This works with most of our providers.</div><div><br></div><div>The issue is as Calvin has listed. You need to have knowledge of how to bill, and that’s especially important when the remote party is the one doing the billing. So ultimately, you need to send a non-TF number in the ANI header and the Caller-ID would have the Toll-Free number. This is allowed behavior with most carriers.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> "Calvin E." <<a href="mailto:calvine@gmail.com">calvine@gmail.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Monday, April 20, 2015 at 10:06 AM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> Shripal Daphtary <<a href="mailto:shripald@gmail.com">shripald@gmail.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Cc: </span> "<a href="mailto:VoiceOps@voiceops.org">VoiceOps@voiceops.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:VoiceOps@voiceops.org">VoiceOps@voiceops.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> Re: [VoiceOps] Toll Free as Outbound CLID<br></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr">From the perspective of a wholesale VoIP provider, we do see Toll Free ANI causing some problems:<div><br></div><div>Routing - some carriers will reject these calls, which can result in traffic connecting at a higher LCR position and therefore less margin.</div><div>Rating - TF ANI may result in calls being billed under "indeterminate jurisdiction", which is typically the higher of the interstate and intrastate rates or some 3rd penalty rate.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 20, 2015 at 5:13 AM, Shripal Daphtary <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:shripald@gmail.com" target="_blank">shripald@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello everyone, <div><br></div><div>i'm just wondering if there is a legal/regulatory issue with having a TFN as the outbound CLID for a customer on our hosted platform(s). </div><div><br></div><div>On the broadworks, the system won't even allow for it.
