[asterisk-biz] DNIS vs LRN billing & DNIS Verizon Route Available

[dnis at siptrunks.org]

Recently we have found several carriers switching from DNIS based  
billing to LRN billing. The move from DNIS-based billing to LRN-based  
billing creates multiple issues for the SIP provider, but there are a  
couple that we encounter most frequently.

The first issue is that many SIP providers don?t have a billing system  
that is either capable of or has been provisioned for LRN-based  
billing. Billing is demanding enough on a day to day basis and most  
SIP providers don?t need the added burden of either transforming or  
upgrading a billing system from DNIS-based billing to LRN-based billing.

The second issue is the underlying cost for services on routes that  
bill based on LRN vs routes that bill based on DNIS digits. LRN-based  
billing will typically increase a SIP provider?s per minute cost  
between 15 to 25%. If a SIP provider can?t bill their end user  
accordingly, profit margins either become squeezed, or they aren?t  
there at all.

are fortunate enough to be able to offer a Verizon direct SIP route  
that bills based on DNIS digits and not LRN. The rates are extremely  
competitive, and when the 15 ? 25% cost savings for DNIS-based billing  
is factored in, it becomes extremely compelling. We are also able to  
offer SIP providers LRN based billing for their customers while we  
bill our route based on this DNIS.

We have had this route in service for a little over a year now, and  
the performance is what is expected of a direct Verizon route and  
customer satisfaction remains very high.
