Interesting response there Atis. I'm glad you were able to help Nikhil out for free. I for one don't have free DIDs and anyone can verify that I indeed pay $1 setup fee to globalpops per DID(toll-free or otherwise).
All I asked was for _my operational fee_ ($1 + whatever minutes he uses charged at 0.004c) and I was to make no profit out of this for a person I don't even know to begin with to allow them to use my switch. However, with responses like yours I think I'll be more conservative in regards to whom I offer my help next time. Regards, Igor H.
