[asterisk-biz] Wanted: US unlimited

[Jonathan k. Creasy]

I get unlimited lines from NetLogic but I can't disclose my price.
According to our bills they implement unlimited LD by giving us 3MM
minutes a month. This bill states that we used X/3,000,000

one thing to note is that even with those carriers unlimited doesnt
really mean unlimited.  If you read the fine print for both broadvoice
and vonage (their user agreement) it states that its for 'normal call
volumes' as *they* define them (meaning normal for them may not even be
the normal of the industry as a whole). 

I do not know of any 'unlimited' provider that is truely
'unlimited' (although I have a few that may be I havent tried to see if
it really is), they all seem to bury something somewhere that lets them
cap the service.  This is for good reason, in an unlimited setting
someone could very easly use it for telemarketing or something else that
is generating a very high call volume or stay connected 24/7 for other
reasons, and generally this costs the provider money, not just for
minutes used but also for the TDM circuits, etc.  They have to be
getting compensated for that service somehow, and $25/mo typically wont
cover their costs.
