<div dir="ltr">Lane,<br><br>I would suggest working with an established provider like Teliax and becoming a reseller. Concentrate on making your money on installs and support of your customers and choose to work with a reputable ITSP. <br>
<br><a href="https://www.teliax.com/pages/AGENT">https://www.teliax.com/pages/AGENT</a> Take a look at our plan and see if it meets your goals. We work with a number of companies that provide the local support and management of their customers and do quite well. <br>
<br>I hope my biased input helps. <br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Geoff<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 9:53 AM, Lane Sullivan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lane@jtinvest.com">lane@jtinvest.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I love reading all the posts here and have
learned tons in the last few months. I have successfully setup 2 dealerships
with Asterisks and am on my 3<sup>rd</sup>. I wanted to ask this question for
information purposes so I can see everyone's view on the subject.</span></font></p>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I have a buddy with an ISP that provides
me with SIP service through his upstream provider. Problem is he is slow (VERY
SLOW) and so far the support sucks. I ordered a few 800 numbers months ago and
still don't have them, my caller id still does not work since he setup the
account.</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">My question is this: How hard is it to
setup a VOIP provider to the people here in my area since the competition
sucks?!?!? </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">The obvious next question is costs
involved. I understand setting up a system like Vonage etc. is HIGH dollar but
what about a smaller setup?</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Thanks in advance and I look forward to
the reading material,</span></font></p>
