    VOIP with PBX service?

    I know this has been brought up several times before, however I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good VOIP provider who offers a hosted PBX style service?

    I've researched and it looks like packet8.net is the best service/price value?

    any good/bad/ugly on moving to this service?

    Packet8 is who Todd (sextoyking) uses and he has recommended it MANY times.

      Check out Covad's new iPBX and vPBX. Both are cool.

      A little expensive to get off the ground, but scales nicely.

      I am waiting until the soft phones come out for vPBX. I'm not in the mood to pay $600 per phone for a cisco VoIP handset. The soft handsets are just a software based phone where you just plug a headset into your USB port on your PC. Just like Skype.

        That's where I originally got the link. Packet8 FINALLY started offering the PBX based system. It's about $533 setup and $120/mo for their 3 line minimum. It includes 3 IP phones and the first month service.

        I'm paying about $250/mo with our existing 3 line setup. It varies based upon the amount of 800# calls we have. Seems like a good deal to reduce my costs by 50%+


        I checked out Covad.. and it seems they are selling the VOIP server rather than the hosted solution. or am I missing something?

          i used to have a link to an open source program which will treat any voip service as a pbx.
          i believe their example was with vonage but i cant find the link for hte life of me now.
