Rajiv, Generally, the providers I use charge a small monthly fee (between 6 and 25 cents) per month for each local US phone number, and a bit more for international. Domestic US calls are about 3 cents per hundred inbound minutes, 40 cents per hundred outbound minutes. Toll-free outbound (on Bulkvs) are credited back to you at a rate of 20 cents per hundred minutes. No monthly minimums, so small systems are okay, but you're mostly on your own when it comes to interconnection and troubleshooting.

Hi Cody. I am located in the US. Do I understand, from your last question, that your VOIP does not function like Vonage with amenities such as a flat fee? Thank you .

Do you want a phone number for people to call you, and if so, where? How important is support? How many minutes per month do you plan to use?

Hi Bill. Since this is a little over my head, I am wondering who is your Residencial VOIP provider? Thank you. Rajiv
