Telecom: common questions
Are prepaid services riskier than monthly plans?
Yes, because they attract card testing and stolen cards. Limits and verification help.
Can we bill monthly by ACH?
Yes. It costs less and brings fewer disputes for many customers.
Does VoIP count as telecom?
Usually, yes. Tell us what services you offer so we match the right acquirer.
