Hello again. Sorry to post two threads at one time.
I justed wanted to start another carrier thread with focus to price and quality, cause we had some trouble with some carriers in the past. Maybe we could share our experience here...
I would be interested in carriers besides betamax (voicetrading, siptraffic, voippro, myvoiptraffic) which are competitive with them in quality and price.
I would like to put some small restrictions for the list:
*just wholesale carriers with the possibility to resale
*just A-Z termination (no minute traders for special destinations)
We already had contact with the following carriers:
siptraffic (well known, betamax) :
- quality is good for gold route. we had bad experience with grey and silver routes. i guess there are some destinations with proper quality even in grey or silver, but who has the time to check every destination every week for its quality..., so we just use gold for now.
- rates are quite low, even for gold route.
- purchasing is easy via bank transfer or credit card (even ukash and western union). 200EUR minimum
voicetrading (also betamax) :
- quality is the same as siptraffic (same routes). also just the premium route is really stable.
- rates are a bit lower then siptraffic with some exceptions
- purchasing is easy via bank transfer or credit card (even ukash and western union). 500EUR minimum
ing-telecom :
- unfortunately bad quality. a lot of connections are without termination. we were using them for 4 weeks and we had a lot of trouble with our callbacks in hungary, nepal and dominican republic. we removed them.
- prices are fair. some destinations are cheaper then siptraffic/voicetrading (but with low quality as i mentioned above.
- you can purchase via paypal only. 100EUR minimum
NextVoipSolutions (dead!!):
- there were are good alternative to betamax. good rates.
- Unfortunately they quit. I cannot reach their website anymore and also the sipserver is down without notice!
terrasip :
- the quality isn't that good. we never used them in production. i just tested them and wasn't satisfied.
- rates are good, but not as cheap as voicetrading / siptraffic. we have some DID's from them...
- you can pay with paypal (i think other payment methods are available).
dus.net (german carrier):
- very good quality. good for business use.
- rates are fair, but not interesting for reselling
- Postpaid
fractel :
- no experience in using it
- rates are too high for us!
magrathea :
- no experience in using it
- rates are too high for us!
I hope you can share something too! I really would appreciate!
Maybe anyone has experience with:
- voippro (also betamax, but rates are a bit cheaper then voicetrading)
- myvoiptraffic (also betamax, just one quality route. Does anyone know about their quality??)
