International (Australia, UK, Venezuela, India) origination in very low volume

The sales and marketing folks in one of our sister companies strongly desire to have local contact numbers in a variety of countries. Australia, UK, Venezuela, and India come up a lot. We're talking origination only, one number per country, very low call volumes. While they do a lot of business outside of the U.S., I'll freely admit that my experience with SIP carriers outside of the U.S. is exactly zero. Any suggestions on where to start my research? Most solutions I can find don't really seem to scale down to a single TN per country very well. If you want to sell me the perfect solution, I'd suggest private e-mail rather than replying to the list. Thanks. -- Jon Radel Sr. Director of Engineering VANTAGE COMMUNICATIONS North American Sales Office I-95 Princeton Corporate Center 370 Scotch Road Ewing, New Jersey 08628 T 609-359-7430 F none

Colin, When last I checked, Voxbone require USD$500/mo or more. I was a happy Voxbone customer for about 3 years, starting when their minimum was $100/mo and ending when they began enforcing the new $500/mo minimum. FWIW, getting Voxbone to stop auto-billing my credit card after I closed my Voxbone account was unreasonably difficult, and from what I've heard I'm not the only one. It's too bad, as I was truly hoping and prepared to part on good terms. Jon, Canada-based VOIP.ms resell Voxbone international DIDs while imposing very low (no?) volume requirements, from what I can tell. I've been very happy with VOIP.ms (~$50/mo usage, end-users in several locations in California) for several months now. My chief complaint is that they don't appear to have an auto-billing function, so I have to go through the manual prepayment process every time my balance gets low. Also, their customer support was not very responsive when it came to answering an unusual question - it took days and days of me gently nagging before they finally gave an answer. That said, everything truly important - call quality, pricing, functionality - has been great, and at this rate I expect to remain a customer for a long time to come.
From what I can tell, VOIP.ms can provide you with DIDs in Australia and the UK, but not in Venezuela or India. But I don't speak for them, so you should investigate for yourself.
good luck, Graham On 13 Oct 10, at 14:28 , Colin wrote: Or if you meet their minimums voxbone.com<http://voxbone.com/> works well too Sent from my iPhone.
