I guess it is going to depend upon your provider. Our providers do support multiple calls. We use one provider for inbound calls and one provider for outbound calls. We can have up to five simultaneous inbound calls (why five?) and up to 25 simultaneous outbound calls. We can't even begin to test these limits so I can't confirm them.

I know that VoIP providers can supply their customers with a local number and/or virtual numbers, and then that number/account can be used with Asterisk (well, it depends on the provider and whether or not their service is compatible with Asterisk). However, I have a question: can more than one person make/receive a call at the same using one VoIP line? In the analog world this obviously isn't possible, but with VoIP, it's just bandwidth: the more callers, the more bandwidth. I keep saying to myself it should be possible, but the VoIP providers don't provide any information about this. If five people in the office all need to use their phones at the same time, would I need five VoIP lines, or would I only need one VoIP line? Am I over-thinking this?
