[LetMeKnow]

Hello,
I can't say the " Works only if some one is offering unmetered only service
or just doing it for fun. If it metered service like calling cards,
termination or metered DID etc, then this can be* really bad*."
If the Service providers use the Sip-B2BUA inside the Sip-Proxy servers.
then, it sounds Good.

Thanks & Regards
