DIDs and Porting

Ordering a DID or DID services on Voxbeam's website constitutes an authorized purchase order, and the funds will be removed from the user's account as soon as the order is filled. Monthly recurring charges are billed on the 25th day of each month. This is also called the DID billing cycle. DIDs and DID services are prepaid one month in advance.

Setup fees are also called "NRC" (non-recurring charge).
Monthly Charges are called "MRC" (monthly recurring charges)

DID Setup costs include the DID monthly cost for the remainder of the current DID billing cycle. (Example: if you buy a New York City DID on April 10th then you will be charged a $4.00 Setup fee on April 10th. The next fee you will be charged will be for the beginning of the next billing cycle starting on April 25th.)

Cancelling a DID or DID services in the middle of a DID cycle will not be eligible for any full or partial refund.

DIDs will continue to be charged until a proper notification of cancellation sent to dids@voxbeam.com.

Any problems or service issues with DID service must be reported immediately to dids@voxbeam.com or support@voxbeam.com and will be evaluated within 24 hours.

For customers wishing to port their Voxbeam numbers to another network or provider, the following conditions will apply:

There is a one time $3 Administration fee to port each number away from Voxbeam. For customers who have ported their numbers into Voxbeam, this fee will be waived.

It is the customer’s sole responsibility to notify Voxbeam of this action in writing here. Charges for porting out may apply for the labor and resources used by Voxbeam to help complete the port out request. Any charges are not meant to be a penalty, but simply a cost recovery mechanism. The number will remain on the user’s account until written notification has been received that the customer has ported the number away. Customers will continue to be charged their recurring monthly fees until proper notification has been given. No refunds will be given for recurring monthly charges that were assessed because notification was not given prior to the date the funds were taken.

Due to various regulations and diverse network infrastructure in certain countries there are certain restrictions and quality issues that may affect your DID services purchased through Voxbeam. The below list is generated from information given to us by our suppliers and we want to make our customers aware of these rules, regulations, restrictions, and limitations. Due to the complexities of DID services, Voxbeam cannot make any guarantees in regards to DID services. If you have specific concerns please contact your account manager.

Some countries do not qualify for any type of service Level Agreement “SLA”. This means that Voxbeam cannot guarantee the ongoing services in certain locations or claim any consistent level of quality.

Some locations may require address verification before activation of service.

DID excessive inbound call surcharges (UK only): There are network costs associated with high volumes of incoming calls, therefore if any single UK number receives more than 100 calls per day then a $0.001 surcharge will be assessed on a per call basis for each call to any DID number that exceeds 100 calls per day per number.
