Not to rain on johns parade but there are a few other out-of-the-box services that offer 1-800 numbers including http://grasshopper.com/ http://grasshopper.com/ and http://www.ringcentral.com/ http://www.ringcentral.com/. We use RingCentral and its horrendously complicated. Grasshopper looks a little more streamlined. Twilio is really pretty easy unless your totally technically inept.
- johns 16y agoYeah I didn't mean to imply we were the only option, just maybe the most affordable for a tech-savvy startup.
- catch23 16y agoWell, if you were tech-savvy, wouldn't you just go for a standard asterisk box solution? 1-800 voip minutes are usually around 1 cent per minute or less, depending how many minutes you buy in one shot.
- mattmillr 16y agoI am tech-savvy, and I've set up 4 Asterisk systems in production. And if I were getting an 800 number for a startup, I'd DEFINITELY outsource it. I'd rather spend my time talking to customers than setting up and maintaining my PBX.
