Outbound Voice Services

Outbound voice services from Sprint Wholesale enable you to increase revenues and expand your market presence by leveraging the 100% digital, fiber-optic Sprint network. A choice of dedicated or switched services and enhanced routing capabilities support the different needs of both facilities-based and switchless operations.

Switched outbound is a high-quality, long-distance service designed specifically for providers who do not maintain their own switches.
Dedicated outbound is a flexible, cost-effective voice service for facilities-based providers. Calls originate via dedicated T1 links between your switch and a Sprint point-of-presence (POP).
Dedicated outbound extension enables you to bring the advantages of Sprint's dedicated outbound calling directly to your customers. Calls originate via dedicated facilities between your customers location and a Sprint POP.

The account codes feature is available for all Sprint Wholesale Outbound Voice services. With account codes, you can offer your customers improved security and simplified cost management. A customer-defined code of up to five digits can be entered for each call to track costs by client, project, employee, department or other accounting group. Account codes can be accepted as entered by the caller or validated by Sprint to reduce unauthorized calling.

All outbound services include Sprint Wholesale Carrier Transport^SM, a powerful invoicing and management reporting platform that makes it easy to create and analyze reports for Sprint services and locations. You can manage Sprint Wholesale Outbound Voice services with the Sprint Wholesale DeskTop Manager^SM and Sprint Wholesale InfoLink^SM products.
