Steve,
Are you looking for local dial tone on the PRI? If so, you'll be buying 23
business circuits. If not, then you will have a connection to a long
distance carrier (IXC) and that should be bunches cheaper.

I'm looking for some feedback from everyone that replied interested in
sharing PRI/T1 capacity.
I'm getting quotes of around $500-$700/month for PRI - This strikes me as
high after people mentioned around $200/month for T1s. Nobody seems to be
getting quotes of $200/month though to me <argh>.
Long distance also isn't striking me as any cheaper on these PRIs than

lines that we have today. Am I just getting quotes from the wrong places?
Does this pricing sound about right to everyone else?
I can get 800 # cheaper with some commit on usage on a separate circuit.
I'm not sure if this is useful or not to everyone - I imagine some people

is.
If we have to commit to $1000/month then we'll need more than one or two
people to commit to this (unless 1 or 2 need 8+ lines each).
For those of your international we can terminate the calls to the US via
Asterisk.
