Since you are referring to R2 signaling, it works like this: The E1 R2 Call Blocking feature provides two ways to block incoming collect calls-category-based and double answer. With category-based call blocking, collect calls will be blocked based on a specific category. For example, in Brazil, collect calls arrive with a category II-8, for which the gateway should send B-7 as a response instead of an answer signal. This approach is only applicable when switches in the central office support category-based blocking.
For legacy switches that do not support category-based blocking, the double answer method is implemented to support the collect-call blocking. For an incoming collect call, the gateway will answer the call with a clearback after one second and re-answer the call after two seconds, causing the collect call to be dropped and normal calls to stay connected. This is what the referenced patches are attempting to do. This does not work in the U.S. or if you have SS7, you don't need it.

I understand these codes and my system brings them in via ss7 but as youself I don't know how to protect my network from these charges. I will follow this post to see if anybody has a fix. Rodrigo P.
