I was wondering if it was possible to have a phone # on my asterrisk machine, so people can call me. is it also possible to have an 800 # on your asterisk machine?
Yes
do I have to lease a phone #?
can someone please tell me how this is done?
You mean DID (direct invard dialing)?
This is possible in many ways:
- IPKALL - ipkall.com (you may forward directly to a SIP URI on your box, do not need to go through FWD)
- Voxbone - voxbone.com
- TelIAX - teliax.com (800#s)
Good luck!
