Unlimited Plan For Resellers

[VOIPoTim]

Out of curiosity, if we could do an "unlimited" (with softcap) price on the DIDs of something around $5, but still stay usage-based/measured on the outgoing, is that something that would ease some fears?

In Tier 0 and Tier 1 areas, we could probably work that in.

If I rephrase/paraphrase what your said ... do you mean:

Purchase DIDs for $5/month with 'unlimited'/soft cap incoming, and metered outgoing.

Was that the proposal?

$5.00 DID
$1.00 E911
$5.50 If 500 minutes get used
============================
$11.00 typical monthly

Likely less because incoming would account for part of the typical 500 minute usage.

PLEASE CORRECT MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

Would this mean you could start the customer on $5 DID, then switch to $1 DID pricing if you see the usage is acceptable? That may not be in VOIPo's best interest.

Recap my thoughts

200 In/300 Out

$1.00 DID
$1.00 E911
$5.50 Inbound/Outbound
============================
$7.50

200 In/300 Out

$5.00 DID
$1.00 E911
$3.30 Outbound
============================
$8.30

To avoid abuse:

• You could offer Resellers two options:
  
  • $5 = DID Inbound Unlimited
  • $1 = DID Metered In/Out:
  
  
• Make it all or nothing
  
  • You could switch from one billing mode to the other
    
    • On Reseller monthly billing date.
    • Or perhaps a 30 day minimum period once selected.
    
    
  • You can only use one billing mode for ALL clients.
    
    • No mix and match tricks.

Any chance this may yet be considered?

We may consider it for the future, but it would require pretty drastic coding changes if we did it so it would have to be in the next release if we did it (likely end of year).
