I use voip.ms for a couple of residential connections …. They work well given the price of their service etc.
I would not entrust their service for important business “phone lines” however …. Just my opinion. I would much rather have my business connections served by a company that has invested into a proper softswitch platform with high levels of redundancy (such as Metaswitch for example).

We use VoIP Innovations but they have a $200/mo minimum. It looks like voip.ms has no monthly minimum, there is a $25 deposit which you replenish when you use it up. Assuming you have existing numbers you want to port, you also need backoffice support for the LNP process, and you need a relationship with a CLEC that can provide origination (incoming calls) for the NPA/NXX of that DID. A VoIP wholesaler like VI or voip.ms has a bunch of CLECs they use for various DIDs.

I'm not really all that familiar with VoIP solutions or configuration, but if like to be. I want to start playing around with something to really familiarize myself with it. The problem is that all I've seen is solutions where I'd have to pay for my SIP trunk or for some kind of service. Is it possible to get a fully functional VoIP solution using basic hardware for nothing? I can host my own SIP trunk I'm sure, but how do I get my phones to route to other phones and my number coming in to route to my phone system? Am I in a dream world, or is this actually possible?
