[VoiceOps] Troubles calling those free conference services

[Frank Bulk]

Except your customer may want to complete calls.

Three times in the last two months I've had to work with Bell Canada who had
to, in turn, work with their LD provider in the U.S., so that people who use
Bell Canada for long distance can complete calls in our area.   My family
lives in Ontario and likes to call me from time to time.

Frank, some would argue - although, it seems, contrarily to the  
direction of prevailing FCC Thought the last few years - that the  
carriers have to provide the carriage, not VoIP providers who buy from  
them. :-) At least, that strikes me as a fine justification for, "If  
none of my LD carriers will complete calls to Fort Gamesmanship, Iowa,  
that's not my problem."
