What are the cost benefits?

If you are new to the retail telecom market and/or do not have significant startup capital, CallExchange is the place for you to start!

Using CallExchange has a number of both non re-occurring (NRC) and monthly re-occurring (MRC) cost benefits. The table below shows the difference between starting/moving your business to CallExchange and using other software/hardware systems to manage your retail telecom business. Costs used in the table are conservative numbers.

** for maintenance contracts

The above example assumes you will be using existing CallExchange affiliate access numbers and/or VoIP access. Should you decide to deploy your own access numbers/POP's there will be startup and monthly costs to maintain them. When deploying your own access numbers your costs will still be lower when using CallExchange.
