Hello, I've noticed a consistent pattern for SIP Termination providers not completing calls to the "Free" Conference lines due to costs. What's the best way to deal with this? Are there published lists of these providers numbers that I can use to influence my LCR? Are there SIP Termination providers that explicitly deal with these lines? Thanks, Max
Pay as you go providers do not block those numbers, but providers with a fixed monthly cost do. On Tuesday 29 March 2011 13:49:14 Max Clark wrote:

Sergey, I agree that "pay as you go" providers should not block these number. What I've found however is that they do (or I should clarify by saying "wholesale" providers). I've contemplated provisioning a single PRI for this purpose to the ILEC but I'm trying to find a better way. -Max On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 11:00 AM, Sergey Okhapkin <sos@sokhapkin.dyndns.org> wrote:

I have seen term routes including the conference prefixs since not all routes take it at this point. Best to see how much of your customer basis cares about them and if it's great enough see about getting additional routes to cover that market. I'm sure someone has gone to the ILECs regarding getting capacity and reselling it via sip already.
grnvoip doesn't block them either, but does charge a premium for termination to those numbers.. -Avi On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 7:49 PM, Max Clark <max.clark@gmail.com> wrote:

Beware calling these numbers on pay as you go. I've seen rates of $0.20/min and higher (I seem to recall even seeing one at $0.40). It gets expensive for a "free" call.
