asterisk users - Jul 2008 - Sharing unused minutes between Asterisk users

Hi All,

 

I was under the impression that I found a WEB site about two years or so
ago that allowed Asterisk users to place free calls between each other
that used up users un-used minutes/calls.  I though the site was IAXtel
but that does not seem to be the case.

 

As an example I have a plan with a VSP.  They allow a certain number of
calls every month but I only use 20% of the allocation.  I was wanting
to let other people around the world to utilise the additional calls I
have.  Is there such a WEB site that allows us to connect our Asterisk
servers together to utilise the otherwise unused calls?

I would assume this would be against the Terms&Conditions/AUP of a VOIP 
provider..
But, FWD out had something in these lines, where you would 'offer' your 
line for outbound, it was supposed to be related to the PSTN line from 
what I remember.

That was Free World Dialup's service called "Bellster" which then 
changed names to fwdOUT.  Yes, it was against the EULA of various 
VOIP providers.

You can still find the "ghost ship" pages here: 
http://www.fwdout.com/web/  - can someone find out if this still 
works or not?  It was an interesting idea, but full of peril - do you 
want your phone conversations going through someone else's Asterisk 
system?  Danger, danger!

I think you're referring to FWDOUT.
