[cisco-voip] SIP Trunk providers

[Robert Bell]

Well I've setup a broadvoice.com account.  They were one of the only
providers when I did my research that had a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
plan.  Some others you could make your gear work with, but they charged you
the same.  With BroadVoice you can get a $7-8 plan (subject to taxes).  

I'll be interest to hear if anyone else has other info now.  BV had a lot of
bad press right before I joined the because of a major outage, but I'm just
playing with VoIP at the moment to stay up on technology and I've found them
reliable.  My problem stems mostly from my provider (who will remain
nameless, but I have to wonder if they couldn't do more in the QoS arena for
me - but they have their own VoIP provider).  Okay, I've said too much on
that.

And I've never setup SRST, but I was under the impression that was failover
for CCM to CCME when the Primary or subscriber CCM are unavailable to a
remote site so local comms continues.  I think you'll have to get very
crafty with your dial-peers and give them the SIP dial-peer a higher
priority then the POTS one.  Hey, but I'm a newbie also, so if you have an
idea or find one here, I'm always interested.

I am tring to setup a small office with a cisco UC500 for their phone 
system.
I want to connect the calls over the internet connection via a SIP provider 
and use the FXO port for SRST backup.
 Does anyone have a recommendation for a SIP provider to terminate internet 
calls to PSTN for a reasonable price.
Also, how do I manage the pone number for dialing access, if the local pstn 
line is number 301.123.4567, how do I get that number to be serviced
by the sip provider.

Thanks
