You need to colo with them, setup a VPN and route calls over SIP. Its primarily geared for heavy aggregator customers and premium routes are not extended on it as yet. <br><br>If you don't have a business volume exceeding a couple of $000k, it might be slightly difficult to sign up since they have large security deposits and in some cases it may take many months to establish credit and other facilities.
<br><br>SipA2z offer low markups on top of Verizon and BT as well. They expect to add France Telecom and Colt end of next month. This is for wholesale customers. <br><br>Please contact <a href="mailto:sales@sipa2z.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

He says yes you need VPN but only for signaling as RTP doesn't travel over it. Colo wasn't a requirement but even so shouldn't be a problem as we can obtain colo easily in one of their POPs. The only minimum that was mentioned was $500/month and they were happy to wave that.
<br><br>Unfortunately the only sales person he had contact for moved to a different department *sigh*<br><br>There are some obvious benefits for being able to partner with someone like verizon especially when they can do inbound termination for local DIDs in a market we are trying to enter.
