Sure.

And your provider is likely to be losing money on it.

I'm going to ask you this question, as you are in VoIP business. You know
what is the *minimal cost* to terminate those calls (let's just say,
access tariff domestically, and international LEC's charges for 
international calls). Run your personal CDRs and see what is the *possible 
profit margin* for your VoIP carrier.

Its not a sustainable model.
