Actually, I almost left you for voip.ms, stayed only because you offered discounted 2-year renewals.

I use voip.ms and F9 even now, but for international calling. Your $0.20/min rates to Russia are not competitive at all. It's 7 times more than what I can get from F9. Even calls to Moscow are twice as expensive as e.g. SkypeOut (that has the best voice quality so far, in my opinion).

If you or one of your new resellers could implement a pay-per-minute plan similar to that of voip.ms, I would definitely switch to it after my current contract is over. Even if TF calls in that plan were rated, I'd just route them through F9 for free. If you stop offering discounted renewals, I'll consider switching to voip.ms, simply because I don't spend that much time on the phone domestically to pay $18/month.

Do you use many of the features? Curious how big of a priority that is...

If we do a PAYG option, it'll likely just be incoming/outgoing service with voicemail and caller ID. Features drive up the support costs a lot with that kind of service.

Nah, if I switched to voip.ms, I wouldn't rely on anything but CNAM and failover, not even on VM. Their IVR is great, but if I already have it in Asterisk, so why switch? One important feature of voip.ms though is that they explicitly advertise and support customizable caller id.
