Subject: [Asterisk-biz] DID service
Hi, i'm looking for some recommendations on did service. These
lines will be going into an Asterisk box.
We are a small
company (7-10 employees) and my thought is that we get about 20 did
numbers, and utilize a service that would provide 5 or more simultaneous
channels (simultaneous calls). Each person could have a direct
number, but i shouldn't have to have an equivalent # of
channels, right? I can use asterisk to determine who's direct
number was dialed and map it to that persons extension. (utilizing
ANI??).
I received a good
response from jason at ipcomms.net, but just curious why i can't find any
others that provide this type of service.
Seems to be good
recommendations for Voicepulse Connect, but that's per line, with a max of 4
simultaneous calls per line, so i'd either have to buy a line per did, or
limit incoming calls to my company to 4 using one did. In addition, when
we expand, chances are i couldn't get a few more numbers in series of what i
would already have gotten from them.
Teliax is another
big-time recommended service on this list, but at my calculations, $0.02
per minute adds up quick in an office environment. I'm all for paying
per minute outgoing, but seems like alot of incoming (including POTS)
don't usually track per minute.
Sorry for any bad
questions and such, i'm still a little new to this. Any recommendations
and/or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-jim
