Subject: Re: VoiP provider recommendations
Check out starneteworks.us. They are a local viop provider that
supports IAX. They are mainly business focused as far as I know. I
have a connection with them and the quality has been great. All of my
business calls come in over this connection. They are built on
Asterisk as well.

I have VoicePulse Connect number as well. It has been great for the
price. Where else can you get 4 incoming calls over IAX for 12
dollars a month. All outgoing calls are charges per minute. I had
some quality problems with them at first, but that seems to have
cleared up. VoicePulse does have issue with support. I don't think
that I have ever gotten a live person when I have called them. They
have had a few short periods of down time over the past 6 months that
I have been using it. As was mentioned before they don't have Arizona
numbers.
