[asterisk-users] Germany VOIP provider

[Thameem Ansari]

Hi
Thanks for long and informative email. But that 01801 number seems to be
premium chargeable but you are saying its same as local number. I don' t
understand why do they give this 01801 if it is similar to local number? I
am also exploring the options to get some landlines for flat rate.
