DEAL Flowroute DID price discount

[Aaron Outhier]

Flowroute.com has a new price for US numbers, as follows:
New number setup fee: $0.00
Number port-in fee: $0.00
Monthly maintenance fee: $0.50
Per minute fee - inbound: $0.005
Per minute fee - to lower 48 states: $0.00833

I have purchased 3 numbers now at this rate, and they show up as "US Promo". As such, this may be a limited time offer, although I can't find an expiration date for these rates on their site. Flowroute also offers toll-free numbers,

Keep in mind - the 2 built-in Flowroute entries in IncrediblePBX are outdated - the LA and LV POPs are no longer in operation. You'll want to whitelist you're preferred POP for at least SIP UDP from the command line with add-fqdn . See instructions on nerdvittles for more details, or of course, ask questions on these forums if you can't figure it out.

If you are interested in better pricing take a look at BulkVS. Their standard pricing for USA-48 Tier-0 DIDs is $0.06/mo, they charge $0.0003/mn for incoming and $0.004/mn for outgoing calls (outgoing domestic only). They have no setup fees for new DIDs or LNP. They charge $0.004/message for incoming and outgoing texts. Their E911 fee is $0.49/mo.

Wow! That's not bad. I may just port out 2 of my numbers then...
My main number need to stay with Flowroute, as it is the only provider that my PSA/RMM software works with for handling SMS. I am considering cancelling my last number, as I don't ue it.

I have numbers with BulkVS, FlowRoute and SignalWire. Of the 3, Flowroute is still the best (and I'm paying the higher rate with my legacy phone numbers). SignalWire has been far and away the worst - it goes offline, doesn't complete calls, etc.

Most of my DIDs are with Flowroute and the problems with SignalWire are all outbound (I don't have a DID with them).

TelecomsXChange is still my best bet for lower48 termination: I'm paying $0.000938 per minute. With a 13% premium (for an account via @wardmundy), that is still $0.00105994 per minute. That's from vendor TollFreeDollars, and it is a quality CLI route. Smokes any retailer. For Canada, it's even less via Iristel. I love BulkVS, btw. NexMO DIDs from TelecomsXchange are $0.97 and incur no per-minute charges.

How will that work out with STIR/SHAKEN coming online soon?
