Double check with Sprint whether or not your contract entitles you too 8XX access. We had the same problem a while back. They would have to open your PRI translation at their end to allow in these calls.
As for the release code, many carriers are notorious for sending back out the wrong release code for the wrong reasons. But after seeing the numerous different possibilities that there are for a call failure, I can understand why. It's a task and a half to match them all up just the right way.

I can dial local 10-digit, and regular toll calls (11 digit), but calls to 1-800,866,877,888 are not allowed through. The call fails as follows: OSAAST01*CLI> -- Executing Dial("SIP/5611-9826", "ZAP/G1/18772673835|120") in new stack -- Requested transfer capability: 0x00 - SPEECH -- Called G1/18772673835 -- Zap/22-1 is proceeding passing it to SIP/5611-9826 -- PROGRESS with cause code 41 received -- Zap/22-1 is making progress passing it to SIP/5611-9826 OSAAST01*CLI> The cause code 41 is the difference, as it does not appear on any other type of external call. A lookup of the term gives: Cause No. 41 - temporary failure [Q.850] This cause indicates that the network is not functioning correctly and that the condition is no likely to last a long period of time; e.g. the user may wish to try another call attempt almost immediately. Which does not make sense to me. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm hoping it's an obscure setting in zapata.conf that one normally wouldn't use. It should be noted that regular long distance calls are intercepted by a tone that requires the caller to enter a password. Since toll-free numbers are dialed with a 1-NXX the same as normal toll calls, there must be some process that routes the toll free calls differently, but why the call fails with that error is not clear to me. Any experience or advice would be appreciated. Jim -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
