What are typical wholesale VoIP rates?

Wholesale VoIP rates start at approximately $0.003 per minute for major US and UK destinations on CLI routes. Rates vary by destination, route type, and committed volume. A-Z rates for less-common destinations are higher.

How is per-minute billing structured?

Softtop uses 1-second increment billing (1/1) with no minimum call duration. You are billed only for the seconds connected — not rounded up to the nearest minute or longer interval.

Are there setup fees or minimum commitments?

There are no setup fees for standard wholesale accounts. Minimum monthly commitments vary by rate tier — higher commitments unlock progressively lower per-minute rates on all destinations.

Can I get a custom US rate sheet within 24 hours?

Yes. Submit the wholesale rate inquiry form with your target destinations and monthly minute estimate. A custom rate sheet is typically delivered within one business day of the initial inquiry.

What is 1/1 billing in wholesale VoIP?

1/1 billing means calls are billed in one-second increments from the first second of connection. This is the most favorable billing model for short calls — compared to 6/6 or 30/6 models which round up to longer minimums.

How quickly is a wholesale account activated?

Once qualification is complete and the agreement is signed, SIP credentials and routing are typically provisioned within one business day for all agreed destinations.

Competitive A–Z Rates. No Hidden Surcharges.

Softtop's Wholesale VoIP Rates page centers on transparent, self-service pricing for wholesale voice buyers, leading with US Tier-1 CLI routes starting from $0.0025 per minute with 1-second/1-second billing, 200-plus country destinations refreshed weekly, and prepaid or postpaid billing with no minimums and no hidden charges. It explains what actually drives per-minute pricing: destination type (country, landline versus mobile versus toll-free each carry a different base cost from the terminating carrier), route type (CLI routes pass caller ID in line with FCC call authentication standards and deliver higher ASR, while non-CLI is cheaper but lowers answer rates, leading most operators to run both), and billing increment (1-second/1-second billing cuts effective cost by 10 to 20 percent versus 30-second/30-second billing, with higher monthly volume unlocking tiered discounts). Five factors explain why Softtop's rates are competitive: direct Tier-1 interconnects that buy minutes directly from US carriers and cut out middle-tier markups, aggregated buying power from thousands of customers behind one network unlocking pricing solo operators can't access, real-time Least Cost Routing that automatically picks the cheapest qualified route per call, transparent 1/1 billing with no hidden surcharges, PDD penalties, or rounding tricks, and a 24/7 US-based Network Operations Center where engineers monitor rates and routes around the clock and adjust as market conditions change. A three-step onboarding process gets buyers started: share your traffic profile (top destinations, monthly minutes, and CLI or non-CLI preference), receive a custom A-Z rate sheet from the sales team within 24 hours, and test routes prepaid with no commitments by loading a prepaid balance to validate quality before scaling. This page targets carriers, resellers, and enterprises evaluating Softtop's per-minute pricing directly against other wholesale voice providers before committing volume.
