ANI2. It's how we do it at Asterlink, we get a two digit numerical value
that will tell us if you're calling from a payphone, special phone, Canada,
whatever... And we block based on that. This is over a regular PRI.

Without SS7 signaling, how do you determine if the caller is a payphone?

It costs a toll-free number provider extra for a payphone to call that

up their capacity with calls that generate no revenue.

Subject: [Asterisk-biz] Verizon Pre-paid Calling Card

I was looking at a Verizon calling card at the 7-11. Besides the whopping 79¢ call setup fee, I noticed it does not allow calls to toll-free numbers. Is this a marketing ploy, or is there a financial reason they won't complete
calls to 800,888,877, etc.  I thought toll free meant toll free.

Also, there is a 50¢ surcharge for calls from payphones. What reason would
they have for this?
