Hello,

this depends on your operator and the telcom regulation in
your country.

In Germany, the main difference (besides the number of channels)
is the numbering plan. With a BRI line, you'll get up to 10
single numbers, maybe consecutive, but without a mean to
add or manage extensions.

With at least two BRIs or with a PRI, in Germany you generally get
a range of numbers, and you may manage the extensions on your own.

E.g.:
If you get the range -00 .. -29:
Typically small business use than as numbering plan:
-0
-10 .. -29

Maybe in your country the situation is similar.


Roger.
