Unveiling Skyetel's Expertise in Toll Free Services
In today's fast-paced business environment, having a reliable and cost-effective communication solution is paramount. Skyetel, a renowned leader in the toll free carrier service industry, stands out by offering unparalleled toll free services and DID (Direct Inward Dialing) phone numbers. With a robust infrastructure and a wide range of toll free options, Skyetel is dedicated to meeting the unique needs of businesses, both large and small.
Comprehensive Range of Toll Free DID Numbers
Skyetel provides an extensive selection of toll free DID numbers, covering a variety of prefixes to cater to different geographical and business requirements. These include the popular 800, 855, 866, 877, and 888 prefixes, as well as international options for businesses looking to expand their reach beyond borders.
How Skyetel Delivers Toll Free Numbers
Skyetel ensures seamless delivery of toll free numbers through three main types of facilities:
1. **Toll Free Over SIP Trunks or Hosted VoIP**
2. **Switched Toll Free Service**
3. **Dedicated T1 or PRI Toll Free Service**
Let's delve deeper into each of these delivery methods to understand how Skyetel can optimize your business communications.
Toll Free Over SIP Trunks or Hosted VoIP
Cost-Effective Solutions with SIP Trunks
Delivering 800 number services over SIP trunks is a cost-effective solution that eliminates the middleman, similar to a long-distance-only T1/PRI setup. This approach offers businesses the lowest toll free rates available. One of the significant advantages of Skyetel's SIP trunk toll free service is flexibility; businesses can purchase as little as one SIP trunk and still benefit from competitive rates. For volume users, Skyetel offers SIP trunk toll free rates starting as low as $0.014 per minute, making it an attractive option for cost-conscious enterprises.
Hosted VoIP: A Slightly Higher Investment
While Skyetel's Hosted PBX providers might charge a bit more for running 800 services through their hosted switches, they offer a robust platform with additional features that can justify the marginally higher cost. Whether you are a wholesale or retail customer, Skyetel guarantees some of the best rates in the industry.
Switched Toll Free Service
Traditional Routing with Switched Services
Skyetel also offers switched toll free services, where 800 numbers are routed to existing analog POTS lines, similar to the ones used in homes or businesses. This traditional method involves the local phone company, which takes a cut for passing the call through its local service switch. Consequently, switched toll free services tend to be more expensive. However, Skyetel remains competitive by offering some of the best switched toll free rates available.
Dedicated T1 or PRI Toll Free Service
Versatile Termination Options
Toll free numbers can terminate on either long-distance-only T1/PRIs or local service T1/PRIs. These facilities can be configured as one-way, inbound-only, or two-way, allowing for both incoming and outgoing calls.
#### Local vs. Long-Distance T1/PRI
Local service T1/PRIs operate as switched services, which means they generally incur higher costs due to local telephone company fees. However, some Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) offer rates on local T1s or PRIs that are nearly identical to those of long-distance-only T1/PRIs. In contrast, Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs) typically do not provide reductions on switching fees included in the total price per minute.
#### Competitive Flat Rate Plans
For businesses seeking flat-rate toll free plans, Skyetel offers competitive options with rates as low as $0.016 per minute, depending on the carrier and call volume. Long-distance-only T1/PRI rates can start around $0.013 per minute interstate. Additionally, Skyetel provides rate decks based on the NPA-NXX (area code + prefix) from which the call originates, ideal for high-volume users like call centers, often resulting in lower average costs.
