[Asterisk-Users] origination providers

[Michael D Schelin]

Hello All, After a wonderful conversation with Mr. O'Shield he asked me 
to inform the Asterisk community that we run an SS7 network with Los 
Angeles Area trunks and DID's that we can supply with *_F__ixed costs 
and NO per minute charges_* on our inbound trunks.   Calls include 
caller ID.  Also we can supply Co-Location, Power, and a fixed amount of 
non shared Internet bandwidth.  This can be used for Calling card 
providers or call centers. We are tied onto the Verizon Backbone. Please 
call Michael Schelin at ShellTel 626-814-2354 for more information.
