You can add Vonage accounts to your asterisk. The only account that Vonage will let you use is there Biz account higher rates.

1) You can connect the vonage lines to an FXO interface. I have a customer who has the linksys router/ATA connected to FXO ports of his nortel meridian PBX switch. You might try that with digium cards, FXO port of SPA-3000 or some multiport FXO gateway. 2) Vonage softphone accounts work for incoming with asterisk. Absolute forwarding, busy forwarding and multiringing to the softphone is treated as free in-network calls.

If someone can check it to find any typo noise that I amplified with successive calculations, or other mistakes, I'd love to be corrected. But even on pure minutes, Vonage looks better than generic in the "sweet spots". At $0.01:minute for each leg of US48 termination with a generic brand provider, $25:mo buys 41h:40m generic, or 20h:50m of 2-party calls generic. 100h generic would cost $120. If Vonage charges $25 for up to 99h:59m, that's already a savings of $94.99 (over 79% off). If Vonage charges $50 penalty at 100h, that's $75 for 100h, still $45 off (37.5% off). If that's the highest penalty threshold, then at the possible maximum (31d*24h*60m = 44,640m or 744h) monthly minutes would cost $892.80 generic, a maximum savings of $817.80 (over 91.5% off) at Vonage. Average monthly 43,830m or 730h:30m is $876.60 generic, so $75 Vonage save $801.60 (over 91% off). $24.99 buys 20h:49m generic, beating Vonage; Vonage is always cheaper than generic above that duration. Cheaper @$0.02:min 2-party calls: 00h:01m-20h:49m generic 20h:50m+ Vonage If minutes cost $0.005:minute per leg generic brand, $25 buys 41h:40m generic, 99h:59m Vonage. 100h generic is $60, Vonage is $75, so Vonage costs $15 more (125% of generic; generic is 20% off). $75 buys 125h generic, but up to 744h Vonage (730h:30m average monthly). $74.99 buys 124h:59m generic, but nothing more at Vonage than the 99h:59m that $25 buys. So at that half-cent minute rate, 41h:39m and less costs less than Vonage's minimum $25 (where $0.005 more buys you 99h59m). And generic is cheaper than Vonage for total average monthly usage from 100h:00m-124h:59m, from $0.01-$15 cheaper (from just over 0.01% to 20% off Vonage). Cheaper @$0.01:min 2-party calls: 00h:01m-41h:39m generic 41h:40m-99h:59m Vonage 100h:00m-124h:59m generic 125h+ Vonage Those values exclude the extra Vonage benefits, including their ATA (not necessarily a benefit locked down) and their 24x7 service, which is better than nothing. A second channel (with a 2nd DID) costs less than the first, so the savings are greater, probably wiping out the window of generic superiority. 3-way calling is cheaper, potentially beating generic by at least 33%. And Vonage offers faxing that works (better than Asterisk's), and I believe their 800# DIDs are cheaper. When adding all the countries Vonage has added to their flat rate calling area (including US50, not just US48), even Vonage's simple minutes charges are better. Which probably means that the generic minutes cost is higher than it needs to be. Probably mostly inefficiencies in the provider/consumer market, higher sales transaction costs (including less actuarized risks) among more reseller layers than necessary. Vonage statistically oversubscribes all those $25:100h transatlantic accounts, subsidizing them with most people calling within their areacode maxxing out at below 30-60h ($18-36 generic @$0.005:min, or $27) each month. Or it's all just a stock scam to enrich Jeffrey Citron with another Bubble-type equity sale on a losing business, which a lot of people are saying. But the competition will still drive generic minutes rates lower, especially outside US48 where $0.01:min is rare, even shocking. -- (C) Matthew Rubenstein
