More on the Asterisk front:
I got 919 area code from Voicepulse and sucessfully registered my 
Asterisk server to Voicepluse.
Did simple dial plan to put calls from my Voicepulse number into 
voicemail menu.
Next step is to add "call my cellphone" option to voicepulse dialplan.

I bought a 919 area code so that I could make a local call when testing 
my Asterisk/Voicpulse configuration.
I would be willing to share account info with anyone wanting to do their 
own test with Asterisk/Voicpulse.
