00:05.13jbot[~itsplist-us] Here are some popular ITSPs (USA) starting with the more respected ones : http://www.teliax.com , http://connect.voicepulse.com , http://www.nufone.net , http://www.broadvoice.com, http://www.jnctn.com , http://www.bandwidth.com , http://vitelity.net

00:05.41Kyoshbandwidth.com is a joke.  they only resell other providers
00:05.58Kyoshbroadvoice, voicepulse, they are ok, but they dont do wholesale
00:06.20lesouvagehello, I have a weird problem. I have a script that generates callfiles using a list of telephne numbers. If I use this script from the Asterisk cli with the proper parameters copied from the Asterisk cli it is working ok. When I launch the script using the System() app in the dialplan Asterisk is complaining about invalid file content but is launching the call three times. Any suggestion or...
00:06.21lesouvage...pointers?
00:06.34Kyoshtsg is good but they require so damn much money minimum every month
00:06.53lesouvageasterisk cli=linux cli
00:07.21jayteeaha! so you didn't really launch the script from the Asterisk CLI!!! No soup for you!!!!
00:07.27lesouvagethe first asterisk cli (sorry, back in full typo mode)
00:07.29Kyoshheheh
00:08.02jayteeKyosh, what about Level3? I think they do wholesale voip
00:08.34Kyoshthey do but require a very large volume
00:08.47Kyoshotherwise you have to buy from a reseller
00:08.52Kyoshthen there is commpartners
00:08.57Kyoshhavent used them in a while
00:08.59KyoshUTI was a joke
00:09.07lesouvagejaytee: The script has different results depending on how it was lounched. When using the System() app within the dialplan things go wrong, when launched (just for testing)  from the linux prompt it works ok.
00:09.30infinity1Kyosh: is tsg 4tsg.com ?
00:10.56Kyoshnopes
00:11.09jayteelesouvage, my psychic powers tell me that something is wrong in the way it's called in the dialplan but I'm fresh out of tea leaves and chicken entrails so I can't be more precise.
00:11.13Kyoshtsg is a wholesale buyer from level3 and others but they have great prices
00:11.27infinity1Kyosh: whats their website?
00:12.06Kyoshtsgglobal
00:12.08Kyoshsukie site

00:28.27jayteeno, he was addressing RichiH from freenode staff.
00:29.04lesouvagejaytee: Do you see anything strange in the callfiles (except that the system added some lines while generating calls in the process)

00:35.46Kyoshrum rum rum
00:38.23jayteelesouvage, I'm not that well versed in callfiles. I don't see anything obviously wrong in the pastebin but since some of the vars are using what I assume is Danish or some other language I'm having problems following the logic.
00:39.10Chainsawjaytee: It's flemish or dutch.
00:39.10lesouvageSome variables are named in Dutch
00:39.17Chainsawjaytee: Betting on dutch because of the 31 country code.
00:39.32Chainsawjaytee: BELLEND_NUMMER is 'incoming number', KLANT is customer.
00:39.59jayteeok, dutch it is then. I still don't see anything in the code that would make it try to loop or run through 3 iterations
00:43.20lesouvageI think I know the answer. The context is also called by a callfile but there is no Answer() at the top so no signal is giving back that the local channel is actualy "picked up". Now I added an Answer() at the beginning and now I just have one call. I can go to bed ;-)
00:44.01jayteecool!
00:44.07lesouvagejaytee: thanks for the effort.
00:44.26jayteelesouvage, your welcome.

