[Asterisk-Users] FW: NuFone Update: DIDs

[Kerry Garrison]

AMEN!!
 
Any consultant that DOESNT take this into consideration should stick to
installing Windows and calling themselves an IT "Expert".
 
You can screw up someone's network, mess up a workstation, hose their email,
but you break someone's telephone service there will be hell to pay.

Exactly why I chose to go with a PRI for business use.  There is something
to be said for the stability of a telco, even if it's not SBC (or AT&T now).
In some cases, government interference is good.  How many businesses can
survive a loss of their phone number?  I know the ones I deal with cannot. 
 
This is something we need to take into consideration as Asterisk users or
consultants.  We need to look at the whole picture, not just a short term
savings.  Can your business/clients survive without listings in directory
assistance or the phone books?  Can they survive if they have to change
numbers due to their Voip provider losing a contract?  Some can, most can't.
I looked into using Voip.  Technically, it seemed like a good solution.  I
just don't trust it in the long run.  I know that by using a telco, I will
have access to my phone numbers.  With Voip providers, who controls the
numbers?  
 
I think this is something a lot of people fail to take into consideration.

I would be very wary, as VOIP providers feel no responsibility to the
customer and will not bother to tell us they might not be around next 
week. Once bitten...
