The important part is to match the voip provider to your type of use. 99% of my calls are inbound so I chose an unlimited inbound plan and pay a little over 1 cent a minute for outbound calls if I use them. Porting takes a few weeks and it'll happen in an instant when it does; I had both set up and when it switched it was seamless. Before you switch try it out.. if your bandwidth isn't up to snuff it'll drive you crazy. I currently have 8 voip providers that I can use for outbound routes, several have DIDS for inbound calling: vitelity.net les.net voicepulse.com junctionnetworks.com voipstreet.com voipjet.com (outbound only) Gizmo5.com (uses sipphone.com) teliax.com Stay away from broadvoice :) -- JD Austin Twin Geckos Technology Services LLC jd@twingeckos.com 480.288.8195x201 http://www.twingeckos.com
