VoicePulse announced today in an email that Business and Wholesale accounts will be required to meet a minimum usage of $10/month. They also advised that their Terms of Service had been updated to reflect the change. The company targeting users utilizing the service as a backup provider encouraged account holders to contact a representative to discuss becoming the “Primary” provider.
The email follows:
Beginning on your next monthly bill cycle (3/27/2010 12:00:00 AM), your VoicePulse for Business and Wholesale account will be required to meet a minimum usage of $10 per month. The minimum usage requirement can be met by any combination of phone numbers, channels, features, outbound minutes, inbound toll-free minutes, etc. Our Terms of Service has been updated to reflect above mentioned changes and we advise all customers to review the updated Terms of Service available within your account center.
Make VoicePulse Your Primary Provider
If you are using VoicePulse service as a backup provider and do not meet this minimum usage each month, our customer service representatives are ready to work with you on pricing so that we can become your primary provider.
Inactive Accounts
If you are not using your VoicePulse service and have no intention of doing so in the future, our customer service representatives will be responsive, courteous and expeditious in canceling your account, at your request. However, if you are using another provider for your VoIP services and have had a good experience with VoicePulse in the past, we are ready to take whatever steps necessary to win back your business and offer you savings that exceed or eliminate this fee altogether
We appreciate your continued support and we look forward to serving you in the years to come. As always, our representatives are available by phone at +1-732-339-5100 M-F 9am-5pm ET and email at contact@voicepulse.com.

Yeah, at least you had a pretty good warning. They gave me 36 hours notice and said take it or leave. I left…
I plan to migrate my smaller customers off of their services soon, and the ones that don’t have problems with the monthly minimum will migrate as feasible. They’ll loose out on about $15k/year from my clients.
Even though there have been a few better deals out there recently we haven’t moved anyone until this latest push. VoicePulse pushed just enough to cause a re-evaluation of their services and they lost the evaluation.
