Re: [VoiceOps] No-commit international calling

Just wanted to add some more details to what Dovid mentioned. Many European countries do offer a non surcharge rate for US and Canada originated traffic. There are a few countries that put US/Canada in a different bucket where there is a surcharge, but its not the maximum. Then there are some
