Show HN: RouteRelay – One 1-800 number that connects to all your phones
routerelay.comWow, pretty expensive for something you can do with VoIP.ms for much cheaper. Their toll free numbers are $1 a month, and 1.9c per minute incoming. The outgoing rate to the number that answers would be 1c a minute in the US.
So, for the RouteRelay $50 plan with 400 minutes, it would cost $12.60 a month at VoIP.ms. Granted, it doesn't have as beautiful of a dashboard...
@deftnerd, Thanks! During my user research and analysis in this area, VoIP.ms didn't come up. So, I appreciate for bringing it up. The responses from the user research suggested that call forwarding and easy to use call management is the number one concern in getting 1-800 numbers; thus, this project came along. As we progress, we would like to bring down the pricing.
Great idea - definitely will check it out in the future.
Thanks! We are looking for feedback as well, so let us know if you think of anything.
So it's Google Voice but with a 1-800 number?
Essentially, yes. That 1-800 number can forward the call to your existing device such as landline or mobile.
Wow, that is insanely expensive for a 1-800 forward: about 5x more expensive for the same amount of minutes than my usual provider.
The pricing is much more simplified, as I would put it. There are providers that would charge hidden fees and up front number registrations. This is our initial launch, would love to hear your feedback as you could be our potential customer :) and using existing services.
