Sorry Tom,
We're used to being billed per minute. With calling cards, we're often
also charged a flat connect fee. VoIP termination (and probably any
high-volume voice service) charges based on various minimums and
increments. Most often, I see the charges in this format:
minimum charge/increment
so, 6/6 is a minimum of a six second charge. And the call is billed
incrementally every six seconds. So, when you realize that you're
getting a message machine, hang up. You'll only be charged $0.0013 if
your per minute rate is $0.013
Domestic termination is usually a fraction of a minute. Foreign
termination might be higher (e.g. 60/30)

I assume those numbers don't require a commitment on minute volume.
If so, those are seemingly strong offerings. However, I would assume
this is over the internet termination, which we find unacceptable for
several reasons not the least of which is QoS. Additionally, I have
found many of these providers have no ability to deal with fax
traffic. Then of course you get into the problem of LNP, CNAM, and E911.

checked the lowest prices in a few months; so my interest was piqued.
Here's what I found. If anyone has any experience with these
providers, let me know. Both provide IAX2 and SIP.

Product Monthly Cost Setup Cost Usage Cost
Local DID $1.00 $1.00 $0.011 per minute
Toll-Free DID $1.00 $2.00 $0.020 per minute US 48*
LNP available
DIDs were local to many rural GA areas (where I am)

6/6 billing
Currently, I use voipjet.com and voxee.com with much success.
Domestic rates are $0.013 and $0.011 per minute, respectively. I
think they both bill 6/6.
