Not to totally change the subject.. but you've actually been able to make calls passing 800xxxxxx as your CALLER-ID? Alot of places will block your calls if you do that (and I don't mean VoIP carriers).<br><br><div>

I've been with Teliax for a few years now and they have been great,<br>however recently they stopped allowing us to set our callerID to the 800<br>number we have with them. Here is their explanation:<br><br>"Effective April 16th please note that all outbound dialing will need to
<br>pass a valid *LOCAL* 10 digit number for your callerid. This applies to<br>callerid set using the Teliax portal or your own SIP/IAX user agent.<br>This change is the result of carrier push to raise rates on termination.
<br>We do not intend to raise rates in the foreseeable future but must take<br>action to control our costs. As such, any calls passed through teliax<br>with a non-valid callerid (this means toll-free CID as well) will be<br>
allowed to pass but with a newly generated interstate caller ID."<br><br>Is this something that will be happening across the industry, or is it<br>specific to Teliax? This is causing us all sorts of problems, so is<br>
there a good VOIP company out there that:<br><br>a. You can actually call and get a hold of someone.<br>b. Offers US-48+Canada toll-free DIDs.<br>c. Central or West coast servers.<br>d. Decent rates, in the 2.0cents/min range preferably.
<br><br>I hate to leave Teliax, but this is pretty much forcing us to do so.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>--Bandwidth and Colocation provided by <a href="http://Easynews.com">Easynews.com</a>
