white is fully legal, you generally get CLID and other goodies that way. Black is not legal, you usually get random drop outs, the carrier randomly drops the route, etc. This includes everything from stolen service, people getting service on credit and not paying their bill, operation in places where its not legal to do voip so they obfuscate where the call originated from, etc. Grey is somewhere in between, its shady but not overtly illegal and the quality can be sketchy. These can also vanish instantly without warning. Some times its just an abuse of a stupid carrier who will figure things out at some point, and sometimes they use clever games to reduce the price of the call through methods that may not always work. With that said there are some black routes that have amazing quality, there are some white that have poor quality. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
