[asterisk-biz] US VoIP DIDs that accept collect calls

[Alex Balashov]

A call where the recipient pays instead of the caller.

In phone systems (especially mobile) in some other countries, this is 
normal.  But in the US, this is highly unusual and requires special 
steps to accomplish, which is why it has special terminology associated 
with it.
