small business voip options
 
anyone out there using voip services? have been using vonage for the last 4 years and it's been doable for just 2 of us - but growing a bit now and looking for something a little better and more flexible.

We run an Asterisk PBX for our phones at work (http://www.asterisk.org/) linked into a box called Voice Blue that has 2 SIM cards for free calling to cell phones within our company. The PBX routes cell phone calls through the Voice Blue automatically to any number in our plan.

We run VOIP over fibre through a Rhino channel bank (http://www.rhinoequipment.com/cb.html).

Our older box wasn't too stable and would crash and take down our phones about once a month or so, just needed a reboot to get it going again, but the newer build is much more stable, we haven't had it crash since it was put in.

I don't know too much about the set up, not good with Linux at all.

Thumbs up for asterisk. We ran it at my old company - it's pretty easy to setup & configure. You can run VOIP phones that plug directly into cat 5 or run SIP adapters and use standard phones (cheaper). Features I like are having it email me when I get voicemails and I can hit a web interface to view calls and listen to voicemails as well. You can have it roll calls, so give out 1 number and it'll try several numbers until it finds you or roll to VM. You can setup point to point too so you can have free calling between branch offices over a broadband connection.

I've had good luck with mediatrix boxes in the past.
