      So like using Google Hangouts, that's VoIP. And it never touches the PSTN. And it is completely tax free. A VoIP call that hits the PSTN stops being a VoIP call, so gets taxed when it becomes part of the PSTN.

        Right, and yet we've never got a bill for using the Hangouts feature of calling a land line. So either Google pays the tax directly (likely) or, actually thats whats going on.

        The big issue I am running into is I have found good customer base for selling just the voice platform, which is really what I want. However, they want to bring theyre trunks and bill the customer direct (which is fine) but another guy who I am taking some business from is giving a lot of pause over taxes.

        Ironically, his own platform uses suretax I believe and charges huge fees that could easily be bypassed.

          Taxes, is exactly why I do not do anything more than help clients sign up for their own service.

              Just start a new chat, type a 10 digit number as the contact, hit send. The party getting the call sees "unkown"

                    I've not found Hangouts to be all that reliable, even for just Hangouts own calls.

                        I wish they'd quit messing with features. I used to use this all the time, but around a year ago it just quit working.
