[asterisk-biz] Hosted PBX Provider with local London number

[David Knell]

I wasn't convinced when someone approached me years ago with an idea
involving selling ringtones on PRS, and Decca weren't convinced by the
Beatles.

The plan you've described generally leads to discovery of what the
asterisk in Unlimited* means and/or a detailed read of the provider's
terms, FUP or AUP.

Quite interesting, I hear what you are saying. But I am still not convinced.
So technically speaking, if you find a provider that sells an
unlimited plan to your DID and you make sure to make 24*7 duration
phone calls and said plan price per month is less than
24*7*60*recipcomps you will end up making money. I would be very
surprised if those providing unlimited plans cost more than
24*7*60*recipcomps
