Nonetheless, I am using Diamondcard quite successfully with my Asterisk server for outbound calls. They give the ability to control things like outbound Caller ID and the like, which is absolutely awesome—it gives me the ability to base the outbound caller ID on who is actually making the call, since we all have different DID numbers. They are rather quick to respond to requests for technical support, as well. That, plus the ability to control the outbound caller ID, does make it worth the 1.71¢/min. rate for me. I just expected to find US call termination services to be about half that price, for some reason. (Maybe it's because I am spoiled on talk-as-much-as-you-want services.)
