Ipkall becomes unusable

RTuesday · **Ipkall becomes unusable -** 31-05-2007, 11:48

If you're using IPkall as an incoming US number (perhaps to forward to voip numbers like voipcheap etc) watch out - they've made a change that makes it unusable for most purposes.

All calls to ipkall numbers are now rejected if they don't have incoming caller id information. There's no way to turn this setting off.

Haven't fully tested which few cases might still work, but certainly calling my ipkall number from various global sims the calls get rejected, same from an international landline phone with caller id withheld (I'm currently in France).

Was nice while it lasted, but I can't see any way that ipkall.com could now be useful for anything much - even a normal private caller is liekly to withhold their number and fail to get through.
