asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Getting a US Number

Hey guys, I just installed Asterisk, which I find somewhat confusing.

 

I still need to configure it, but need to know how I would go about
assigning my server and certain devices (which will be connected via the
internet, no local hardware involved) us telephone numbers.

 

Also, with Asterisk, if I understand correctly, I can dial out to US phones
and US phones can dial in to my system, yes?

 

Thanks guys.

Not by default, but there are a number of useable VoIP providers who will
gladly rent you a number and some minutes to use. Even though
www.voip-info.org is currently not available, bookmark it for later
reference. You will find it usefull. In the meantime, try looking up Nuphone
or VoicePulse and see what they can do for you. (By the way, there are
dozens of providers like the above two, and I am NOT making any statement on
which one is any good)

Best regards,
Florian
