This is exactly what we are in the process of doing. We have asked our provider to port our main phone number to their ipbx. I have used the same people for IAX origination/termination so I presume that if we don't like the ipbx we can go back to asterisk here or hosted and they will be handling those calls. It can't be said enough how important it is for a business to control the destiny of its phone numbers. I feel these should be possible to handle like domain names where you can buy one for life by renewing it. Not quite the case today, but we get the same effect by paying a fee each time we need to port the number. r _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
