[Freeswitch-users] [OT] How do I port my home phone number to a SIP address?

[jungleboogie0]

Hi Jun,

Without a doubt, I'd recommend flowroute since you're setting up your own
voip server at your location.
Check out the blogs of flowroute: http://blog.flowroute.com/

Reasons I like flowroute:
0. There's some kind of [in]direct support to freeswitch. I don't know the
exact politics of the support, though.
1. You can easily setup failover to a DID, SIP URI, or a host address. You
may think this is standard for all VOIP providers, but places like vitality
charge more per-min to do failover.
2. Support is super responsive and very knowledgeable
3. Flowroute has blogs that are updated regularly:
http://blog.flowroute.com/
4. Free inums and you can forward to URI, DID, host
5. They just enabled cname support on incoming calls
6. Never had a service interuption
7. get Pat Fleet or Alex Kasperavicius to record your IVR menus:
https://www.flowroute.com/voice/voice/
8. They supported calling inums before releasing inums. Some companies
think of inmus as competition, but flowroute did not have that impression.
9. free calling to toll free numbers
10. Free test account with 25 cent credit. Sign up and make some calls. You
won't be able to receive calls until you buy a DID, though. (that's
expected)

What I would like improved at Flowroute:
0. Better DID search. As of now, you must select an area code, then a rate
center to see all available numbers. There's no way to search for a string
in their available list.

What I hope will be released at flowroute:
0. Public API with a very good userguide.
1. SMS support


My next favorite suggestion would be voip.ms


Hope this helps!

happy new year,
jungleboogie
