Ask HN: How can VoIP providers offer unlimited?
I sometimes see unlimited VOIP companies offer unlimited plans. Looking at services like Twilio, voip.ms, etc, there is clearly a cost associated with running infrastructure and connecting to different telephone networks. How can some providers provide unlimited, even when considering that some abusive users could easily run up the tab?
- pwg 8y agoOne possibility comes to mind: The unlimited plans are the externally visible manifestation of the fact that the actual costs of delivery of the service are so low that the profit from the non-abusive users far outweigh any loss incurred by the abusive users.
