Hello,

We have a customer which need to forward some of their incoming calls to a US +1 877 xxxxxx number. Problem is that the caller hear a speak that says they will be charged for international calling. As far as I can see, the solution is to buy access to a sip trunk in US so the calls will be local/national. Any recommendations? Price always matter, but it is far more important that it works (no shit), easy to manage and easy to pay for (pref. visa). And yes we are in a hurry.

The volume is rather low - 20 calls a day or so.

/Ole

I dont think ive dialed toll-free through binfone but they are a very easy, quick to setup, metered termination service. I use them for my international dialing and canada termination.

LONG DISTANCE CALL DISTRIBUTION. Long distance calling will observe the 80/20 rule, with at least 80% RBOC termination. Calling will not be disproportional to rural areas; the mix of rural to urban will be roughly proportional to U.S. population generally or will be skewed in favor of urbanized areas. Toll free calling (calls to domestic "toll free" numbers) will not exceed 5% of a customer's termination.

I believe that is part of their other services. Generally speaking you get paid whenever you call a toll free number if youre a carrier.

this part is making me think the most because that is the kind of calling we would use them for... the rural areas
