[asterisk-biz] 800 Provider recommendation

[Andrew Joakimsen]

So you want another company to manage the TDM -> SIP conversion but you
still want to be in charge of the trunks.

I think probably your best bet is to find a managed co-location provider --
you obtain the TDM trunks and they will manage the servers and SIP or
whatnot. I am sure such a thing exsists but  you will have to search for
someone that is very knowledgeable and pick them with care.

Besides that, I can recommend ISPhone -- www.isphone.net -- we have been
using them for a while and never had a problem, always friendly to deal with
and I can't really recall having an open service issue beyond 24hrs.
