CircleNet would like to introduce ourselves to the Obi world

Got validated. :D
So what are the steps to use your service on my existing OBI account? Is it posted somewhere in one of these posts?
I've used GV and OBI only. I see a recent post to use this only for outgoing calls and to use callcentric (or something similar) for incoming. I'm pretty techo but this is a bit challenging for me.

Hi, pretty much it is listed in all the threads. I spent a long time hunting but it is all here in this thread. below I gathered a few links. Hope it helps. Its not hard, but remember to turn off the Auto Configuration I think it is. You can find that in the threads in this forum thread.

some stuff seems cryptic but just use some reasoning.
Cheers... :)

thanks volper1.
I'll first get my callcentric account then get started. Keeping fingers crossed it doesn't take me all day to get setup on OBI. ;)

My cost for the day was about $0.30 -- the only strange thing to me is the disparity in rates -- some calls are about one-sixth of a cent per minute, when others are one-third of a cent per minute. I know it really depends on the routing, but the costs are really low for good quality. I just hope you got paid something for my toll-free calls too...
This is generally how US terminations work. In the backend, calls are billed based on the network you are calling. Generally speaking, more rural areas and networks have higher rates (in the 0.6 - 0.7 cpm range - although I have seen some networks charging more than 1 cpm), while more urban areas usually have rates in the 0.3 - 0.4 cpm range. Interestingly, US mobile / cell phones are billed at a lower rate unlike other countries where mobiles are charged more (usually close to 0.1 cpm) possibly due to IP networks that the operators use to terminate calls. VoIP providers also generally charge lower rates if a provider has termination routes to them (around 0.2 - 0.3 cpm). As far as I know, Circlenet doesn't bill based on the network you are calling, but rather on the prefix the number you are calling. For example, if you were calling 415-731-XXXX, the prefix will designate an AT&T landline number, with Circlenet you will still be charged the same rates if you ported this number away to say a VoIP provider. Other providers bill on a local routing number (LRN), so if the number you are calling have been ported away to some other provider, you will be charged at provider's rate instead of the prefix rates.

can we port of google voice number to circlenet? I don't see anything on your website for this. TIA
