No, but with Land Lines you do. I'm not asking whether I break even, I ask where customers are seeing the biuggest savings from their old providers.
If the average customer used to pay $100/month for long distance, and they now pay $25/month for VOIP, its easy to justify VOIP with a $75/month savings... If the average customer used to pay $38 /month fixed for land line local calls, and now pay $25/month VOIP, its not as easilly justified. So I'm really asking, what percentage of call minutes dial out to an area code that is different than the caller's area code? I'm asking because many businesses use a combination of land lines and VOIP, one carrier for long distance, one for inbound (no charge per minute for inbound), and another for outbound local. It would be helpful to have some stats on how much a company could save on each of the above service types, so marketing could be targeted accordingly. In some cases customers dont save when they pay per minute, but they gain value add.

The cost for that is roughly $500 plus maintenance. That's a LOT of minutes to break even.

What average percent of the revenue or call time is for would be Nationwide Long Distance versus would be local calls? Obviously I recognize with some VOIP solutions long distance and local calls are treated the same, But I'm trying to determine what percentage of customers are buying VOIP because it saves them money on Long distance versus on their local call fixed monthly telco service compared to their old service.) . 2. What percent of the Subscribers are buying the VOIP for their primary phone to replace their Land Line, versus a second line? (Obviously, most subscribers would also have a cell phone provider, so not including that).

Currently (without taking into consideration the initial server/software cost) we are making about 3.5 x Cost per account. We've been adding 3-5 a week, and as more people learn about us offering it the faster it's selling. My cost per account is roughly $6.25, and we're selling it for $17-45 per line.
