[asterisk-users] Billing number vs. CallerID number | Asterisk 11.5.1

[Steve Totaro]

Gateway computers rejects calls like this.  I was informed that their
carrier rejects the calls because they cannot accurately bill.

It seems pretty silly with voip and number portability.

Thanks,
Steve T

like your CID spoofing they might bill the call to a default number on the

calling a toll free number.  In that case, occasionally, the call fails.
 However, should we send a correctly formatted npanxx of a local number,
the call completes.
