good way to search for DID service?

Now that I have found a couple of good outgoing PSTN providers I want to get incoming service. I'd like to use a provider who will be able to port my old number (765-497, West Lafayette, IN) once I decide to drop my hard line.

The "consumer" services (Vonage, Packet8, Callvantage) appear to have rate centers here but their packages start at $20. They include lots of stuff I don't want including, I expect, some limitations on how I make outgoing calls. (Can I simultaneously call two PSTN lines upon getting an incoming call?)

I'd rather just find someone to provide basic incoming service but the providers I've found don't have rate centers here. It's not always easy to find these lists so maybe I'm missing some. Is there a compilation somewhere?

Thank you.

I haven't found anyone local to me either, but there is a group calling themselves IPKALL

There are others. I recommend this list.

Now I'm thinking about doing my own gateway through GSM. At least I can get GSM service here. (See my other post.)
