they're terminating back to that same tandem regardless of if it's from you or IQ, or whoever. Try the same call with different ANI's, Different results? Maybe the end user is subscribed to some service that is blocking the call..etc.</span></p>

phone numbers on our network are fine. Two of the numbers are with Frontier, just another ratecenter off of that tandem. The third we know of goes to VZW.
