JAMESBURG, N.J., May 19, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- VoicePulse Inc. today announced the immediate availability of the FlexRate pricing program for the VoicePulse Connect for Asterisk service. The program allows users of Asterisk-based Voice-over-IP PBXs to perform their own least-cost routing by downloading rates for phone calls instantaneously.
Least-cost routing has traditionally required customers to constantly download rates and recalculate the current lowest rate for domestic and international calls. Using the FlexRate program, customers no longer have to maintain their own database of rates. With minimal configuration changes, the Asterisk PBX will automatically retrieve the rate for a particular destination and decide which provider to use at the moment a call is made.
"We encourage our customers to do their own least-cost routing to take advantage of the lowest rates from multiple providers," said Ravi Sakaria, VoicePulse's president. "By offering FlexRate real-time pricing, we give our customers 1 cent calling to most of the United States and the ability to automatically use another provider for the rest."
VoicePulse Connect for Asterisk customers can make and receive calls from anywhere in the world using the standard SIP protocol as well as Asterisk's own IAX protocol. Using the VoicePulse Connect API, customers can easily integrate VoicePulse Connect into their own back-end systems and websites.
The VoicePulse Connect for Asterisk service includes:
