So, if my telco can bill the callers for those premium calls, they surely know who they are, or at least know where they are sending the bill and getting payment from.
You are mistaken, billing is very hard. Telcos show this regularly.
For anyone who hasn't been paying attention, there are no 900 numbers any more, the last carrier having exited the business a few years back. As far as I can tell there are no premium rate NXX-976 numbers either. The advent of cell phones made them unworkable, since there's no way to charge anything back to a prepaid phone. -- Regards, John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly
