CircleNet Obitalk special
Sam_from_CircleNet:
Hello Obi users!
With the current changes going on in the free and low cost DID world we thought now would be a great time to release a new Obi only offer.
1. CircleNet will provide a DID from our current stock in a location near you. We do not promise any particular number or offer portability. We will bill $1 per month for this DID and $0.002 per minute for each inbound call. Yep you read that right $1 per month.
2. CircleNet will not provide voicemail on the $1 DIDs.
3. CircleNet will give users taking us up on this offer $6 in free credit.
4. This is a special type of account reserved for Obihai devices. CircleNet may block non Obihai devices from connecting to these accounts.
5. CircleNet WILL provide 911 service for these DIDs.
Want it? I thought so! Click here to sign up

Looks like a great deal, Sam, especially considering E911 is included. I do have a few questions.
1)Is the local DID number randomly assigned or can the subscriber choose from a list of numbers?
2)Do you support the forwarding of your DIDs via SIP URI at no additional charge?
3)You said this offer is for OBi "devices" only. Does that restriction apply to softphones also?
4)How many POPs do you have and where are they located?
Thanks.
Edit: I see this is one detail you omitted from your post:

Notes: For the time being CircleNet is absorbing all of the local communication and e911 tax for these DIDs. We expect that to change in the next few months and we will begin to pass these taxes through to customers.

Taoman,
Thanks we think it's a great deal and let me see if I can answer your questions below.
1. We pick the number randomly from whatever area that we have DIDs that is closest to the customers signup address. If you wanted a DID in a different area email us first at sales@ and we'll look, no promises however.
2. Yes we do support that at no charge, you can configure an external SIP URI as a destination.
3. If the softphone connects directly to us via SIP and it's an Obi package we won't block it. Also if the application connects to your hardware Obi device to send/receive calls that would work as well.
I'm not sure if the Obi Softphone app does this based on what I'm reading here. (https://www.obitalk.com/info/faq/OBiTALK-sec/What-is-softphone). We don't have a lot of experience (read next to zero) providing technical support for the Obi softphone app however so we might refer you back to the forum if we aren't able to provide technical support.
4. We currently have pops in Kansas City, Atlanta, California and London. You can ping them here

could we connect a OBI *AND* an Asterisk server to the same DID?

What part of "This is a special type of account reserved for Obihai devices. CircleNet may block non Obihai devices from connecting to these accounts." was unclear?
