I've encountered several toll free numbers (like the BellSouth DSG) which
can no longer be dialed from Gainesville, FL roughly coinciding with
Katrina slamming the Gulf Coast. I finally called BellSouth (the local
ILEC) and asked what was up, as I can't get through from Gainesville, but
I can if I use our VOIP network to route the calls out through other
cities in FL (or if I use my Cingular cell phone).
According to BellSouth repair, it's a Sprint call routing problem. I
found it amusing and unlikely that BellSouth's DSG would use Sprint for
their phone lines.
Is anyone aware of Sprint having LD voice routing issues, probably a
result of Katrina damage?
