Home / Volume pricing
Volume-commitment pricing
Often asked for as wholesale. IPComms does not run a wholesale rate card: high-volume origination and termination are priced against a committed monthly minute volume, from about one million minutes a month, and the rates are written into the quote. Below that threshold the published rates apply to everyone, with no commitment and no contract.
How commitments work
- What you commit to
- A monthly minute volume, typically one million minutes a month or more, across origination and termination
- What we quote against it
- Per-minute rates for US and Canada origination and termination and toll-free inbound, number pricing, and any international destinations you name
- How it is written
- The commitment, the rates and the term go into a written quote and then the agreement. Nothing on this page is the committed rate.
- Below the threshold
- The published rates apply, with no commitment and no contract
- Billing
- Monthly invoice; per-channel plans available for a fixed line item; usage detail per call in the portal and by API
- Traffic
- Human-initiated conversational traffic only. Auto-dialers, robocalling and campaign traffic are prohibited by the acceptable use policy and are not quoted at any volume.
Who this is for
- Resellers and MSPs
- You bill your own customers, under your brand or ours, from a multi-tenant portal; the reseller track on the partner page describes the model.
- Contact centers and BPOs
- Inbound, outbound or blended centres on Genesys Cloud CX, Five9, Talkdesk, Webex Contact Center, Zoom or your own platform.
- Voice platforms
- Hosted PBX, UCaaS or application platforms that terminate and originate calls for their own customers over SIP, by IP authentication.

Full rate sheet: SIP trunking pricing
These are the rates every account gets. A commitment is only worth making if your volume is large enough that a lower per-minute rate outweighs the obligation; the quote shows both numbers.
Network
Your platform connects to either or both points of presence by IP authentication; inbound calls for your numbers are delivered to both; outbound calls leave through multiple upstream carriers over SIP TLS with SRTP, with automatic failover.

Questions
- Is this wholesale SIP trunking?
- It is what most buyers mean by wholesale: high-volume origination and termination at rates below the published ones. IPComms prices it against a committed monthly minute volume rather than a wholesale rate card, so the rate you get is tied to the volume you commit to, in writing.
- What is the difference between SIP origination and SIP termination?
- Origination is inbound: a caller dials one of your numbers and the call is delivered to your system over SIP. Termination is outbound: your system sends a call to us and we deliver it to the public network. Both are covered by one commitment.
- Can I resell under my own brand?
- Yes, on the reseller track: you bill your customers at your own price, manage them in a multi-tenant portal, and support them first-line with our engineers behind you. There is no separate white-label programme; the reseller track is priced by volume commitment.
- What volume is required?
- Commitments start at around one million minutes a month. Below that the published rates apply to everyone, with no commitment and no contract, and they are already $0.010 per minute outbound and $0.009 inbound in the US and Canada.
- Can I port existing numbers?
- Yes. Local and toll-free numbers port in from any carrier at $5 a number, volume discounts for 100 or more. Local ports typically complete in 3–10 business days and toll-free in 5–10.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. The portal API covers number search and activation, trunk management, sub-account creation and call-detail retrieval, so a platform can provision without the web interface.
