The industry needed a standard. We built it.
Every other commodity market standardized decades ago — contracts, formats, clearing. Wholesale voice kept trading over bilateral plumbing: bespoke contracts, bespoke interconnects, bespoke rate decks, and credit risk on every deal. Dial Peer exists to end that.
Voice minutes are a commodity. The market wasn't.
A minute to a given destination is fungible — yet the industry traded it like a bespoke service. Hundreds of rate deck formats. A SIP interconnect per relationship. Credit committees for every new counterparty. Settlement cycles long enough to sink a mid-size carrier when one buyer defaults. None of that is trading; all of it is friction.
What was missing is the thing every mature market has: a central venue with standard contracts, a standard format, and a clearing function. An exchange. A meet-me room where the whole industry already is.
Four standards, one platform.
One agreement
A single exchange agreement replaces bilateral contract negotiation with every counterparty on the market.
One interconnect
A single SIP interconnect reaches every carrier, with each route addressable by tech prefix.
One price list
Every offer publishes in one normalized rate format — the whole market reads as a single file.
Cleared settlement
The exchange stands between buyer and seller on every trade — insured postpaid terms or prepay on one side, the seller’s chosen payout cadence on the other. Counterparty credit risk is removed from the business entirely.
The physical meet-me room.
The exchange isn't an abstraction — members connect via direct, low-latency SIP or SIP over TLS, with private interconnection available at 22 NNI locations across three continents and Points of Presence in five global hubs. Members route approximately 5% of the world's international voice traffic to more than 1,300 destinations.
A new start for voice minute exchange.
Carriers no longer need complex bilateral negotiations. They meet each other on Dial Peer, exchange traffic, and settle through the exchange. One agreement, one interconnect, one standard — access to the whole market. That is the position, and the product is the proof.
