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 On 30 December 2013 10:36, Jun Sun <jsun@junsun.net> wrote:
I just checked their pricing. A little higher than I thought. List for others' info.
Vitelity: 1.2c/min+$1.49/mo or $7.95/mo; $18 per port VOIP.MS: 1~1.49c/min+$0.99~1.49/mo or $4.95~$6.95/mo; FREE port for US. FlowRoute: 1.2c/min+$1.25/mon or $6.25/mo; porting fee not found.
It seems you would need to add more for E911 service as well. It looks VOIP.MS is the cheapest.
Cheers.

You need to choose a TISP (Telephony Internet Service Provider) also called a SIP Provider. They will be able to provide services dialing out to PSTN phones as well as your DIDs.
I have personally had good success with Vitelity and VOIP.MS. I know FlowRoute is a provider with pretty good FreeSwitch support.
Choose one from here: https://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/SIP_Provider_Examples

Hi, guys,
This might be a little off topic, but I think many experts here may know this already. :)
I have a VOIP server set up and running. Now I start to think how to port my home phone number to this server. Basically what I want is if someone calls my home phone number I like to see a SIP connection to my own VOIP server.
Currently I'm using bbtalk as my home phone service. I'm pretty much sure they don't provide this service.
Who would be able to provide this service? I live in USA.
Thanks in advance.
