360networks enhances its VoIP Origination service to include support for SMS/MMS and a new metered inbound pricing model. 360networks' new SMS/MMS feature utilizes the same carrier grade SMS platform as wireless to wireless SMS, providing accurate routing of messages using real-time updates from the industry Local Number Portability database. Provided over a fault tolerant platform, it delivers real-time processing of messages and message tracking via online reporting tools.

The VoIP Origination Metered Inbound pricing model is ideal for communications service providers requiring billing based on total minutes of call time. The model enables customers whose traffic is more burstable in nature to realize greater costs savings and usability than per port models.

VoIP Origination is part of the full suite of 360networks wholesale VoIP services including Toll Free Origination as well as Local and Long Distance Termination. 360networks offers VoIP Origination via several different models and feature sets to meet a variety of customer needs.
