"Very Asterisk-friendly; reliable; better support than most"
"Relatively expensive; a bit quirky"
"Still one of the best Asterisk-friendly providers around"

I've been using Teliax with Asterisk for well over two years and only now got around to reviewing them...
The good: - Teliax is one of the oldest Asterisk-friendly providers, and it shows - Reliability can't be beat -- service is almost never down, and on the rare occasion when it is, there's almost always an explanation - Support is better than average - Local numbers are available almost everywhere...something that can't be said for a lot of other providers (VoicePulse has good local number availability in some regions but relatively poor availability in others; a lot of other Asterisk-friendly providers are limited to large cities)
The not-so-good: - Teliax is rather expensive when compared to others (Vitelity, VoicePulse Connect since they revised their outbound rates, etc.); international rates are good but not great. OTOH, Teliax does offer quasi-unlimited plans, something which is rarely seen from other Asterisk-friendly providers. (I don't consider BroadVoice, ViaTalk, etc. truly Asterisk-friendly, as they don't normally allow for multiple concurrent calls and so on) - Parts of the service can be a bit quirky at times; CNAM, G.726-32 support, etc. tend to be somewhat flaky
IMO, when it comes to VoIP in general and Asterisk-friendly providers in particular, you get what you pay for...and Teliax, while expensive, has enough going for it that they remain at the top of my list.

|  |  |  NYC Girl Premium join:2007-02-04 New York, NY | Re: Cost? That's pretty good. A lot of the VoIP's do have unlimited minutes though for that price; however, if you are happy then it is a good deal. Nothing is free and no company is trying to give away anything, if it is too cheap it is for a reason. | |
