is "illegal termination" when you funnel calls via VoIP to some local mobile network operators using sim cards usually provided to customers? like lets say to avoid billing it like a call into another network?
- Scoundreller 5y agoThat’s one example, yes. In some places that may be illegal, in other places, just a breach of contract. Lots of interesting contraptions on AliExpress with 64 SIMs in it. Other times, international traffic is supposed to pay more than domestic traffic (governments use it as a source of revenue), but it works on the honour system at some telecoms. Or someone is letting your traffic appear as coming from a telecom’s no-cost peer, even though you’re not their peer and are supposed to be buying termination. In these cases, you’re unlikely to get working callerID because that would make it too easy to trace the true origination.
