Just for an update, Twilio is down to $0.007 / minute for inbound and $0.0045 / minute outbound.
That makes a nearly $500 difference in my example of
10,400 * 15 * $0.007 = $1,092and almost $100 difference in the10,400 * 5 * $0.007 = $364example from above.
holy cow that is cheap!

We plan to add Twilio for our Mexican lines.

Wish all SIP providers would have a nice beautiful console like Twilio's!!

Why wouldn't you use it for your American lines?

cost of change is higher the the savings.
That is why I don't switch any existing services.

Their usage numbers are probablty as low as mine.. When you use only a few hundred minutes a month the ROI on the savings will takes years and years to recoup for the hour or two that you have to pay someone to get it all migrated.

I thought most everyone will waive porting fees these days?

It takes me up to 2 hours of work to gather, submit, and follow through on a port.

C'mon JB, with your skill level, that's stuff you can do with your eyes closed!

Not hard, but it simply takes time. If you get even a single number wrong, your port will be fucked.

Tried a few more times and eventually it worked.

Thanks for this post, @JaredBusch . I got the previous month's bill from TPX and am going to start going through it to see how much we can save by switching from our PRI.
We have to upgrade (replace) our Mitel/ShoreTel Shoregear T1, so that will cost a few grand.
