Question for those doing VoIP, how are you processing your billing for
international calling monthly?
Extract the CDR for the customer's SIP registration for days 1-31 of the
month, and give it to a third party billing service? Using the rate deck
you get from your outgoing SIP trunk provider, but increasing each
number by 1/3? For example, say I pay $0.10/minute for calling to +92
(Pakistan), so I set my rate for customer billing at 13 or 14 cents a
minute.
Say for example you have a ton of customers who do 99% of their calling
inside country code 1 (US/Canada, not the Caribbean nations which are
also in +1). Your outgoing SIP trunk with a provider such as didlogic
costs $0.0069 per minute for US calls.
You're paying $0.85 per month per DID in your NPA-NXX. All is happy.

That's very impressive revenue. We get $20 and some competitors
charge $15, and I had not even thought of charging for inside wiring
maintenance. We usually try hard to convince people to just plug a
DECT phone base into the ATA. But inside wire maintenance is a big
cash cow for the phone companies, kind of like extended warranties at
Best Buy.

Brett,
Depends on where you are selling, we have almost a 50% take rate of our
phone system. That comes out to about 800 residential lines we are
selling at $29.95. BTW - almost 50% of those lines are also
purchasing inside wiring maintenance at $8.95/month.
