Re: [General] Cheap DID recommendations said by mazilo:said by DaveTap:another free DID in Desmoines Iowa is SipNumber.com its easy to set up and works well with GrandCentral also. Have you tried the above combination as well as the combination of GC + GizmoProject and notice any differences? Currently, I am using the GC + GizmoProject approach and found out such a combination gives much less latency when compared to GC + IPKall + FWD. I also found a lot of latency with GC + IPKall + FWD. I was driven crazy by the GC "press 1" requirement. The call sometimes dropped by the time I could answer it. However, I've experienced good quality and very low latency with the combination IPKall + FWD + PBXes + VoipCheap.
Regarding SipNumber, I've had no problems when forwarding to another number, but it has not worked well when I tried to register it to PBXes as an incoming trunk. I can't recall whether I had a problem registering with SipNumber to ring on my ATA. I noticed just now when I tried to log into my SipNumber account, it forced me to a RingToNumber control panel. That control panel allows forwarding only to a PSTN number, not a SIP number. Fortunately, I was able to log in to Freedigits, which still allows forwarding to a SIP number. I currently have my SipNumber account forwarded to PBXes and use it to control remote call forwarding (i.e., call following) through PBXes. |
