Does anyone know if Comcast charges for DiD numbers? How much per month?
Everyone charges for DID. There is no way not to, they have to pay to lease it. They might bury it in some other charge and not as a line item, but there is always a charge for every single DID.
Agreed. Let me re-state:
Did number fees are not itemized on the Comcast Business monthly bill. Does anyone know what they charge? I can't even find it advertised anywhere with their phone plans, you know, the ones that allow you to have up to 10 did per line. They just won't say how much..... -

well I don't know because that is a weird arbitrary thing to have 10 DID per line.

Then you have no way to know what portion of the fee is the DID.

I pay $0.25/m for DIDs with Skyetel, They were $0.85/m with VOIP.ms With Cox it was like $25/m for 25.

In CT USA from Comcast Business, we had paid approx. $500/mo for a PRI Trunk, 20 DID's "free", and another 20 DIDs at $5/month (total). This was as recently as this spring, plus $10/mo per Toll-Free line.

Holy hell they are expensive. Why would anyone buy that?

that's definitely NOT expensive "for what it is"
Now - depending on how many of those trunks he really uses, and how many mins are actually in use - he might be way over paying compared to what he 'could' pay for a different type of service altogether.

Yes, it is. It's a fraction of the value of a non-PRI at many times the price. "What it is" makes its value SO much lower.

Right, he could pay less for more. That's the point. It's both that the price is SO high, and the service is SO low. Not just because it's ancient tech, but also because it's from a vendor that is so bad at reliable service.

That's consumer? Or for a business?

interesting - Skyetel specifically prohibits the use of it's platform for :
Using the Services to receive, send or otherwise process Protected Health Information as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, unless you have signed a Business Associate Agreement with Skyetel or your use of the Services fits within an exception for requiring a Business Associate Agreement.

i'm waiting on a contact now to inquire about getting a BAA, specifically for use with HTTPS Faxing.