01:19.41k-manwhat are "queues" in asterisk?
01:26.09k-man[TK]D-Fender: you awake?
01:26.37drmessanoHes not
01:26.42k-manoh
01:27.15k-manwhen moh is not required, it seems asterisk suspends the moh process
01:27.32k-manis there a way to make asterisk kill the process when not required rather than suspend it?
01:28.20drmessanoWhat "process"?  Its a module
01:28.32drmessanoWhy would you need to kill it?
01:29.11jayteequeues are for answering multiple calls to the same number and having the calls directed to queue "members" in whatever manner you choose, i.e. whichever member hasn't taken a call in the longest time period or ringing all available member phones at once.
01:29.44k-mandrmessano: oh - a custom one, it calls mplayer
01:30.14k-manjaytee: ah, thanks - so it can be used in say, call centers?
01:30.39jayteek-man, yes it's usually exactly where it's used in most situations.
01:31.33jayteeor if you have one main DID number pointing to a "receptionist" or an IVR and you want to control the flow of the calls, throttle the number of calls entering the IVR for some purpose, etc.
01:31.35*** join/#asterisk HouseMD (n=nandateb@unaffiliated/geek)
01:31.37k-mandrmessano: i need to kill it because i have set up streaming audi of a radio station as moh. the problem is, once moh is not required, it suspends the process. mplayer has a cache so when asterisk resumes the mplayer process, you hear about 10 seconds of audio, which is old and no longer live, then it stops for a few seconds and then resumes with fresh audio
01:31.54k-manjaytee: i see, thanks
01:32.26k-mandrmessano: i'd like to eliminate that problem
01:32.40drmessanoI dont get into the whole streaming-audio-as-moh thing, since 99% of the time, people are not doing it legally
01:33.03jayteesome serious fines if you get caught
01:33.22k-mandrmessano: oh - well, actually, its just for my home use - and i don't even play it to people on hold. i just have it so i can dial a number and listen to the radio
01:33.38drmessanoTell that to the judge
01:33.45drmessanoSlimeball
01:33.47k-manits kinda cool too - cos i dial 702, and get the radio station on AM 702khz
01:33.56drmessanoheh
01:33.58drmessanoOh......
01:34.02k-manor say, dial 630 and get that "frequency"
01:34.03drmessanoYou said the magic words
01:34.05drmessanoAM
01:34.13k-mangood old am
01:34.19drmessanoI kid, I kid
01:34.36drmessanoAM can kiss my ass
01:34.38k-manwell, in sydney, they stations i like happen to be on AM. however in other parts of the country (in australia) they transmit them in FM
01:35.06k-manbut technicaly speaking, i'm not listening to AM, i am listening to some sort of TDMA
01:35.16k-mansorry, TDM
01:35.32drmessanoAM Radio is 1% of the revenue for a group of radio stations, and 99% of the work
01:35.54k-mandrmessano: dunno - the stations i listen to are government owned
01:36.01k-mananyway - any idea how to do what I want to do?
01:36.11drmessanoDynamite
01:36.15drmessanoNo, I dunno
01:36.20k-manok, mv
01:36.24k-mannever mind i mean
01:36.32drmessanoI didnt realize I was talking to someone in OZ
01:36.43k-manyes - you are :)
01:36.52drmessanoI didnt think you guys could get a signal out from there now, with that firewall and all
01:37.05k-mandrmessano: yeah - tell me about it
01:37.16k-mani don't quite know what the gov. has been smoking
01:37.16drmessanoSo let me get this right
01:38.05drmessanoThe govt there blocks legal and illegal web surfing, words with the letter Q, Z, and P everywhere else, but not IRC?
01:38.26k-mandrmessano: actually, they aren't blocking anything yet
01:38.34k-manthat legislation was shot down afaik
01:38.34drmessanoCan I get a fair dinkum?
01:38.52k-manonly if you have a you beauty
01:40.05drmessanoFunny thing is
01:40.42drmessanoHow the hell would Australian ISPs even implement a govt mandated firewall?  They cant even implement SERVICE

05:06.14[TK]D-Fenderdrmessano: I save with Geiko!
05:06.29hope4every1so brack what exactly r u planning to do with asterisk
05:06.39Brack10drmessano: oh so using Asterisk as my PBX will save me way more is what you're saying
05:08.35drmessanoAsterisk, when taken as part of a diet including whole grain properly priced telco may or may not result in a large decrease in costs, increase in efficiency and reliabily, and erections lasting more than 4 hours
05:08.48Brack10I think in addition to the phones they want 1194/mo for 4 offices...5 1-800 numbers, 10 DIDs, unlimited LD etc
05:08.52drmessanoPlease see a doctor if you experience dizzyness, giddyness, or a payraise
05:08.58Brack10is that a ripoff?
05:09.52drmessanoGood god
05:09.53[TK]D-FenderBrack10: inconclusive
05:10.00[TK]D-FenderBrack10: but quite likely
05:10.17Brack1058 phones
05:10.17drmessanoThese fuckin "Packet8 phones"
05:10.37drmessanoReminds me of the rebranded Polycoms marked up 100%
05:10.43Brack10probably 5 concurrent per office, 10 concurrent MAX
05:10.52Brack10$200 per phone for the middle of the road

