[Asterisk-biz] A-Z termination and _accurate, complete_ rating needed

[Kevin P. Fleming]

Like everyone else this past week, I too am looking for reliable vendors
of international termination (we have USA/Canada covered adequately). I
don't mind if you contact me on the list or off, it's your call :-)

What I'm looking for:

- SIP termination
- quality TDM and quality IP connectivity
- reliable connections (I don't need your SIP server to accept my INVITE
and then go off into never-never land while my user wonders what the
heck is happening)
- accurate and complete (as possible) rate tables, published in some
usable form (CSV, XLS, etc) and automatic notification if you change rates
- I'm willing to prepay if needed, since our volume is low

I have looked at LiveVoip, VOIPJet, Gafachi and others, but am still
looking around. I'm a bit concerned by what I see out there: there's a
great deal of inconsistency in rates for things that should be pretty
consistent. For example, LiveVoip's rate tables show +443, +444 and +445
as "UK National" at less than 3c per minute, but everyone else shows
these as UK Premium numbers at 15-25c per minute (and yes, I did ask
them about it, and they claim their rate tables are correct). What I
don't need is a nasty surprise when the carrier finds out their tables
were wrong and I suddenly start getting charged ten times as much for
calls :-(
