Sure.

Right.

Wrong.
Proxy registration just makes you look sleazy. Voxbone does just dandy
as a VoIP wholesaler without proxy registration. What do they know that
you don't?
Some proxy registration is just stupid, e.g., there's proxy
registration for betamax.com, but not for their brands such as
voipdiscount.com, phonefreecalls.com, internetcalls.com, and
nowcall.com.
