Hello everyone,<div><br></div><div><div>I've been recently reviewing several DID providers, and looking for some feedback.</div><div><br></div><div>I appreciate this isn't totally on topic for FreeSWITCH, but over the last few months I've found the community feedback to be invaluable - so I'm hoping it might open up a good discussion.</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>I would be really interested to hear other peoples experiences with their DID providers, as much detail as possible.</div></div><div><br></div><div><div>There are several providers we've looked at, but they are either reselling others services, or do not deliver the service quality we are looking for.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>The criteria I've been looking for is;</div><div><br></div><div>* Able to provide either US or UK numbers</div><div>* Exposes an API that allows control of purchasing and routing</div><div>* Guarantees premium call quality, good latency, and inbound CLI.</div>
<div>* Does NOT operate on a market/exchange basis</div><div>* Trading as a telecoms provider for more than 5 years</div><div>* Has a reputable name within the community or industry</div><div><br></div><div>So far, I have only found the following providers that meet this criteria;</div>
<div><br></div><div>* Hello Telecom - UK numbers only, ITSPA registered, no charges for minutes, rental or concurrent channels. No minimum charges. Excellent call quality/latency, no CLI problems, and almost no downtime in the last 6 months. However, they do not offer a sane purchasing API which makes automation difficult, and interop with FS has been somewhat painful.</div>
<div><br></div><div>* Simwood - UK numbers only, ITSPA registered. Slightly more expensive but still very fair. Currently at inter-op stage, so can't comment further - but they seem very good so far.</div><div><br></div>
<div>* Voxbone - Most numbers, ITSPA registered. Extremely high minimum spend, difficult to justify unless you already have existing traffic. </div><div><br></div><div><div>* BT - UK numbers only (I think), ITSPA registered (of course lol).. Over 9000 pages of inter-op and around £10k in set up fees.</div>
</div></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance</div><div><br></div><div>Cal</div>
