I'm pretty happy with what I have have now from les.net in terms of price and service. To be honest, I can’t remember where I saw the cheaper rates.

Outgoing calls cost 1.5 cents. I’m happy with these rates, but there are cheaper options. We use our cells a lot, so I think this “landline” will cost us around $5 per month." Just curious....you mentioned there are cheaper options...i haven't been able to find much cheaper??? “I pay $3.50 per month plus 1.1 cents per minute for incoming calls.

A DID that provides proxy is preferred but not a requirement! (: Thanks for the awesome instructions! Which DID provider would you recommend for a flat monthly rate for incoming and outgoing?

Rates to other places around the world will vary. I don't know the details because I rarely make international calls. Each service provider will have a list of rates to different places.

Great instructions, thank you. I'm at the end of my rope with VoIP providers for our company. How goes the Asterisk setup? I'm contemplating such a project although it seems daunting. Any chance you have a "setup for dummies" posting coming out? Sparrow.

As long as the Net connection between you and your DID provider is good, it should work fine. Your DID provider will charge either a flat monthly rate and/or a per minute charge for incoming calls. Your outbound termination provider (might be same company as your DID provider but not necessarily) will charge a per minute charge for outgoing calls. Again my bill is clocking in around $5 - $7 per month. Hi Crystal,

What other experiments are you working on? I think I'm going to setup Asterisk to do basic IVR for home use next. Maybe I'll tie in Adhearsion or something. Glad it was helpful Pct.
