Well, it sounds to me like that scam was of a different type: the user explicitly calling a number which was billed higher than the user expected. They reached the number they dialed. That's a billing problem, not a routing problem. (and btw, "US" carriers didn't make money off that, afaict - Caribbean ones maybe, but for the US carriers I bet it cost more money in customer service issues than it made) > While this has gotten better recently (which could be your market > forces at work), I have been in many discussions around 3GPP and OMA > where people expressed concerns that 302 handling could engender a new > wave of such problems. No doubt they can, and probably will. It's handled by policies, and such policies can be mis-configured and/or abused. Such is also the case on user endpoints, of course. -hadriel _______________________________________________ Sip mailing list https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sip This list is for NEW development of the core SIP Protocol Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for questions on current sip Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for new developments on the application of sip
