[Asterisk-Users] Voicepulse connect has doubled their rates

[Sean Kennedy]

Perhaps I misspoke.  A land line would run me ~20 bucks a month.  A VP 
number will run me 11 bucks a month.  I only specify the free incoming 
calls because that's a distguishing characteristic of voip DIDs, many 
places do not give you free incoming.

And anyway, if you are a consumer customer, your incoming calls are not 
free.  So there you go.
