Houston - XO is unlimited local calling on the PRI that I have with 7
voice channels and the rest data.  Had I opted for a full PRI plus a
full T1 for data, I would have gotten unlimited local plus 10,000 long
distance.  The PRI that I got includes either 3,000 or 5,000 minutes
long distance, which is more than enough for us.

Once you get into their other services (VoIP), which last time I asked
still doesn't interface directly with Asterisk using SIP (you have to
connect from their box to Asterisk using a PRI), you can get unlimited
local and long distance.  I don't have many details on any of this.
My rep doesn't seem to know a lot about it yet.  We depend heavily on
fax, so their Voip solution isn't for us until T38 becomes more
widespread available.
