My uncle has a business that has 3 toll free numbers, and 2 local lines. His current service is with Cierracom, which appears to be a subsidiary of NOS communications, which appears to be under investigation by the FCC for shady dealings.

Anyway, my uncle feels that his bill is way too high, and would like me to look into alternatives. At first, I looked into VoIP, but Vonage is unable to transfer toll free numbers at this time, and he's not willing to give his numbers up.

So, I'm shopping around for a new carrier for him. Does anyone have a recommendation?

I'm not sure what he is paying per minute now. His bills aren't in minutes, but in TCU's (total call units), which seem to defy any sort of logic.

Check out Kall8 Not with them yet, but everyone recommends them. $2/month and 6.9ยข/min extensive control over your toll-free number. Highly recommended.

I know nothing about this, but someone just happened to send me an email about this so maybe it's an omen.

Or maybe it's not.

Quality of scype is not that great, pauses and stuff. Get a real hard wired 800 service as I mentioned with Kall8.
