I'm a beginner here and am interested in Teliax. I own a small business and was wondering if you guys could help me out here. I'm basically looking for 6-8 telephone lines, but I notice that Teliax supports 4 simultaneous calls on their Corporate plan. So could I get two Corporate plans and set Asterisk to use both of them and then have, in essence, 8 people talking at the same time? If someone tries to call, would the phone ring busy or would it still go through? I plan on having a T1.....

Andrew, Personally, I think i would look at Teliax's "Pay as You go" plan. Unlimited simultaneous calls, pay for what you use.

As others have mentioned, the bundled plans (eg, residential or corporate) have a soft cap that essentially translates into $0.018 / minute, assuming you use every single minute within the plan. If you don't use every minute, the average cost/min goes up (1,000 minutes of corp plan use = $0.045 / min). So, you are probably better off with their "Pay as you go" plan which ensures your cost is always $0.02 / min with an unlimited number of simultanous calls. If you combine the above with some thought as to what you are going to do when calls can't be completed via teliax (for whatever reason), then you are likely to conclude that having two providers at some flat cost per minute is a positive move. If you add to that thought process some probability that you can't complete _any_ Internet-based calls (due to T1 failure or whatever), then you're likely to approach a combination of itsp's and pstn lines for your business.
