Can anyone recommend a basic USA VoIP provider that will work directly with a standard IP phone from the likes of Linksys, etc.
Flat rate is nice, but not strictly necessary right now… just paying a couple of cents a minute is fine.
I don’t plan to use it much now, but in a few moths I’d like to add a couple of lines and try installing Asterisk. (I don’t mind switching VoIP providers then…)
Have a look at www.sipdiscount.com) and they are fine for domestic use (via an Asterisk server). They provide instructions for setting up various devices to use with their service and there are many destinations where calls are free.

Toll free inbound .50/number 1.9/min and 1.3/min flat out.
For me, paying per min with a toll free DID costs less than anything else because we don’t use the phone as much as we think.
