In commercial subscriber and
interconnect billing systems LCR is often time sensitive. Billing is
at a different rate based on the time of day. For international rates it is quite common to find three tiers Day, Economy and Supersaver rates coupled with the fact that the first minute rate is more than the following minutes ( a kind of set-up charge) and there may be a three minute minimum. LCR choices can get rather complex. With VoIP, the costs of LD calls is falling towards zero and these billing models are rapidly becoming obsolete. Personally, and for my business I use one carrier for LD and another for International calls with fail-over reversing this. My advise is, alway always always go for quality when your reputation is at stake. A customer will not thank you for saving him $10 per month if even one of his calls are cut off or the quality is poor.

So what they suggest is that you look up the rate and if its less than some other providers blended rate you use them, if its not you use your blended rate provider. That way instead of paying $0.003-$0.015 or whatever you pay $0.003-$0.009 or whatever and can provide a cheaper service if you are reselling, cheaper costs for your business if you are an end user, or a much more complicated system than most home users want if you are a home user :) -- Henry L.Coleman [ VoIP-PBX ] Tel.1 866 415-5355 Ext.301 |
