[asterisk-users] DID's in a specific rate center

[M Hulber]

Ok, then you can contact one of the myriad of providers to see if you 
can get a block of numbers.  Keep in mind, there will be differences in 
quality and reliability depending on which provider you use and on 
whether or not you use PRI or pure VoIP.  Since you already have the 
outbound capacity you probably have experience with providers in your 
area and how you want to implement it.  You might be able to ask for a 
fairly contiguous block if you desire it.
