[asterisk-biz] Toll free origination from payphones

[Barton Fisher]

Sorry, could you explain a bit more?  Are you saying you want someone to 
route toll free dialed calls that originate from a payphone to you via 
SIP?  If so, this would not be possible as you would need to own the 
payphone line. Also, payphone owner receive a commission on toll free 
dial numbers.  I doubt they would give up this money.

If you are talking about dialing to a toll free on a payphone, then 
you'll also will have a problem because the commission paid is billed to 
the toll free owner as a surcharge.  Last checked it was 65 cents 
surcharge.  This might be why you are having problem finding a provider 
that will handle these calls as nobody wants to pay this surcharge.  I 
personally block payphones from calling any and all my toll frees

So, I suppose if you didn't mind paying 90 cents for the first minute, 
you could find someone to handle this...  heck, maybe I would for 90 
cents for the first minute and 8 cents per minute afterwards :)
