AMEN!!
 
Any consultant that DOESNT take this into consideration should stick to installing Windows and calling themselves an IT "Expert".
 
You can screw up someone's network, mess up a workstation, hose their email, but you break someone's telephone service there will be hell to pay.

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] FW: NuFone Update: DIDs

Exactly why I chose to go with a PRI for business use.  There is something to be said for the stability of a telco, even if it's not SBC (or AT&T now).  In some cases, government interference is good.  How many businesses can survive a loss of their phone number?  I know the ones I deal with cannot.
 
This is something we need to take into consideration as Asterisk users or consultants.  We need to look at the whole picture, not just a short term savings.  Can your business/clients survive without listings in directory assistance or the phone books?  Can they survive if they have to change numbers due to their Voip provider losing a contract?  Some can, most can't.  I looked into using Voip.  Technically, it seemed like a good solution.  I just don't trust it in the long run.  I know that by using a telco, I will have access to my phone numbers.  With Voip providers, who controls the numbers? 
 
I think this is something a lot of people fail to take into consideration.

I would be very wary, as VOIP providers feel no responsibility to the
customer and will not bother to tell us they might not be around next
week. Once bitten...
