      So where does this stand?

      I get that at least they are better than many vendors out there - those that don't provide any online pricing at all... but how much better are they really? They still require at minimum a conversation, though likely more like a conversation or 3, plus copies of the current bills from a customer of ours we would consider moving to them?

        @scottalanmiller This thread needs tags.

        It has a lot, though. Which ones do you want added?

                They do, they have public pricing for consumers. It's low, but not the lowest.

                If you call them, though, you will get far better pricing that isn't public. And they have complex reasons as to why they want it to have to be that way.

                And yes, the prices are REALLY LOW.

                  Copies of bills is what they state publicly will be needed. If you are a reseller, or an MSP, or a real IT pro capable of explaining your situation, they don't need bills.

                        WAY lower.

                          Not even in the ballpark, though.

                            Twilio is lower than VoIP.ms.

                            And the rates stated before are lower than Twilio, supposedly.

                            But SIP trunking is already a real low margin game.

                            Someone coming in significantly lower than existing known pricing makes me very skeptical.

                              I'm still not happy with company and their methods. They obviously converted @scottalanmiller by paying him off (advertising here).

                                They started advertising here after we had already gotten pricing and started to move over to them. They had reached out to talk after I had long conversations with @FATeknollogee and @markjcrane about them and why I should give them a chance.

                                  Twilio is lower than VoIP.ms.

                                  Not according to the published prices. They are both .0085 to receive, but voip.ms is .01 to send and Twilio is .013.

                                  I'm sure you can get lower with Twilio, but it looks like you have to go to unpublished prices to do it.

                                      Sorry, .09, not .085 for voip.ms, but Twilio is only "starting" at .085. Twilio lists their lowest rate, voip.ms lists their flat rate. voip.ms is cheaper for sending and DIDs, Twilio starts cheaper for receiving, but is variable.

                                        @scottalanmiller Can you not be bothered to remember things that you yourself have raved about prior to the current shiny thing?

                                        Programmable Voice is not SIP trunking.

                                        Elastic SIP Trunking would be the correct product.

                                          I've never used those numbers before. Those are quite a bit better. We use PV mostly, so those are what we see most of the time. Didn't realize that they were different.
