similar to: VoIP service through Asterisk?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Greetings, I've just about got Asterisk up and running and am wondering the following. Currently, I subscribe to both Vonage and Broadvoice and as such, I've got a Sipura and Cisco ATA186. Although I'm sure this is expressly prohibited somewhere in my service agreements, can I reprogram these devices to access my own asterisk server rather than

There was a flurry of "Vonage is going to unlock SIP" activity last year; did anything productive ever come of it? Are *you* using your Vonage lines directly into Asterisk? In lieu of that, for a 4 line small business that doesn't need to pay Vonage $150 a month, who? Broadvoice? Someone else? I'm a touch unimpressed with the fact that BV's website *won't quote you

I have been looking around for VoIP providers but have not found a good listing. Is there no "yellow pages" for VoIP providers? Google mostly returns services like Vonage, Packet8, NuFone, ect. None seam to be very reseller friendly and none offer LNP or local DID's for my area. Anyone know of a list (even a partial one) Jeromie Reeves

I think I am missing the whole purposes of *. i see that it can do mainy things, but in laymans temrs I am not sure what it does. I am very proficient in Linux and would like to use * for the following: 1) I would like to get rid of my landline(verizon) and use voip as my main means to communicate on the telephone. I would like to be able to plug in my plain old phone into my linux box and

Hi All, I have been reading through the list quite a bit, and I am going to post this more as a poll than anything else. I am working on setting up a very small business with something that resembles a professional voice system. My idea is to use Asterisk with a SIP provider and SIP clients. I currently have a Vonage account already. So adding the 9.99 a month Soft Phone would be easy.

After over a month (well, ok, no more than an hour a day :) of planning, getting hardware, tinkering and testing, I'm about to my Ultimate Home Phone System (tm) online. Connectivity to the outside world is provided by: A. 1 POTS phone line connected through an X100P ($11/month, needed to carry DSL) B. 1 Vonage ATA186 connected through an X100P (needed for the rate center :( ) C. 3 Broadvoice

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 &

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

I had my asterisk configuration working very well with broadvoice, but it stopped working this afternoon. I plugged the Cisco 7960 phone I used for my origional signup (just a few days before they offered generic BYOD) and it works fine. I did notice it seems to do all of its comunication through proxy.broadvoice.com (I used tcpdump). I have never contacted broadvoice about using asterisk

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:

Stealth Communications Announces Registry to Avoid Access Fees Posted on: 04/23/2004 Stealth Communications Inc. today announced the official launch of a registry that allows service providers routing calls over the Internet to avoid paying local phone companies access charges. The VPF ENUM Registry allows carriers to map telephone numbers to IP addresses for such things as SIP phones and

After months of BroadVoice ignoring my trouble tickets for dropped calls, delayed termination, etc., I'm throwing in the towel. While they have credited $19.95 to my account, they refuse to credit anything more, despite ALL of the problems I've had. I feel the least they could do is credit the remaining $8.61 to my account, yet they won't. I haven't really been following up on

I received a message from Packet8 last night telling me they added some new area codes. I took a look at their new area code/rate center finder page and it looks like the added a LOT of new area codes. They now have phone numbers available in almost every state. The URL for finding out which area codes and rate centers are available with Packet8 is at http://www.packet8.net/about/areacodes.asp

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

I'm using Asterisk 1.0.4 with AMP and Broad Voice. I have that with only 5 XTen Lite phones. I'm able to call / etc with internal phones just fine. I can call outside Vonage Numbers, and other BroadVoice Numbers. I have vonage where I live (626) and can call that fine. However, other 626 numbers I get similar errors as below. However, everytime, I try to call cell phones, and or

I apoligize in advance for this newbie question on what I perceive as a mostly advanced level list... I did some searching, but would like some of your expert opinions. I'm building an asterisk server to be used in the home, both to learn, and as proof of concept of applying this solution in a home. To keep costs down, I'm considering one X100P ($25 ebay clone) card to connect the

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

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.

Is anyone else having problems with them? Until today everything was working fine. But now dtmf is not working on incoming calls. Any ideas? I tried calling them and their voicemail is not accepting answers. Is there another source for DIDs in the 314 or 636 area codes? Especially a company that supports something besides ulaw. I am going to hate switching numbers again, my wife is
