Since all voip providers can become over subscribed I would not rely on 
their DID's (Dial in #) for my business.
It's an extra $50/month for a regular phone line, but I have the piece 
of mind that I can switch between and use multiple providers without 
having to change my phone number.

I use VOIP to give me unlimited (well.. unlimited except by my 
bandwidth) incoming lines.  First call gets handled by asterisk via 
PSTN, the next call and every call after that forwards to a voip 
number.  For the equivalent of a 5 line phone system I pay $50 (qwest 
line) + $5 (voip number) + .02/minute.  Not sure how much the same would 
cost but I know it is more.   For another $5 I get a toll free number too.
    

Cool!  Where does the 5 line limit come from--the PSTN side or the VOIP
side?
  
For me the limitation is my bandwidth (DSL).
I eventually want to put an asterisk server in a data center.