05:14.00hope4every1hi
05:14.35Brack10I think I'll master AGI while we make the transition to IP and then when the contract runs out deploy Asterisk
05:15.01drmessanoAsterisk doesnt save you money.. Asterisk is a toolkit which is commonly used for building PBX systems that faciliate access to a variety of IP and/or analog based services which allow you to have a much greater choice over the services you use
05:15.35[TK]D-Fenderyup
05:15.41Brack10right
05:15.43Brack10I understand that
05:15.58drmessanoPoint being, Asterisk is not the solution.. it's an enabler for the solution, which is freedom of choice
05:16.39drmessanoTheres lots of options out there, and most companies play on making things easy via retarded bundles of services and overpriced products
05:16.42Brack10well that's great
05:17.03Brack10I'd love to own the PBX and be able to choose who I get my service from
05:17.17drmessanoand have freedom over the devices you use
05:17.26drmessanoand not just lockin to $400 phones
05:17.36drmessanoor any specific manufacturer
05:17.48Brack10yeah I want the cool Cisco phones
05:17.53drmessano.....
05:17.55Brack10you know the ones on 24 and The Office
05:18.07drmessanoOk, I am going to stab you now
05:18.13drmessanoHold still pls

05:18.24drmessanoNo, really.. stop moving..
05:18.41Brack10what's wrong with that?

05:18.51[TK]D-Fendercisco = overpriced trouble
05:18.54drmessanoCheaper too

05:21.17Brack10no but really, what phones do you like, messano?
05:22.47drmessanoThe linksys and polycom stuff is good... I like the Linksys phones, but they're not for everyone
05:23.24drmessanoActually, the Linksys stuff is being rebranded into low end Cisco stuff now, so I guess it's not too bad
05:23.37Brack10heh
05:23.55Brack10well shit maybe I shouldn't make the mistake of locking in a super inflated hosted deal
05:24.11drmessanoUm YEAH
05:24.49harry_vgood for them not for you :)
05:25.09Brack10I just figured Asterisk was super hard to configure and I would be an outcast in the community if I didn't know how to use the CLI very well and couldn't program AGI
05:25.32harry_vyou do not need to use agi at all
05:25.39harry_vfor a basic running system
05:25.49Brack10I see
05:25.57drmessanoNo, you'll be an outcast if you act like a n00b and dont follow directions many of us put into simple, small pieces, and/or you are an argumentative dumbass SOB..
05:26.01drmessanoI think that sums it up
05:26.16Brack10What if I use the web interface exclusively?
05:26.30drmessanoIf you want to learn, it doesnt matter how little you know, just be willing to learn and do the work and theres many that will help you
05:26.31harry_vthe you would ask in another chanell
05:26.43Brack10I see
05:27.07harry_vits not that hard to set up a basic asterisks system. how many phones are you setting up?
05:27.15Brack1053 across 4 offices

12:12.30gsienerCool.  We've been using Voicepulse which had been great until they shut down their iax channels.
12:12.51gsienerFor some reason our overbearing router/firewall has a much better time w/ iax than sip
12:13.07UQlevgsiener: actually for asterisk doesn't matter iax or sip, you may setup any
12:13.59gsienerI know, It's just that we have a Sonicwall appliance.  It supposedly does SIP qos but ends up mangling calls
12:14.06UQlevgsiener: and better keep your asterisk on pure punlic IP not behind router/firewall
12:14.16gsieneryeah, it's on a public IP

