<font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">There in lies the problem with VoIP in Rural Areas... If they have a small rural ILEC there good luck on porting them... What you’ll end up having to do is either get that LEC to deliver it as SIP or use a TDM -> SIP gateway of some sort<br>

I love their service but it seems when I try to port a number over to them from someone who wants to get away from their current provider. Flowroute doesn't service the area.. Is there a provider I can port a number to then have flowroute get the number from them? Like a proxy somewhat. I have schools that are wanting to switch to freeswitch and I always have to do remote call forwarding on their line. So they pay flowroute and still their current provider for the RCF feature. Just trying to get advice on what you all have had experiences with and gather any ideas if I can. <br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
