Subject: Re: configuring asterisk:cheap phone?
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:54:30 -0500	[thread overview]

I would try for a cheap local number in your grandma's area from someone 
like Vitelity. Is there anyone else around in the states that will just give 
you a number like this without dealing with extra hardware without dealing 
with printing and filling out paper forms? The main technical issue I see 
with this is finding a cheap virtual server provider out there that supports 
the Zaptel stuff and/or has images like PBX In A Flash or Trixbox to just 
get it going quickly. It's probably better for education to learn it the 
manual way, but for something like this, I'd want access to a solution like 
you described hooked up to an unlimited outgoing for the US plan.
