Sounds like the answer to your questions is yes, and I am a big supporter of CallCentric.
And the CC Office Unlimited Inbound plan is a good deal.
Also, choosing your outbound service and choosing your inbound service just means that you have freedom to customize.
When you said [Trying to grasp the setup here as I've never used a separate account type setup for inbound and outbound], I really don't know what you mean.
It's one account. (Voip.MS and Anveo and others work the same way).
When you go to a restaurant, the waiter asks you what kind of appetizer you want, and what kind of main course. That doesn't make it into two separate meals. It's one meal, and you'll pay one bill at the end.
But I do need to say:
*With my present equipment (using basic IP phones), all I have to do is register the CC account on ONE port. Even though multiple calls can be handled at the same time, I have only registered one account, one time. The phone handles multiple calls automatically. I do [not] know if your SPA-2000 ATA works the same way. [That] could be an issue, also how your ATA interacts with your current phone.
*Also, as someone else said, if you do need [more than one registration] then a provider with subaccounts would be easier.
----------------------------------
Do NOT port your number to ANYONE until you have tried out their service and are happy with it. CC themselves suggest this, in fact.
You can TEST the service for very little money.
You can get a New York phone number for free. And although that may sound strange, this is just for you to TEST things out.
So you would sign up for CC:
»
www.callcentric.com/products/For the outbound plan, choose [Pay Per Call]. You can CHANGE this LATER at any time, we're just testing.
For the inbound plan, choose [Free Phone Number]. Again, this is just for TESTING, they will not force you to start talking like a New Yorker.
Your costs for the TEST are going to be:
1) Whatever outbound calls you made for testing, even one hour of outbound calls on the [Pay Per Call] plan is just about one dollar. There's no setup fee on that plan.
2) Inbound (using the free NY phone number for TESTING) is free, and no setup fee on that plan either. You can call the test number using your cellphone, your cellphone company doesn't care if you are calling to New Orleans or New York.
3) To keep things kosher
, you do need to set up 911, that's 1.50 a month and one-time setup of 1.50.
So:
BEFORE porting your number, you can TEST CallCentric for a total of FOUR DOLLARS.
If you put in five bucks to start, and you're not happy, they'll refund your other dollar.
If you are happy, you can port your number, change the outbound and inbound plans, etc.
(And just give back the free NY number. Unless your church wants to keep it, to advertise that they even have a NY number to encourage sinners to call).
