Re: [Other] Callcentric vs Voip.ms - Have you tried both?
Well, then even if Callcentric per minute rate is higher, if calls between clients are free - that's a big +. | |

How to make “free call between members of your circle”
1. Make all you’re your members to register with any engine supporting ENUM e164.org and such: Voxalot, PBXes, some providers
2. In e164.org create entries for each member, prefixed by some weird number – so outsiders won’t be able to take advantage of your “free unlimited calling”
3. In every member’s dialing plan make a rule: prefix dialed number with the aforementioned prefix, and test against ENUM
4. if positive you’ll be connected free, with SIP URI call
5. if negative go to your regular VoIP provider to make a paid call
As simple as that. | |

Of course CallCentric like most other providers offers free calling between SIP addresses, regardless of who the providers are.
But in addition, they are sponsors of SipBroker and they host many of the access numbers.
For CallCentric members, you get assigned a ten digit number starting with 777. That's basically like the account number, BUT you can use that number to call any other CallCentric member's 777 number, at no charge. Is the end result any different from using an ENUM engine and such? No. But it's another pathway, and it may just be easier.
Keep in mind, CallCentric offers the IP Freedom plan at no charge. Yes, others have something similar. But with this plan, you get good quality, no hassles, free direct SIP calling, free SipBroker peering, easy free calls to other CallCentric members using the 777 numbers, free voicemail.
Is CallCentric perfect? No. Nobody's perfect except that Olympic swimmer guy. But this afternoon I noticed a billing error, I e-mailed them, and they fixed it in a couple of minutes.
And again, CallCentric IP Freedom costs zero. So it should please everyone.
There are some VoIP providers that have lots of problems. We all know who they are.
But CallCentric and Voip.ms are both pretty darn good!!
