        I love it. Almost half way through the month and our VoIP cost (already including the monthly rate for DIDs, Vultr, voip.ms fax) is about $96. Methinks we won't be hitting $755 by the end of the month. 😄

        cant remember, what did you project it would be?

        Projection (high side) was about $350 / month.

        You should run a query every once in a while on your termination to see how many times you are charged outside of tier 1 pricing.

        Twilio is .007 but sometimes you will see .014 or higher. Not sure what area you are in. This is when it makes sense to compare Telnyx for outgoing.

        Never port in to Telnyx, they charge you $7 or more per number to port out.

          Can't believe no one has recommended Ulingo, SMH. Or what about NTG?

          With all the vendors shit posting their wares I can easily see my $1000+ a month going anywhere but SW and actually yielding some sales.

            Yeah. As I said a day or so ago, the vultures have landed.

              Yes, it's a shit post fest all the time, and I know that at least I am conditioned to leave any thread that has a GG posting on it, it's instant thread death. I don't even read what is there. I see the email notification that a GG has responded and I just delete the email and move on. The whole system is useless to me. I'm only interested in threads where they remain technical.

                  GG, or Green Guy, means a poster that is assigned to spam threads with marketing crap. Anything from a GG is useless. If you mute them all, the site gets way better. They are so called as their accounts are market in green to distinguish them from valuable posters.

                    GreenGuy or GreenGal. Basically a companies pays Spiceworks to have their company reps names appear green. When you see one of those show up, you know it's now all marketing and any technical discussion gets purposely sidetracked (at best) immediately. Even better (being sarcastic), are the Spiceworks employees vendors pay to post of their behalf. Lenovo is notorious for this.

                            Crazy that I was even thinking of doing this. I only get on SW once in a blue moon. Maybe I should open a tab and watch more.

                            And that is specifically the privilege they are paying for? To be blocked and hidden, and to spam a post with all the other big telecom vendors (in this case)

                            Maybe I'll start a re:scam account and just bait vendors...

                              Blanket statements are asinine of you.

                              There are more quite cool GG on there just doing what they do because it is their assigned job duty.

                              Chris from Microsoft

                              I can name a few more. but you get the idea.

                                    He doesn't even KNOW his requirements yet. He's speaking to the business tomorrow to get his first bit of requirements!

                                        And then "I gotta talk to my IT guy"

                                          The guy kind of asked for it.

                                          "What is the best Cloud PBX"

                                          And then "I gotta talk to my IT guy"

                                          Just a bit, prompting something like this...

                                            At the moment I'm reading ML and waiting for ships to build in X Rebirth.

                                            Only game I ever pre ordered on Steam. Is it fixed now?
