[Asterisk-Users] Braodvoice - UK Non Geographic Numbers

[trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com]

its not you, its their false advertising that makes you think you can
dial these (after all their rates page *still* claims they provide
service and that its unlimited based on plan).

There are threads on voxilla.com in the broadvoice forums, which have
chat logs between me and the CTO nathan stratton, along with a slew of
phone numbers of people at broadvoice (managers and such).  

Basically Nathan said they found a UK provider to terminate these calls
and then nothing ever happened, he did give me a credit on my account
becuase I was unable to call, something I am going to have to get again
since I still havent been able to call and NCFA/LCFA/FREE were the
reasons I choose broadvoice vs someone else. 

There is also an interesting thread there on the ownership structure of
broadvoice, and how broadvoice is a registered trademark of broadcomm
being used without permission by broadvoice.com.
