Sipserve doesn't use the same PRI's, they have their own, provided by
callplus (afaik).
The standard italk prefix of 974 is assigned to callplus in all area codes
except 06, where it is taken by TelstraClear.
iTalk told everyone in September that it would be ready in 2 or 3 months,
yet people are still sending typical "where the hell is it" emails/forum
posts, and also have the nerve to go "oh btw, we want to pay less."
People are assholes.

Hi,
Many of you (over 30 people) were interested in a response to my VoIP
DDI's question to the NZNog. I should have responded earlier but I was
hoping more providers would email me back, plus I've been on holiday the
last week (wahoo!).
Well unfortunately I only had 2, unless I missed any, but it would seem
italk.co.nz and sipserve.co.nz are the only 2 providers and with number
ranges in 09 & 04.
Italk - well they not yet selling 04 numbers from what I understand, they
working on the billing platform still. I'm currently using their 09
service and it's great, call quality is perfect, fax over IP works, prices
aren't bad.
Sipserve - these guys say they doing 04, however I know someone that
emailed them a week ago to get some and they still haven't + their support
is a bit slow and their system doesn't support fax over IP.
One other thing to think about is sipserve don't offer free Auckland
dialing, this costs 0.05c p/m I believe, plus their DDI ranges are
delivered over the same PRI's as the slingshot italk service.
Well that's it, if anyone has any further details, please advise.
Thanks
Kindest Regards
Barry Murphy
