Carriers know who originated the call. There are reciprocal compensation deals between the carriers to terminate call on their networks. They know exactly who originated the call because someone is paying for it. Calls aren’t free. Rural areas are especially pricey to terminate calls too which is how freeconference.com exists.
- EricE 5y agoVOIP gateways upended that end to end accountability. I suppose the baby bells could just refuse all calls from VOIP gateways further relegating them to irrelevance. Good luck ever convincing a cell phone provider to do that. Actually if phone providers would prefix calls from VOIP gateways with an asterix then I could set up a rule to just force all of those to voicemail by default. Would probably kill 90% of the bogus calls. Hell I'd pay an extra $5 a month for that feature.
