[Asterisk-Users] Getting a US Number

[Jay Milk]

And there's voipjet for outgoing calls at 1.3c/minute, simpletelecom.com
for 1.7c/minute, broadvoice as a fairly decent DID provider, and there
are free DIDs from stanaphone and ipkall.  I don't think there's any one
provider mentioned so far without "issues" -- stanaphone and ipkall
aren't entirely stable, simpletelecom sometimes experiences degraded
quality, broadvoice is still upgrading, nufone has lousy attitude to
customers, voicepulse has slow responses to customer service requests.
None are perfect, but for the price -- especially of the free services
-- not much to complain about.
