similar to: OT: List of VoIP providers?

Hello! I would like to get connected with a VoIP provider for home. At some point, I'm sure I will be connecting to it via an Asterisk box, but for now, I will be using whatever hardware they provide. What recomendations do you in the Asterisk community have for a reliable VoIP service that will hopefully interoperate with Asterisk? A company that is actually willing to work with an

Here's t link: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=JUEFVG ENEA01YQSNDBCCKH0CJUMEKJVN?articleID=165702588 The bottom line is that they compare retail VOIP providers like Comcast Cable, Time-Warner Cable, AT&T, Vonage, Packet8 et al. Their methodology seems sound. Their conclusion is that retail VOIP services don't yet match the PSTN for reliability &

Greetings. I did some digging with Google, the wiki, and on the archives, but didn't find a recent conclusive answer. If this is answered in the wiki or archives somewhere, please point me to it. I'm in the process of setting up an Asterisk box for home use. I've got a X100P card on the way. I've not decided what analog adapter(s) to get yet. The only phone service to hook up

The Vonage service is offered with a SIP Cisco ATA device for connection to an analog phone. Is it possible to connect the Vonage service directly to the Asterisk PBX bypassing the ATA and FXO card? Are there other services that offer this capability or something similar to IP dialtone? Thanks Kevin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Okay, first a little background - I've been with Packet8 since a month after they started. I found that we were outgrowing their services and decided to move to an asterisk box in the office. I found a service provider that offered me a reasonable rate. After a fair ammount of testing I decided to stick with their services and port my 3 primary DID's from Packet8 to the new service.

Hi all, While pondering my choices for local dial tone service via a bunch of POTS lines or a T1, I began to wonder if perhaps there is another way. Are there VoIP dialtone providers? That is, could I use only my internet connection for voice calls and not have a separate T1/POTS bank for that? I guess I am imagining a company that gateways between the PTSN and the internet backbone.

May be slightly off topic, but I was wondering what everyone thinks of this latest ruling against Vonage? Does anyone really know what Verizon hold patents for, and could those patents possible affect anything in Asterisk? Who knows who Verizon will go after next.

Noob here, my apologies in advance. Recently my employer decide to stop paying for my home POTS line, so I ordered packet8 for a home line instead of another POTS line, since I really dislike my local phone company, and the POTS line without any long distance would cost more than the $20 to packet8 with unlimited US calling. Anyway, this whole thing got me started thinking about VOIP a lot

Come to think of it since the DTA310 uses DNS to find the SIP server, you could setup a DNS cache and override the DNS entry for what packet8 uses (proxy2-eqix-sjo.packet8.net : 15062, over here) to point to the IP of your own SIP server? Kind of a hack but it should work as long as it's running on port 15062. I am very new to this so I don't know if there's a port standard for SIP

Apologies if this is an FAQ, I wasn't able to find an answer googling: Will any of the public PSTN/VoIP gateway services (Vonage, Packet8 etc) interoperate with * ? I'd like to deploy a box which provides PBX service for analog handsets, and handles inbound/outbound calls via both analog PSTN lines, and, say Packet8 VoIP service. I understand that I can do this by connecting the analog

So what are people using these days for SIP or IAX to PSTN gateways. 1. Do any of the standard companies (Packet8, Broadvox, Vonage, etc.) allow you to use your own SIP device (phone or something like *) instead of the interface hardware they usually provide? 2. What about latency and reliability? 3. Finally, do any of the providers deliver more than one call via SIP? In otherwords, if

Just for the record and to possibly help with others who get BudgeTone phones. My asterisk box is behind NAT, and I use Vonage, NuFone, and iconnecthere for my "POTS backhaul." On the front end I have an ATA186, a Digium TDM20, and now a BudgeTone 102. The BudgeTone definitely has issues wrt the RTP stream and NATting, although unfortunately I haven't yet been able to dig

Mike, No they have not. Calls are failing again today. They have offered to refund my money but that does not solve the problem. My asterisk server is only 4 to 12 ms away from their "network". I have had VERY good luck with nufone.(40 to 45ms away) Only have 1 or 2% fail rate. Going to be calling txlink.net on Monday. Seems that LiveVoIP does not care about asterisk users. They like

I am setting up a new asterisk based call center. I just read: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-IAX+versus+SIP After reading this and other google results for "IAX vs SIP" is there any reason why i should use SIP anywhere !! t

Hello This Question maybe ask many times. I'm From the Netherlands and looking for an sip/aix > pstn provider in the US.I asked wipphone, vonage but they don't work for europe. I've visit many not finished website's about sip > pstn Can somebody recomed me any good sip/aix provider in the us. Thanks

I remember reading some people were talking about being able to use packet 8 without the ATA (I currently connect via an X100P card). Did this ever get anywhere? The wiki doesn't have any information on this - lots of referrals but that's it. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Has anyone tried using BroadVoice for VSP? I have Asterisk configured for a home office & I've been trying to decide which VoIP provider to go with for a little while now. I had heard you could get sub $.01 calls but I have not found that to be true yet (not saying it's not possible, I just haven't found it!). Also I'm not sure if BV will support multiple lines. Any

Folks, I've ordered a new account from Nufone last month. Transferred money to Nufone through their paypal account. I had communication with Nufone sales up until two weeks back. Since then there were no replies to my emails. I am afraid with this kind of unresponsiveness how one would run a reliable service with this company. Have no bad feeling with Jeremy as the author of widely used h323

I've yet to successfully register and receive calls from my Vonage softphone. I've tried what few examples are given in former post this list and some other forums, but nobody seems to be stepping forward saying it works recently. Either they broke something to where you simply cannot use *, or the config examples need updated. If anyone can show a still working config,

I have just setup music on hold by downloading and installing mpg123 r Now I have music on hold but it sounds terrible - clipping, buzzing, digital distortion, and its too loud (which probably isn't helping) and I'm just running it thru the 'default' line in music onhold.conf line default => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3, with the default mp3s. This is a standard 1.0.3
