Re: [asterisk-biz] Changes of rules on 08x revenue share numbering inthe UK
The proposed changes to 0870 outpayments are going to really hurt a lot of UK companies who rely on this revenue (e.g. to give cheaper international access to telecoms customers), or as end users have built up customer loyalty and goodwill using 0870 numbers for their intended purpose (should their provider find it can nolonger route 0870 in a viable way). Has there been a counter argument put forward by the industry ? Ofcom are proposing to allow revenue sharing on 087 number (callers are charged up to 10ppm), however they will fall under ICSTIS regulation. Albeit under 'ICSTIS-lite' lesser regulation, and it almost certainly won't be in that 'brand' name (although it will be by the same body).

Re: [asterisk-biz] SIP to 24 FXS
Cheapest almost never the best. I would not trust any business application to "an old ad tran". I want something under warranty with a number to dial for tech support. The Quintum Tenor AX has worked great for me and comes with a two year warranty. It is not much more expensive than buying a T1 card and "an old ad tran". Although I have never had a need for MWI, I am quite sure the Quintum could do it. I love Adtran to death and use one to MUX my DS3 but Quintum is the route I chose for FXS and have not had ANY problems besides the initial learning curve. Java based GUI setup, G729, IVR, CDR, Peering, 2 year warranty, too many features to mention. http://www.euclidcomputers.com/frameset.cgi?finditem+voip+Quintum+501-0145-00+yes+no+New+0 I am sure you can shop around and find it cheaper than *$1,828.00 *Thanks, Steve Totaro Rehan AllahWala wrote: The cheapest way would be to get an old ad tran and a t1 card and covert t1 to adtran to fxs via it Should cost around 800$ or so for all.
