[Asterisk-Users] Re: Braodvoice - UK Non Geographic Numbers

[Russell Horn]

Broadvoice could connect to non geographic numbers without difficulty
until the fourth week of May 2005.

I can call non-geographic numbers from my land line in the US, my
mobile phone and from any calling card I have tried.  This isn't an
issue with BT but with broadvoice and those they contract to supply
connections to the UK PSTN.
