Now that I have found a couple of good outgoing PSTN providers
I want to get incoming service. I'd like to use a provider
who will be able to port my old number (765-497, West Lafayette,
IN) once I decide to drop my hard line.

The "consumer" services (Vonage, Packet8, Callvantage) appear to
have rate centers here but their packages start at $20. They
include lots of stuff I don't want including, I expect, some
limitations on how I make outgoing calls. (Can I simultaneously
call two PSTN lines upon getting an incoming call?)

I'd rather just find someone to provide basic incoming service
but the providers I've found don't have rate centers here. It's
not always easy to find these lists so maybe I'm missing some.
Is there a compilation somewhere?

Thank you.

I haven't found anyone local to me either, but there is a group
calling themselves IPKALL http://www.ipkall.com/ that gives free
(inbound-only) DID's out of Washington State. (I'm guessing that they
live off of the settlements the LD phone companies have to pay for
terminating a call,)

There are others. I recommend this list.
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-VOIP+Service+Providers

I've gone through all of the "Asterisk to/from PSTN services"
and "VOIP to/from PSTN services" listings. Whew! That took
awhile.

Now I'm thinking about doing my own gateway through GSM. At
least I can get GSM service here. (See my other post.)
