Hmm. Both Voicepulse and Nufone don't seem to be able to dial out 800 numbers. Are 800 numbers treated differently somehow? Or is there a "business reason" for disallowing them? It makes the ringing sound but never connects.

Are 800 numbers treated differently somehow?No difficulty on this end to dial 800 numbers via Voicepulse... I just don't do so normally - as others stated, I either use IAXTEL or FWD for that... On a different note - is something up with the freenum.org enum lookups? I've had them fail on me lately - or did I miss the boat on some announcement? More accurately, I've had them fail on all US numbers... Kris

Get with the times. You don't spend money on offices when you don't need them. Nor on datacenters. I started, what I can only assume you would consider to be not a real company, in my basement, about 8 years ago. It was sold for 7 figures 4 years ago. I'm in the process of doing the same, this time from my attic. I'm tired of the NuFone bashing. If you don't like a company, don't use their services. If you want to bitch and complain about service providers, find another list (and come up with a better argument). This one is about Asterisk. Not the services you can use Asterisk with. Daryl G.
