Re: You can plotz with POTS.

As those outbound Voip calls, displaying my Verizon number, travel over Verizon switches, might Verizon be picking them up and charging me message units for them?

That may sound bizarre but it's the only thing that I can think of....
This can and DOES happen.

OK, let me expand. Basically what is most likely happening is your calls are being delivered to the destination over the PSTN. The called party then thinks it's Verizon doing the calling, and slaps Verizon with a bill for reciprocal compensation even though they shouldn't. Verizon has no clue and bills you for these calls.

In other words- you might want to use a different outgoing Caller ID.

Is there any benefit for using Future/Nine in this regard, or would all providers be subject to the same issue?
