Service Cost

From VoIP.ms Wiki

Voip.ms is basically a worldwide termination (outgoing calls) and origination (incoming calls) provider. In VoIP.ms' system, the inbound and outbound calls are charged separately. The service can be used for outgoing calls only, it is not necessary for you to get a DID if you do not need to receive incoming calls.

VoIP.ms allows you to use one of your own Devices (hardware like a Linksys ATA or software like X-lite).

VoIP.ms is a prepaid service provider and you need to deposit a minimum of $25 in your account to be able to use the service. All of the charges will be deducted from that balance. Your account will not be able to receive or make calls once your balance reaches zero.

Signing up is free of charge. You can navigate around, check features, configure your device and dial Echo Test and DTMF Test numbers even without adding funds.

Route (Value/Premium) can be switched to premium by the customer in the Account Settings section of the customer portal. By default, new accounts are setup to use the value route. The Value/Premium route applies separately for Canada and International. The Premium route is the only available route for the U.S..
