      Is paying for call paths still a thing? I'm pretty sure VOIP.ms doesn't charge for call paths. They do have a default limit, but you just email them and they up it.

      There are certainly instances where they make sense.

      Perhaps in a call center where the utilization is high enough to get over the per min charge - of course - it's always a math game.

        There are also benefits to post-paid services in reduction of overhead. Less to know, fixed opex, etc.

        It is never about just the lowest cost per minute.

        If it was, your office would have switched.

          I found that what was offered by Jive wasn't worth the cost for the business for whom I worked. I went with FreePBX hosted in Vultr.

          Thanks for your response Eddie. How many handsets do you have connected to your FreePBX?

            I have systems ranging from 6 phones to 800.

              I'm working for a different company now, but when I left, I think we had about 25.

                      It is still a thing, but lots of vendors don't use that process as it generally makes sense for no one. But lots of customers demand that process and will pay through the nose for it, so loads of vendors make it an option.

                        This might help you. I think I say "math" once or twenty times...

                            It's 30+ now (NTG runs that system now), but with hundreds of extensions set up. Like 400. Mostly just for voicemail, though. Most don't have phones on them.

                              Oh wow. Thanks for the video. Great presentation at Spiceworld. My wife is a 6th grade math teacher, may need her help with this excel spreadsheet.
