This provider seems to be a living room provider, who likes to get rich quickly. At the site from voiptraffic.net, you'll find the information
We offer our service to all VoIP market members: Wholesale VoIP Termination business, small VoIP service providers, callshops etc.
Additional you'll find at his FAQ page the information:
What is the minimum top-up amount required?
We require a minimum Payment of 100 EUR or 150 USD depending on currency of the account. No monthly payment required.
If you sign up with this idiot and make 2 concurrent calls to the same number your account already gets blocked. This guy seems to have a bandwidth problem too, because he likes to change all the traffic to codecs G.723 or G.729, where additional license fees need to get paid for it. In any way a fax transfer is only possible by using the codec G.711. Don't sign up with such a deadbeat. You'll even would not be able to test one of your DID own numbers from another provider.
This pseudo provider does not care about the European law of telecommunication secrecy. He is confirming breaking the law by himself, inside an e-mail to the account owner: "We have called that number and it does not seem like adverting number but something absolutely different.":
It seems that this pseudo provider likes to collect phone numbers, which he is able to sell to other call centers. This would bring them some additional earnings and would explain why you are not allowed to call many times the same number.
The guy is even too stupid to recognize, that the name of his customer is Rauchecker and the company from Mr. Rauchecker is my customer. So he has sent the email to his customers email address with addressing my name in the content. Our common customer has forwarded the email to me.
I call this guy to be a scammer, because he did not send back the remaining balance from the account until now. As he is breaking the law even by calling the numbers you have dialed, he cannot be any trustful business man. This stupid guy likes to take over the control whom you are calling. He even did not recognize that the reality in the world is different to his dreams. The idiot likes to empower himself over his customers. In such a case he will end up like a lot other VoIP providers until now - at the VoIP graveyard.
If you are following up this article until the end, you'll see by taking a look at the building that he even does not lie by writing "Best regards from sofa in the living room" (I have called him to be a VoIP living room provider before), because it is not possible to test with the service from this provider your own DID numbers. You'll get blocked as you are making 2 concurrent calls to the same phone number. How he has tested his own service? How he could have ever tested if has lost calls or not without comparing call detail records (cdr) from an outgoing system with the cdr of an incoming system? Is he really such a technical deadbeat?
Here an example from his email how he is blocking on a prepaid account:
Dear Valued Customer,
Some suspicious traffic (loop or multiple call attempts to a number pool) has been detected from the account(s) helmut.
Your account has been blocked automatically in order to prevent any possible fraud or billing discrepancies.
Please check this from your side, provide us with the details of this issue and let us know if we may unblock your account.
Here are the details:
suspicious calls to:
16136992231 (2) Canada
16136992241 (3) Canada
--
With Best Regards,
Customer Service
As he did not return the remaining balance until now, I have tried yesterday his service again. The result you see in the email above. From € 100,- on a prepaid account my customer could make only calls for less than € 3,57. During this time he got 2 times blocked. For me it seems that this scammer has used the money for himself and cannot pay his upstream provider. For this purpose he is searching for some reasons to block his customers in the hope that he can catch a stupid one, who pays into his system at least € 100,-.

By taking a look at the Belgium business register (SPRL PORTALINKS company register.pdf (291.12 kb)), we'll find the managers from this company: Jersova, Inese and Jersova, Kristina with source from Latvia. Also their "sales manager", Viesturs Lapins, has his source in Latvia. A rogue who thinks evil. The address Doornstraat 29, 1700 DILBEEK is an additional address from SPRL Portalinks, but their main address is Boulevard Louis Mettewie 95/7, 1080 Molenbeek-Saint-Jean.
A verification of their VAT number says that the number is valid:
In any way, a registered company will not give you any security. A company can run into bankruptcy, the manager can disappear over night and you are not able to reach in the pockets of a naked one.
