[asterisk-users] PRI and Local numbers

[mail-lists]

Hello,

We're running into a problem I thought some of the enlightened people on 
this list might be able to help with. Our VoIP stuff has grown to the 
point where it makes sense to get  a PRI (we've been doing things purely 
voip till now).

The problem we're running into is this:

We have several offices scattered across the SE states. We would like to 
be able to get local numbers for each of these offices that ring into 
the PRI we're about to get installed. I've spoken with several carriers 
and this is something that most of them do one way or another but it 
costs an arm and a leg - 5.00 per number plus 2.5 cents a minute.

Does anyone know of a product offering that encompasses this? Can anyone 
recommend a way to get this accomplished cheaply and cleanly? What do 
VoIP providers do to get phone numbers in every rate center across the US?

Thanks for any advice,

Steve.
