Routes and Rates

 

What are your routes like?

We send all traffic to tier-1 carriers in the world and for most of them we are sending using TDM interconnections that we own and manage.  Those carriers provide us a reasonable blend of white and grey routes.

SipStatus Standard --> low rates, good quality

SipStatus Premium --> higher rates, very good quality

Wholesale --> low rates, good quality ( Only for Service Providers)

What if a route fails?

We have interconnections to multiple carriers.  If a call fails, our switch will often overflow it to an alternative route automatically and in real-time.  Sometimes, this re-routing needs to be set manually by our support team.If you still encounter the problem JUST SEND US AN EMAIL

How often do you change your rates?

SipStatus rates are valid for one month.  Rate change notifications are sent by email and new rates are available for download in Microsoft Excel format at the online control panel section Pricelists.
