At the time of writing this page GalaxyVoice is offering unlimited local and long distance phone service with an inbound number for $19.99 a month. They support ULAW,GSM, G726 and G729 audio codecs. They do call waiting and 3 way calling. They support unlimited outgoing calls though the most I've managed is 6 calls at the same time.

Asterisk is not "supported" by them but they are aware of it and are happy for you to "BYO" device. Another thing I like about them is that they have humans on the end of the phone.

You must also open some holes in your firewall. Point ports 5060 (SIP) and 10000-20000 (RTP) at your Asterisk server machine

Put the following in your sip.conf file replacing PHONENUMBER, PASSWORD, USERNAME and EXTEN with the relevant details

register => PHONENUMBER:PASSWORD:USERNAME@216.229.127.40/EXTEN ; galaxyvoice account

[galaxyvoice]
nat=yes
externip=PUT YOUR IP ADDRESS HERE; external address of NAT gateway
port=5060
fromuser=PHONENUMBER
fromdomain=216.229.127.40
username=USERNAME
type=friend
secret=PASSWORD
auth=md5
host=216.229.127.40
defaultip=216.229.127.40
reinvite=no ; we don't want to confuse their server
canreinvite=no ; We don't want to move away from * incase we get codec mangling.
dtmfmode=inband ; they don't support rfc2833 yet. Won't work with anything other than ULAW
context=intern
qualify=1000
disallow=all
allow=ulaw

Put the following in your extensions.conf file

[galaxyvoice]
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,SetCallerID(9738953503)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@galaxyvoice)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,3,Congestion
