[asterisk-biz] Asterisk Server + Origination & Termination

[Benoy Jose]

www.twilio.com , www.tropo.com do pretty much the same thing.

Both of them seem to be cheaper than cloudvox. What I dont understand is the
ridiculous price for SMS on all three platforms 2-3c a message. Even the
monster cell phone networks like AT & T and verizon are cheaper.
