Yep, same here in Guatemala. Their software flags your line as suspicious if
your calling patterns are odd. Snip snip goes your line. (Of course, so they
can charge $0.10 a minute internationally, while charging $0.02 locally.)

I don't want to be negative here, but I do believe people who go to do 
this know the potential risks they face. In many countries (4 of which I 
have direct, although several year old experience with - all in Asia) 
taking a local phone line and attaching asterisk to it and gatewaying 
traffic from other countries will be considered to be 'theft' by the 
local governments/telco's (of their long distance revenues). My 
experiences were all with USA<-> Asian manufacturing locations - if you 
did voice-over-network between the same companies offices no sweat - the 
moment you allowed hop-off/hop-on gatewaying you were at risk to lose 
your phone lines!!!
