configuring asterisk:cheap phone?

[Alex Snow]

Most VOIP providers offer 1-800 numbers I think...check out teliax if 
you want something native-IAX2.  I'm not sure on their prices though.  
For being able to dial out from the number, check out the Disa (direct 
inward system access) application that comes with asterisk.  This allows 
you to enter an auth code and get a PBX dialtone that you can dial out 
on.

I might be able to borrow my grandma's phone, and I was thinking that I could just purchase a cheap 1800 number and do what I'm trying to set up.
