Yes

Yes, I currently use Nufone.net for this now.

Dont know exactly what you mean here but you shouldn't have to purchase
anything extra to use asterisk with say Nufone or even voicepulse and many
other providers.

www.nufone.net
connect.voicepulse.net

Good luck on the unlimited part because I don't think that really exists
in the telephone world. (read the find print of all those so called
unlimited plans... they use a totally diffrent defination than websters
does)

Depends on how much you pay right now for local and longdistance calls.


Good luck
