You are a small to medium business owner, you are looking for a VOIP based calling card solution to start the calling card business in your local area quickly, there have many options and products on the market you can select and buy, but you meet many problems:

* The one time investment on such calling card solutions are very expensive, not only you need purchase the VOIP Gateways, but also you need buy calling card IVR system, A-Z routes management system, pre-paid billing system and one or more Windows/Linux based server(s) to run these software, the first investment can be up to five or eight thousands US dollars easily;

* You need put all your gateways and computer servers in a internet data center, or we called co-location center, for example you rent half rack or 1/4 rack to put your devices in, then rent a 512Kbps internet connection plus 8 or 16 ports PSTN line, the rental cost is another expense for your business, which could be from 400 to 800 US dollars monthly;

* And, you are a business man, so you do not have good skills in configuring and maintaining the VOIP gateways, setting up the pre-paid calling card billings, doing trouble-shootings when something was wrong and find a solution to solve it, to face such problems, you have to hire one or more experienced engineer working as full time or part time for you - which you need pay high salary; Or get help from the hardware/software manufacturer, but these companies charge you per hour for the service and technical support they did for you, and in the end, maybe still not get your headaches away;
