Is it just a negotiation tactic? I mean surely they know they are going to lose and that it will cost AT& their lawyers fees as well correct?
Maybe some of the 'call forwarding' services may be barred but Free Conference etc I assume have their servers located in Iowa so are therefore entitled to the termination settlement fees.

So are they allowed to block her service from being contacted by cingular phones as well? Why isn't the FCC being called in to stop this? If they have an issue then renegotiate the rates properly through legal channels. there is a movement to halt this, alledgly its not just cingular but also qwest and others (although someone tried last night from qworst and it worked). The movement involves contacting your atty general as well as the FCC. Qwest and AT&T are also withholding payments in violation of FCC rules. This is all related to the AT&T lawsuit, which I am sure will get far uglier before it gets any better. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the VoIP provider that pays you!
