I am a wisp and want to deploy VoIP phones. Where is the best place to buy these and also 95n.nnn.nnn numbers? I am located in Spain. Any help would be very much appreciated. I am working with Smartbridges products mostly.

Usually the supplier of either your wireless equipment or backend voice systems can suggest the end points that are most reliable. Here at Meru, we work with and certify many SIP handsets against our equipment to insure interoperability. Companies like Cisco and Avaya sell wireless 802.11 clients that go with their PBX systems. And almost every large company will work with European companies without a problem (even consumer brands like D-Link, etc…).

Basically, the answer lies in how you are architecting your VoIP service – the PBX or WLAN vendor should have a solution to suit your needs.
