[Asterisk-Users] Vonage, broadvoice et al {Scanned}

With unlimited calling plans you need to read the terms of service. 
Sharing the account within a household or business usually fits in with 
that. Reselling services in any way is usually prohibited.

Some providers with unlimited plans will allow you to set the outbound 
caller ID to any number on the account. In cases where they only put 
unlimited plans on an ATA, you can still connect that to * with an fxo 
card. Most of the providers have various hunt and multi=ring options 
that you can configure via their web interface.

One thing I have run into with 2 providers is their current inability to 
have multiple SIP/IAX logins within the same account. If I might want to 
someday have the California DID's land on a server at the California 
office, I have to create a new account when I order them. Otherwise, all 
DID's go to the last server that registered with the provider. It's a 
nuisance because I have to do the entire new account creation process 
with the provider for each DID and then wind up with different web 
interface logins for each.
