I'm really liking Flowroute right now and have switched most of my did's to them. As with many of the providers lately, they are pre- pay... but the site is nice and payments move quickly. What I really like about Flowroute is the no-minimum, diversity of plans, cost, and unlimited channel support. For example, on a line I have that's residential, I use their 6.95 unlimited incoming 2 channel plan... on some business lines where I might need channel flexibility, I use unlimited channel 1.2cents/min incoming. Outbound is around less than 1c/m for USA and pretty decent prices throughout.
I had been using Voicepulse, but suffered more downtime last year than I hoped and found that support was a little hard to get a hold of when issues occur.
