to work with an Asterisk user would be
outstanding.  They don't have to support the Asterisk box, but not hang up
on me when I say that I'm using it would be wonderful.

The companies I have researched are Vonage, iConnectHere and Packet8.  I'm
sure there are others, though.

If you could reply off-list, I will be happy to type up a summary of the
results and post it on-list later.

Thank you!

Tim Massey

Nufone.net is the best VoIP provider for Asterisk integration. They
offer IAX termination, 2.9 cents outgoing long-distance and incoming
800. We use them at our office for all phone calls.

Thanks,

Marcus

I recommend NuFone.  They are completely Asterisk-based, and obviously
integrate with Asterisk perfectly.

Rates are good, support is excellent, and you'd be indirectly supporting
Asterisk.

I second this.  But note they are now at 2.0 cents for calls to US and
Canada.  They change the same per minute for incoming calls on the 800
numbers.

They are responsive, competent; simply great to work with.

Highly recommended.

Agreed.  Jeremy McNamara of Nufone.net is the top dog in Asterisk VOIP and
long distance.

His systems and network are the most stable I have ever seen.  It is all ran
out of the same facilities as the TOP long distance providers.  All fiber,
all stable, 3x and 4x redundancy.

He has done some amazing things.

We're using http://www.global-gateway.net/

I've compared their pricing with nufone.com, and for what I can see,
they're quite a bit below (.us @ 21c/min). They do not, however, have
.us number termination. Their website sucks but the voip works. we have
an IAX2 trunk over to their .uk site.

Having problems to connect another device using chan_h323.

When G723.1 or G711: log says:

But it works using chan_oh323.

I appreciate any help.

I emailed them at sales@nufone.net, as per one of the pages
on their web site.
