VoiP provider recommendations

[JD Austin]

The two providers I use that have been stable and work nicely with 
asterisk are Teliax and Voipjet (no did's).
I also use Junction Networks but haven't use them heavily enough to 
recommend them.

Get an 800 number.

Supposedly you can plug the phone output from asterisk into an X100P or 
tdm card.  If you want to be able to receive/send more than one phone 
call you'd have to sign up for their softphone option which costs 
extra.  For my money I'd pick someone else since they don't support 
asterisk directly.

I've had poor experience with:

    LiveVoip (bankrupt)
    VirtualPhoneline 
    Sixtel/IAX.cc
    Broadvoice
