Methodology & sources
Prices are read from each vendor's official pricing page (USD, before tax) and re-checked against a verbatim quote; last check 2026-10-22. Monthly cost = the cheapest plan for your volume: plan price plus the stated overage. Minute-billed plans assume 3 minutes per call. Not included: tax, phone-number fees, add-ons and annual discounts (unless a plan is only sold annually); setup fees are shown separately. Vendors or volumes without a published price are left out of rankings. Order is by cost only and never depends on affiliate status.
