A very reliable provider I use for my USA DID number is gizmoproject (gizmo5.com). They offer USD$35 (annual fee) for a USA number of your choice. I think their service is reliable enough to put my DID number in my business card while at the same time having a reasonable price.

Of course I did some looking around before purchasing a number and found that they have the cheapest rate. Try it out.

If you setup your ATA right, it is possible to use IPKall in conjunction with somehting liek dyndns.org to point the DID directly to your ATA, completely bypassing the ISP you've configured on it. I think HWittenB wrote a detaield How To for it search thru his posts.

Currently, I have InPhonex and voip.ms DID's that ring to my PAP2T-NA.
In the past I have had Les.net and CallCentric DID's configured.

For a while I was testing Voxalot to receive my incoming calls through CallCentric DID's. Best I recall, it worked fine.

I also have GrandCentral numbers that forward to my DID's for pickup on my PAP2T.

My DID's are for Canada through all the above VSP's. It's just a matter of personal choice as to which you prefer to use.

i tried IPKaLL...
Linking a free IPKall number to a VoXaLot account (so that dialing the IPKall DID will ring the adapter registered with your VoXaLot account) is free and easy to do. In fact, I did just that this weekend as part of setting up a VoIP phone for a relative away at college.

All you need to do, is go to http://ipkall.com and create (and "verify", using the email that IPKall will send to your listed email address) an IPKall number/account with the following IPKall settings:

Account type: Choose the "SIP" option

SIP Phone Number: Fill this in with *010 followed by your 6-digit VoXaLot number. For example, if your VoXalot number was 123456, then you would put *010123456 in this field.

SIP Proxy: us.voxalot.com
{i.e. just put the string "us.voxalot.com" in for this field
NOTE: sipbroker.com, my previous suggestion, also works but us.voxalot.com is a slightly more direct route from IPKall to VoXaLot}

Email Address: Put in a valid EMAIL address that reaches you. NOTE: Only one IPKall number per email address. So if you want/need more than one number, you will have to use different email addresses on each IPKall account/number.

Password: Whatever password you want to use to log into your IPKall account. NOTE: I think this may be limited to just 4 digits, so if your chosen password doesn't work, try again with a 4 digit password.

Seconds to Ring before Hang Up: 120
{i.e. leaving this at the default 2 minute ring seems to work well.}

And that is all that is needed. When I did this for my relative, I had the new number working within minutes, and yes I verified it (by calling the number from my cell phone) and it did in fact ring through to her VoXaLot account (and from there to the VoIP adapter I had registered with her VoXaLot account, giving that adapter full inbound calling using that IPKall number FOR FREE).

NOTE: Most of the time IPKall activates numbers fairly quickly. But there have been some rare occasions where it takes a day or two before the newly signed up number becomes active.

BTW: Don't forget that IPKall will drop numbers that are unused for more than a month. So if you don't have a lot of people calling you at that number, be sure to call that number yourself (and wait for the call to be answered) every 3 weeks or so. Otherwise, you may find that when you want the number, it has disappeared for "non-use".
