FYI, on the new Teliax site local calls are only 1c/min. Regarding the $4.99/mth per DID...I still have a pots line at my house, costs me $43/mth (callerID and call waiting are additional *paid* features). Maybe if I needed 100 DID's from Teliax then $4.99/mth would be a lot... then again if I had 100 employee's maybe $500/mth wouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, five bucks a month and 2c/min doesn't seem like a lot for a full featured, centrex style, unlimited line phone number. Especially if the support, quality and reliability are there. I guess it all comes down to how you use it. Yeah, others may offer cheaper DID's with less features, less support and less reliability but how long will they stick around?

The only missing feature my other DID provider offers is a channel cap, but that's because they actually include large amounts of minutes. I don't need 43 simultaneous incoming calls. If I had my druthers, I'd have about 4, but for $5 a month flat rate, I'll deal with two. It's never been a problem.
When I first signed up for Teliax, they didn't even have CNAM for that price, but they do now, not that I really care. The number is all I really need.
Other providers that go the Teliax route of charging per minute on DIDs usually only charge $2 or $3 a month and 1c a minute, which seems more reasonable, given what they are paying for the DID.
Again, my problem with the pricing isn't the $4.99 a month in and of itself (after all, I'm happy to pay twice that for a number in Rio, although that is flat rate), it's the $4.99 a month combined with 2c a minute incoming. If they dropped it to 1c a minute, I'd be happier.
As far as their international rates are concerned, to most destinations they're out to lunch, but as I mentioned in the review, their reliability makes them a reasonable backup to another less established provider, even when they charge 20c more a minute to many destinations.
