Hi there, I stumbled on this list mostly by accident. I came across Asterisk * as a means to help me get a better handle on my soaring telephone costs. Each month I look at my phone bills and my stomach just turns because I can not find any competition to Verizon which is the local anointed phone company around here.
Since I am a neophyte at all this I was wondering if some kind soul would confirm/disconfirm my assumptions about this software called Asterisk *. 1) Am I correct to assume that there is a way to dump Verizon and strictly go VOIP in a SOHO situation? 2) Can 1-800 numbers terminate to a VOIP assigned number? 3) With VOIP am I under the assumption that one must also purchase licenses for such service to work. 4) Who are the companies I can purchase VOIP service from? I need numbers in my local area code, plus I need some kind of unlimited VOIP service Asia - mainly to Taiwan. 5) Am I being unrealistic in my savings by implementing an Asterisk * PBX in our SOHO situation. Thanks for helping this person out.
