Both of you misread what I said - I said Sipserve. Barry said Sipserve used the same PRI's as slingshot/italk/callplus, which, I apologize if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that that is not the case. And as I said, they said 2 or 3 months, so give them that at least :) Will -----Original Message----- From: chris(a)archnetnz.com [mailto:chris(a)archnetnz.com] Sent: Thursday, 27 October 2005 5:00 p.m. To: Will Steele Subject: Re: [nznog] Voip response Anyone want to tell him, or can I???? Callplus, own iTalk and slingshot.. so yes, they most likly do use the same ISDN's as iTalk... $9.95 a month is quite a good deal for an Auckland number, I would just like a Wellington number.. but who knows when that will be avilable...
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
