Good luck with that one.  Most unlimited providers have limits. (even  
if they say unlimited)

My experience with business unlimited is that they very well know which
customer uses more than "his share" of minutes. Providers that buy
minutes in millions probably get good prizes, but they calculate for an
average call volume. If you are far above profitability - and you seem
to exactly plan that - you will not stay their customer for long.

IMO you would better find a VoIP provider with good minute rates - if
you can afford it, service level agreements, and good customer
management. This might not even be more expensive in the long run, as
"cheap stays cheap": Problems with a cheapo provider will cost YOUR
money. YMMV, of course, and quality can not be always expressed in
numbers as easy as (call minute/price) quantity.

How would we be able to determine the reasonable cost for an unlimited
plan for an unspecified business? If the business was General Electric,
I would bet they would consider $1M/month very reasonable for unlimited
service. A plan for a corner shop might be reasonable at $19.95/month,
typical for this type of service. Why don't you take a "pay as you
go"
plan and pay for what you use?
