We don't meter calls-per-second.
Twilio, Telnyx, and every CPaaS you've quoted charge for CPS. Extra per call-per-second. Extra for bursts. Extra for channels. We don't. Your trunk. Your traffic. One minute rate, nothing else.
Every other carrier charges for CPS. We priced it out.

→Metering CPS is how CPaaS vendors stay profitable on spiky traffic. It's also why your dialer ops team fights with your finance team every quarter. We don't play that game — contact centers are our whole customer base, not a side vertical.
Your trunk does what trunks are supposed to do.
No per-CPS fee
CPS is not a line item. Your trunk ID can send 1 or 50,000 calls per second through the same configuration.
No channel caps
Simultaneous call count is not metered. 120,000 concurrent US ports across the network — your trunk gets as much of that as it needs.
No burst fees
If you go from 10 CPS to 2,000 CPS for an hour during a campaign start, your invoice looks exactly the same as if you'd sustained the average.
Rate-limits set by you
We let you cap your own trunk (by CPS or concurrent calls) as a safety so a rogue campaign can't blow your budget. But that's your choice — not a default floor.
The customers we carry voice for.
Every one of these runs spiky or high-CPS traffic. Every one of them stopped metering their trunk the day they ported to us.
Predictive dialers
A 100-seat predictive dialer can spike to 1,500+ CPS during campaign starts. On metered carriers, this means buying headroom you don't use 90% of the time. With us, the spike happens on your trunk without touching your bill.
Political & surveys
Seasonal bursts from 50 to 50,000 CPS in a window of hours. Elasticity is the product, not an upsell. On a metered carrier, this is a multi-thousand-dollar conversation with sales each cycle.
Healthcare reminders
Appointment reminder platforms fire all morning, nothing all afternoon. You need headroom, not average CPS. Metered plans punish the peak you can't move.
BPOs & white-label
Sub-accounts' traffic doesn't stack neatly. If any one client spikes, the whole account overflows. We route at the carrier edge — you pay for minutes, not headroom.
We give you exactly what you need to operate your campaigns. Nothing more, nothing less.
This is why every serious call-center and contact-center operation chose VICICarrier for their SIP trunking. The trunk pricing you see is the trunk pricing you pay. No CPS line item. No per-channel fee. No burst surcharge. No "enterprise tier" for the same technology.
Port your trunk. Keep your traffic pattern. Drop the CPS fees.
