Good day.
In my eternal search for excellent VoIP providers, I opened a FlowRoute account and received 25 cents credit to make test calls.
After figuring out how to set up an OBI200 to work with FlowRoute (took me a while because there is a "trick" to transmitting outgoing Caller ID) I made a few test calls and was impressed with the stability and quality of the calls.
Clicked the CDR page to find out how much of the 25 cents was gone. Most of it was still unused. Noticed an interesting thing, though, there were two totals. One for calls at the published $.0098/minute rate billed in one second increments (notwithstanding that the web page states that calls are billed in sixty second increments -- they probably mean sixty one second increments), and one for "USF Fees."
All of the other VoIP providers I do business with (CC, VoIP.ms, Localphone and one or two others) publish rates inclusive of all taxes and fees. Not sure why FR chooses to charge them separately. Having said that, unless there is a show stopper event between now and the time my quarter is gone, I will probably fund and use the FR account.
