[Asterisk-Users] Question about VoIP Providers

[Wiley Siler]

So far, in my experience, LD as we know it as POTS users is not the same
as LD via VoIP.

Lines over VoIP are marketed as anywhere to anywhere for minute costs
ranging from 1.1 to 2 cents or higher. 
Whether you call next door or all the way to the East coast from the
West coast, the cost is the same minute rate.
That changes when you go country to country but still remains low.

All and all, it seems to still come in way lower than the cost of
supporting a LD carrier on POTS.
The only issue to date I have seen is reliability.  POTS lines are still
way higher in cost and reliability.

Thanks,
Wiley

If I get DID inbound and LD outbound service from a VoIP provider and
route all calls to them, would all calls even calls that would normally
be local, be considered ld and thus charged the per minute fee?
