hi
many VoIP users ask how VoIP providers make money from VoIP calls, and how the different VoIP websites have different ways of making money, and what are the best VoIP providers in terms of making money from VoIP services.
now we will answer the question of how VoIP companies make money.
some providers may derive some income from incoming calls, but revenue is mostly from the monthly fee.
If a provider is paying 0.8 cents per minute for termination (a guess, here, but I think the big players can meet or beat this rate on average), then 2500 outgoing minutes is $20. Incoming is likely covered by the origination backchannel fees and essentially "free" to the provider. There are infrastructure/bandwidth/E911/phone number costs involved for the providers, too, so their cost might be a little higher than $20. I imagine your "business class" line is more than $25, so your provider is likely happy with you as a customer.
Now, read the fine print-- the part where "unlimited" is defined as "unlimited within certain usage limits" and that users who average upwards of 3500-5000 minutes, a.k.a. a point where they would become unprofitable, are disconnected or billed overage.
Margins can be pretty thin for heavy users, but there are also a considerable number of subscribers who are below 1000 (or even 100) minutes a month.