12:20.58mort_gibReally like pf !
12:20.59UQlevaha, that's a matter
12:21.16UQlevmort_gib: I like pf as well but not for sip
12:21.23mort_gibhow come??
12:22.04mort_gibNo way I'm leaving my Asterisk BOX with a public IP
12:22.22UQlevmort_gib: somwhere I fount that pf nat is symmetric or so, that is worst for voip
12:22.49mort_gib?? symetric NAT??
12:23.18UQlevmort_gib: I don't remeber now there were 3-4 different types of NAT
12:24.00mort_gibYeah, just read up on it
12:24.51UQlevand pf's nat the one which can't work even with stun
12:25.11mort_gibThen use RDR
12:25.25UQlevrdr for each user?
12:26.03UQlevmy asterisk is on public IP and all users behind router/firewall
12:26.43mort_gibstatic-port
12:26.44UQlevI had to use siproxd and rtp-proxy
12:26.55UQlevit works fine
12:27.38mort_gibOkay, I would have kept the Asterisk server on the same LAN as the clients, but hey
12:27.46mort_gibDepends on setup
12:28.41UQlevmort_gib: I want my clients to connet from home or from netcafes as well
12:29.33mort_gibOkay, I use Asterisk the other way around
12:29.38UQlevit is a way better than to have mobile roaming
12:30.11mort_gibSo Clients are local to my asterisk server and I use providers outside the network
12:30.24mort_gibYes, if you have Internet
12:30.44UQlevmort_gib: I have local and remote clients and a few providers
12:30.57mort_gibI'm in Spain, so finding a connection is ften problematic

13:45.46mostyNMR_1122: it may depend on your voip provider, especially if you're using SIP
13:46.37NMR_1122I have two virtual number with the voip provider. when I call either one, only my primary number shows up in the asterisk console
13:46.55shyam_khi can i get a pointer to a better explanation for extension s?
13:47.25NMR_1122it says executing [1231231234@incomming_calls:1]
13:47.41NMR_1122is the number there what I would get from the Exten var?
13:47.49shyam_ki mean i get that extension i works for an invalid input, and so on. but didnt get when extension s works.,.
13:49.15NMR_1122I though i was for invalid input?
13:50.08shyam_kyeah its for invalid input, like that i didnt get for what extension s works..
13:50.47NMR_1122Sorry, I meant the "i" extension
13:55.50NMR_1122shyam: "                                                                                     When
13:55.50NMR_1122calls enter a context without a specific destination extension (for example, a ringing
13:55.50NMR_1122FXO line), they are passed to the s extension. (The s stands for “start,” as this is where
13:55.50NMR_1122a call will start if no extension information was passed with the call.)"
13:56.55shyam_kyeah i quoted that here earlier.. i didn't get how i can make a call enter a context without extension
13:57.13NMR_1122I think that happens automatically
13:57.28shyam_klike when i call from a softphone, all i do is to dial the extension..so how can i miss the extension or its like, this situation never comes for a softphone?
13:57.30NMR_1122when you set an incomming line to go into a sertain context
13:58.06NMR_1122I'm not an expert on this, but I think that all internal calls will be using a specific extension
13:58.33NMR_1122so "s" is for incoming only
13:59.05NMR_1122like in your SIP conf file, when you create an entry for your VOIP provider, you say context=my_context
13:59.13shyam_kthe thing is if i get that point correctly i have one more core point learned about the structure of asterisk:)
13:59.31NMR_1122then you would use the "s" extension in the dial plan under [my_context]
14:00.59NMR_1122"s" is also the only valid extension in a macro

23:20.41NMR_1122What is the Voip service called where you get multiple numbers and multiple lines on one plan? So when someone calls any of your numbers, it comes through on whichever line is open at the time?
23:21.50florzNMR_1122: That line stuff is the bussiness of your ISP with VoIP, not of your ITSP.
23:21.53florz-s
23:23.47NMR_1122I'm not sure lines is the right term?
23:23.57drmessanoIts not
23:24.08florzNMR_1122: depends on whether you are talking about lines, I guess =:-)
23:24.08NMR_1122By line, I mean calls at the same time
23:24.09drmessanoYou get multiple channels
23:24.22drmessanoFor concurrent calls
23:24.49florzNMR_1122: so, what is "it comes through whichever call is open at the time" supposed to mean?!
23:25.02NMR_1122so channels is the voip equivalent of a "line"in the traditional system?
23:25.36florzNMR_1122: no, there is no equivalent, except for the actual IP "line", in case there is any and you aren't connected to the internet by radio
23:26.06drmessanoChannels are channels.. the only equivalent in telco would be channels on a T1..
23:26.07florzNMR_1122: there is no point to any equivalent, as the internet is a packet switching network, as opposed to telephone networks
23:26.09drmessanoBut lines, no
23:27.48NMR_1122But the number of channels you pay for is the number of people that can make calls at once, just like having 3 traditional phone lines at your business means three employees can make calls simultaneously?
23:27.59jeff_phillipsyes
23:28.02drmessanoPretty much
23:28.42jeff_phillipsare there any DID providers where I can receive inbound calls via a SIP trunk, and also receive inbound SMS messages in some means over IP ?
23:28.42florzNMR_1122: no - the number of concurrent calls your plan allows for is the number of concurrent calls you can make
23:28.56drmessanoWhich is what he said
23:28.56florzNMR_1122: or receive, or whatever you are buying
23:29.26NMR_1122Ok, I think that channels is what I meant then.

23:31.56drmessanoWhen I purchase a "DID with 2 channels" from my ITSP, I can rx 2 calls at one time.. When they allow me to terminate 2 calls at one time over a peer, thats not far from his analogy of having 2 lines

23:38.56[TK]D-FenderCapriCoRN^80: I know all too well... it took you MONTHS to simply install *
23:39.07Kumba_A lot of people end up writing there own though
23:39.08jeff_phillipsflorz: But it's still relevent in a VoIP world that still makes use of connections to the PSTN because the telcos usually are going to count how many calls they'll let you send to/from them
23:39.10[TK]D-FenderCapriCoRN^80: I pity your prospective clients
23:39.30CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender: well i worked hard on it .. doesnot matter
23:39.36[TK]D-Fenderthe words "uniquely unqualified" come to mind...
23:39.53florz[TK]D-Fender: you weren't trying to tell me something, were you?
23:39.55CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender: if you are too good .. you should thanks to God but not try to insult others
23:40.50[TK]D-FenderCapriCoRN^80: Too good?  Not possible and I am among many more knowledgeable than myself here.
23:41.29CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender: well your words show ur attitude
23:41.31florzjeff_phillips: yeah, sure they will count, but why does it make sense to call such a counter limit a "number of channels", and why then not just say "your VoIP plan includes 3 lines"?
23:41.36[TK]D-FenderCapriCoRN^80: However anyone who requires such massive hand-holding just to install *, and then jsut an much to get 1 stupid softphone talking to it, and has no programming skills to speak of should not be running a business venture off *
23:41.40CapriCoRN^80if i am not genius i can work hard
23:42.05CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender: i am not running a business venture
23:42.10Kumba_Man, someone spiked fender's kool-aid tonight
23:42.16CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender: i am a student and doing it for my learning
23:42.42[TK]D-FenderCapriCoRN^80: Billing for learning?  Interesting.
23:43.07florzjeff_phillips: if anything, it is, maybe, a limit on the number of channels you may use, which is quite a different thing from a "VoIP line" "having n channels" or something
23:43.14CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender: why not .. what you think is not always right
23:43.17[TK]D-FenderCapriCoRN^80: If you wanted to learn, you'd have downloaded and tried this stuff yourself.  You continue to have people hand-hold you through everything.
23:43.31CapriCoRN^80so stop making your own decesion about others
23:44.16NMR_1122so....
23:44.20CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender: well i am trying and when i stuck i asked people and try to learn from my mistakes but that doesnt mean that i am always looking for you
23:44.25[TK]D-FenderI prefer to think of them as "historically backed and mutually accepted evaluations of repeat encounters over the span of a year"

