[Asterisk-Users] Vonage and Asterisk integration

[Ken Wiesner]

Personally I don't understand why this is a problem for them.  A minute is a minute.  They could do the same thing VoicePulse does with their VoicePulse Connect service and provide a low cost per minute service and make profit on volume.  I do this all day long with fax messaging.  Part of the problem with Vonage is they don't let you port the numbers they assign so you're pretty much locked into them unless you're willing to change your number.  As for their tech support, I've found them to be very unhelpful and not very well trained.

I have a Vonage line and their tech support is ok.  I think the problem
is, they have a very strict policy on what they will and won't allow, and
this policy is designed to prevent exactly what many people (myself
included) would love to be able to do:  Use a single Vonage line to make
outbound LD calls for many people.  If Vonage gives you access to the
login credentials, there's no way to prevent someone from originating
calls from an * server and racking up lots more minutes than is normal for
a single user.  They are protecting themselves, and I don't blame them.
