[asterisk-biz] Canadian toll-free and SIP termination

[John Daragon]

Hi;

I have a project which is likely to need a number of Canadian toll-free 
numbers, together with SIP termination in Canada and the US. Ideally 
we'd like these from the same supplier so that we can redirect an 
incoming toll-free call to the PSTN and then step out of the RTP path 
and have it as short as possible. We'll have a SER or Asterisk box 
somewhere on the Net to do the translation & stuff.

We're looking, we think, for about 150,000 minutes a month in the early 
stages, and probably never exceeding 4 million minutes a month. My guess 
is that we'll need no more than around 150 simultaneous voice channels 
to start with.

So - here are the questions :

Anyone out there wanna do it ?

Any recommendations ?

What should we be paying ?  The Canadian market seems to be very 
different to the UK/European one - You guys pay for *incoming* calls, 
what's that all about :-) ?
