Virtual Toll Free and Mobiles

Grahame · 12-12-2007, 06:49 PM

I know this is going be stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyway.

I have a web site which receives enquiries from around the world ( mostly US, UK, Europe and Australia ). Voxalot's Virtual Toll Free button is therefore a useful tool to put this site.

Question is, how can I create a dial plan which blocks calls from mobiles (and premium numbers e.g UK 08 ) and will only make/accept calls from normal geographic landlines.

I don't mind paying 1 centime/penny a minute but am not prepared to pay Providers mobile rates.

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Find the Dial Plan that matches the number(s) you want to exclude, and edit it.

There is a Yes/No combo-box that allows you to specify whether this dial plan is applicable for Virtual Toll Free.

Grahame,

You are going to have to do this each country separately and set allowed dialing prefixes. This could end up being a bit cumbersome. You may find that it is a lot easier to find a VSP that can limit your calls to certain destination. I think you could find one that gives unlimited calls for a set monthly fee and than request that all non-included destinations are blocked. Or you could get an account with a betamax (voipbuster, voipstunt, etc.) service, pay the 10 euros, and than use up all your credit before setting it for this purpose. since there is no credit on your account it will only allow calls to the included free destinations.

Thanks guys,

I did not imagine there would be an easy solution.
