Oh, but they have 800 capability. Just ask GE who has exported thier collection efforts to India. Sorry, that don't work. And typically the internation call block is for outbound, not inbound.

Are you telling me that there is no switch at our shores? Satellite based systems have to have a downlink station. Undersea cable has to come ashore somewhere. Even the old HF links have to have a communications center.

You mention 800 capability. What is to stop the local phone service from blocking all 800 numbers if that is the choice of the customer? If there are a 800 numbers that you do receive calls from, you can put them in as exceptions.
