I can dial local 10-digit, and regular toll calls (11 digit), but calls to 1-800,866,877,888 are not allowed through. Jim, I've had the my carrier refuse calls where I've sent a toll free as CallerID on my PRI service. They said it was because they needed a valid billable number. Try sending your local BTN as callerID and see if that helps. Make sure your numbering plan (I think it's DialPlan in zapata) is set right too, maybe they're not reading it right. Aside: Their explanation seems a bit funny to me because I thought that there were two fields in the ISDN spec for that purpose. IE If I call you with CallerID blocked, you can still do a malicious call trace and the carrier can figure out who I am. If they can use it for malicious call trace, why don't the use it for billing? That doesn't make sense to me. Hope it helps, Dave -- David Donovan Consultant Fulcrum Solutions -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
