<br>
Last I heard XO exited the SIP TERM market--purportedly too competitive for them.<br>
<br>
Level-3 works well and handles 90% of the US resale SIP TERM market from what I hear--we use them for as a primary carrier for US ORIG, TF ORIG, as well as TERM (US Domestic and International). We aren't as cost focused as some but more quality focused--and we've never had voice quality issues with them. They expect 1 million minutes per month with a $10,000 USD monthly commit. There's been so much turnover at Level-3 I'm not sure who the best person to contact is but I'll send you our contact details separately.<br>
<br>
Never had an dealing with AT&T so no info to provide but we've also run into folks that use Verizon--no details there either both have a hefty take or pay . . .<br>
<br>
Feel free to contact me directly if you have any additional questions or would like to discuss a partnership should you not be able to meet any of the commitments required by Level-3 as we are always looking to add minutes and reduce our costs :)<br>
<br>
Hope that gets you started at the very least . . .<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
