[Asterisk-Users] OT: Toll Free

> 800's offer a large exposure from the $ position. 

/Can/ offer.  I think our credit limit's $100.  I would certainly understand
someone deciding that a reasonable risk management policy would be to dump
that down to $20, etc., for longtime customers who had not yet been
contacted, or were in process of providing the new card data.

> Its still no reason to treat a long term or any customer like dirt. 

That's really the whole point. 

It's business.  You take a little risk.  If you're unwilling to take a
little risk, get out of business.  No need to take it out on the customers.

Huh?

That'd be nice.  VoIP is clearly going to start changing the face of
telephony as we know it.
