SOLVED Looking to show off again new york did

[rg00dman]

Hi All

Trying to show off what a wonderful thing a home PBX is to my family and yet again another chance has presented itself, my brother is going to get married in New York (we live in the UK), but sadly myself and the blushing bride's grandma are unable to go, so I thought why dont I set-up two or one with an IVR New York DID's so when they are away they have a cheap way to keep in contact, don't get me wrong I am under no illusion it wont be me they will be calling lol.

So I have looked around but I cant seem to find any active provider which gives free DID in New York, I found one but you had to phone there office during normal working hours and as always this is lastmintue.com so if anyone out there knows of somewhere please let me know.

Oh I tried sipgate and they don't seem to have any New York DID's at the moment.

Thanks for your help.

Hi

Speak to IP-Comms, they are likely to be able to help. http://www.ipcomms.net/

Also check out other cities that are in the same LATA which would result in a local call.

I.E. Brewster, Jamesport, Huntington all appear to be in the same LATA (http://www.localcallingguide.com/lca_listexch.php?lata=132) and have numbers available via VOIP.MS

Get a 99 cents/month NYC DID from Localphone.com. They are UK based. (Servers in Amsterdam, actually) 99 cents a month unmetered is essentially free. (No term or contract) Just register the DID with your PBX and have it ring your UK phones.

Hi

Thanks for all the comments I went with Joe's solution got a number in Rhode Island which I think will still be cheaper than them calling uk numbers.
