[VoiceOps] Unique DIDs vs. Custom extensions

[Jay Ashworth]

Does anyone here have any frigging common sense?

If I, the middle party, receive a call, and 2BCT it to *a number I don't
have to pay a measured rate for*, then I don't have to pay a measured rate
for it.

I would have thought it was pretty clear that if the forward number was
toll, you'd pay for it.

But I guess not.

Cheers,
