1. CallCentric - 2cents/minute for US and 3 or 3.5 cents/minute for India
2. Voip.ms - 1cent/minute for US and 3.5 cents/minute for India
3. CallWithUs - 1cent/minute for US and 2 cents/minute for India
Put together an estimate of how many out US/India minutes you need and we see what works best for you.
Great. this helps!
Assuming, we make about 1500 min in outgoing calls(within U.S) and 500 min in outgoing calls(to India and other countries)
CallCentric: $30 + 17.50 = $47.50
Voip.ms : $15 + 17.50 = $32.50
CallWithus : $15 + 10.00 = $25.00
ALLVOI : $0 + 24.99 = $24.99(~$32 w/taxes)
Ooma : $0 + $50(10 cents per min to India) = $50
Ooma : $0 + $10(International calling cards) = ~$10
My opinion on Ooma's survivability:
1. Ooma is probably making some $ by selling the hardware.
2. Ooma will make money from users making International Calls.
3. Ooma is making money from premium services currently.
4. Ooma may start to charge a monthly fee down the road. However, could be as low as $5? ( Remember, Verizon and AT&T
have retention monthly residential plans that begin at $5 - Just google it)
Note: Some of providers i mentioned (callwithus) will need you to be fairly familiar with setting up ATA. Also they do not offer 911 and cannot port in numbers. Read up reviews on this site
