I ported our land line to Callcentric a few years ago. At the time they were one of the few carriers that could accept the port from our exchange.
Does voip.ms offer other plans than they show on their website? I can only find that the DID flat rate is $4.95 to $5.95 and outbound is either $0.0052 or $0.0125/min.
