Re: [Broadvox Direct] Can't call 1-866 and 1-877 This is common to many VoIP services I think.
I could not call an 866 number either.
In my case the toll free number is geographically restricted.
Also these type of calls appear to be
coming from an entirely different area than where placed.
(Error message was your call cannot be reached from your area.
same call works fine on POTS line in my area.)
You may be able to get a non toll free number for your ISP.
(which is covered in your VoIP plan).
As an example dial 18004444444 on your VoIP phone and you
will hear the number they think you are calling from.
Other non toll free calls appear to get correct information on my VoIP service. |

It's odd, another number is 1-800-884-7097 and they give me different numbers. One gives me my correct number (the 7097 one) and the all fours one gives me an Ann Arbor, MI number where my VoIP host is located. I have a toll free number, so it may be different for me.

No I mean they do not have numers into my area code (418). They gave me 10-12 business day to find one. |