23:45.18CapriCoRN^80and talking about * for months .. well you are wrong again .. as i told you i am student .. i spent 2 days on * and then i was busy in studies and did try few weeks after
23:45.22Kumba_I'm hoping for a wardrobe malfunction
23:45.26CapriCoRN^80and you counted that as whole
23:45.40[TK]D-FenderKumba_: We got them "wardrobe-optional"
23:45.42[TK]D-Fender:)
23:45.51CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender: I was not installing * for whole month
23:45.55Kumba_Amen... now just tell me it's an all-female review and i'm there
23:46.20[TK]D-FenderCapriCoRN^80: I remember a solid week of your coming in here for it, and then 2 weeks just beating away with stupid routing issues
23:46.35[TK]D-FenderKumba_: ^5
23:46.43CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender: well not regularly
23:46.49NMR_1122What would a service be called where you can have any of your inbound numbers use the next available line/channel/call?
23:46.57CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender: you can check the log
23:47.22[TK]D-FenderNMR_1122: Typically "line-hunting" , "busy/no-answer transfer", or "cascading"
23:47.25CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender: first i installed it on my laptop which got ubuntu and then on centos
23:47.26florzNMR_1122: well, as I said, there is no such thing
23:47.50[TK]D-Fenderflorz: Most certainly is.
23:47.55florzNMR_1122: a call is what is created when a user/caller requests it, it doesn't exist beforehand
23:48.26florzNMR_1122: and "lines" or "channels" don't exist as such with VoIP
23:48.42NMR_1122Yes, but you usually pay by the "line" or "channel"
23:48.59NMR_1122whether technically correct term, or not
23:49.03Kumba_Lines or Channels only exist in terms of termination/origination and in terms of software concurrency limits...
23:49.03CapriCoRN^80[TK]D-Fender:
23:49.09florzNMR_1122: yeah, that is marketing-speak for "maximum number of concurrent calls"
23:49.27florzNMR_1122: tecnically, that's plain nonsens
23:49.28florz+h
23:49.29[TK]D-FenderNMR_1122: From a VoIP perspective there is no inherent limit to the # of channels you can have aside from restrictions placed upon you
23:49.31florz+e
23:49.34florzgrrr
23:49.42*** join/#asterisk bsaxon (n=bsaxon@68.117.152.206)
23:50.10NMR_1122Ok, let me ask the question in a different way....
23:51.58jeff_phillipsif the call originaties and terminates entirely on VoIP then channels is only a marketing term. If the call is connected to the PSTN then channels may refer to the number of cocurrent calls allowed through the interconnection point equipment / circuit / magic
23:52.46florzjeff_phillips: as we are in marketing-land, channels may just as well refer to maximum number of concurrent voip-only calls ...
23:53.14Kumba_PSTN magic is what you want
23:53.18Kumba_it makes all things possible
23:53.32NMR_1122I have a working asterisk box. I have an 888 number with the local phone company, which i can port. Right now, we can only take one call at a time because the 800 number is attached to a single phone company line. If a customer calls, and we're talking to them, and another customer calls, the second customer goes to voicemail or gets a busy signal.
23:54.12NMR_1122We'd like for any calls made to the 800 number to get routed to asterisk, at the same time
23:54.34NMR_1122(and switching to viop in the process)
23:54.46jeff_phillipsNMR_1122: Why do you have telco voice mail on your POTS line? If you absolutely must keep the POTS line, why not setup busy-call-forwarding to send the calls to a DID over a SIP trunk when the POTS line is busy
23:55.10jeff_phillips(of course porting the 800# to a voip service provider is probably wise too)
23:55.22[TK]D-FenderNMR_1122: Point/port your 800# to an ITSP and the only limit will be bandwidth and your agrement with them.
23:56.10NMR_1122That's sort of the plan... we just aren't sure how to "Google" for the kind of company we want. Voip returns to many consumer-residential type results
23:56.19[TK]D-FenderNMR_1122: A phone # is just a stupid #.  Limits are based on agreements and technology.  Use of an analog line restricts you to 1 call.  VoIP does not.
23:56.24[TK]D-Fender~itsp
23:56.25jbot[~itsp] An ITSP is an Internet telephony Service Provider or "VoIP Telephone company". The allow you to either PLACE calls to the PSTN (called Termination), RECEIVE calls from the PSTN (called Origination), or both. Some offer fixed rates, others $/min. Enter ~itsplist-us (USA) or ~itsplist-ca (Canada) for a listing of popular ITSPs
23:56.28[TK]D-FenderNMR_1122: ^^^^
23:56.32[TK]D-Fender~itsplist-us
23:56.33jbot[~itsplist-us] Here are some popular ITSPs (USA) starting with the more respected ones : http://www.teliax.com , http://connect.voicepulse.com , http://www.nufone.net , http://www.broadvoice.com, http://www.jnctn.com , http://www.bandwidth.com , http://vitelity.net
23:56.38[TK]D-FenderNMR_1122: Get chopping
23:56.43[TK]D-Fendershopping* :)
23:57.01florzNMR_1122: well, just look for an ITSP that does allow enough concurrent inbound calls for your needs - either directly for terminting the toll-free number, or as suggested by others, for forwarding your overflow-calls to, just remember that you'll have to pay for the second (forwarding) call, too, then, probably
23:57.07jeff_phillipsgotta go, ttyl
23:58.55NMR_1122so if i use an ITSP with the toll free number, we don't have to use forwarding then, because the ITSP handles that?
23:59.06NMR_1122bye jeff
23:59.11NMR_1122thanks
