hi! seems like regtp (.de regulator) starts to proceed against voip providers using +49 numbers for voip. a german article: http://golem.de/0408/33112.html basically the article says that regtp approached two of the more-well-known voip providers in germany and ordered them to stop using +49 numbers for voip users that 'are not located in the region of the number' (i.e. a 'user from duesseldorf' (i have no information on what regtp thinks that means) is not allowed to get a number from hamburg). the german non-regional prefix is currently still not available. so basically that means that german voip providers cannot use +49 numbers anymore. a non-german gateway or gateway-provider might help - sorry carsten, your folks might soon have to dial a foreign-cc-number to reach you from pstn via voip... i beleive the two providers are present here - if so, any further comments/info from that side would of course be more than interesting... :) kind regards, Chris Heinze
