With my SIP VOIP provider, it's $1 per month for a local telephone
number (with $10 setup fee), and it can also provide international
numbers at a reasonable monthly fee. It uses the G711 codec, so the
final quality is good enough for a radio show. Since it obviously work
for people with SIP phones, maybe better codecs can be used. So I
also believe that VOIP is a viable option for a pro situation, and I
would prefer to use the Linphone software because of its command line
client (which useful for automation and integration), and there's
probably other free options.
