In the UK, the charging bands for each band of numbers is publically available information - the service provider can know accurately what they will be billed for each charge band. i.e. http://www.serviceview.bt.com/list/current/docs/Call_Charges.boo/16321.htm http://www.serviceview.bt.com/list/current/docs/Call_Charges.boo/00165.htm Of course these are BT retail rates but I fully expect wholesale rates based on call prefix will be available for carriers / ITSP Cheers, Gavin. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
