KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:The year is 2020 and Kotex needs a home VOIP setup (I think.) I'm taking care of my parents through the quarantine, my cell service Sucks rear end out here (and not in the hip millennial way) but we have pretty decent internet. I hear the Google Voice hardware adapters introduce a fair amount of lag. Is there a good, cheap, reliable VOIP service? Yes. Buy a SIP trunk. https://les.net/voice-services/ is a great, cheap provider. To keep things simple, pay $4.99CAD a month for unlimited use of a DID, with $0.015CAD/Minute outbound. Shoot them an email to see if you can buy a local, US number from them. quote:All the ones I see online seem to be geared towards businesses ($$$). You are correct as most people have cellphones. Only businesses really have a need for VOIP anymore. quote:Even better if the hardware is compatible with a plain old corded phone. Alternately, I know my parents' house used to have two phone lines back in the early 2000s, would it be cheaper to just buy a second landline again? Probably not? You can actually use your existing analogue phone hardware and phone lines in your walls with a VOIP system. Buy an analogue, RJ-11 card and pop it in an old PC you are using for Asterisk. https://www.voipsupply.com/digium-1a4b00f This card costs $240USD new. Don't pay this much! Simply shop around on eBay or wherever for an old PC tower from the last 4-5 years (you can easily get an old PC tower that's 4-5 years old for $100) with the matching motherboard expansion slot as your analogue, RJ-11 card and you're good to go! Then all you need to do is run an RJ-11 phone line from your Asterisk server to your phone line wall outlet, and you're good to go! Of course if you don't get a dial tone, you will have to mess around with checking the phone line wall plates for DSL filters, and checking the outlets for a tone, but that's for a different post. Edit: Here's a 4-Port Analogue Telephony Card with PCI-e (M and B key) for $26USD!!!! - https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sangoma-AFT...mUAAOSw6FheEFzl GiveUpNed fucked around with this message at 14:48 on May 20, 2020 |
