I'm not sure on their prices though. For being able to dial out from the number, check out the Disa (direct inward system access) application that comes with asterisk. This allows you to enter an auth code and get a PBX dialtone that you can dial out on.

I was thinking of going with a quick prepaid phone, but I'm not quite sure.
