I'm curious about a few things, too. For one, how do the voice prompts sounds? The default prompts for Asterisk always sound generic and dull, so I decided to make my own. Tell me if you like them. Secondly, why is it when you dial an AT&T toll-free number, and spoof any number in the 999 NPA, it won't accept the call? You can check if it's an AT&T number with a RESPORG lookup service, like 800-337-4194. Finally, What do you think?

However, if I put a 10 digit number, with or without a 1 in front of it, it get's rejected.

By the way, I like the answer tone. Reminds me of the old days with my MCI and Sprint calling cards

I see what you mean when you spoof with a NPA of 999 for an AT&T toll free #. You get a rejection recording from the 4E that the VOIP service dumps on to the PSTN saying that the call is "not available from your calling area", giving a trailer code for the 4E in Charlotte, NC.
Other than that, it appears to work rather well. Thank you for the service.

Yeah, I had it set to just return the tone if you give it something invalid. Try it again, I told it to be a tad less vague.
OK, I got it to work this time

Also, I've been having a few problems with abuse. After a certain retard felt the need to call the suicide hotline every day, I've felt compelled to block a few numbers. No, I don't look at what you call, but I keep the console window open to make sure everything is working right, and if I see unusual amounts of traffic, it'll get my attention.
But anyway, that's the least of my worries. Not too long ago, a certain DID provider accused me of running a calling card service on my number. How'd they come to this conclusion? My guess is they like to listen to calls in their spare time. To say the least, I wrote back to them and they never replied, but I thought it'd be worth mentioning that there's a chance they might be listening.
This has gotten to be more trouble than it's worth to maintain, but hopefully these issues will all become a thing of the past.

I can't seem to reach the service anymore. Each time I try the access number, all I'm getting is reorder. Did you take it down?

In the meantime, does anybody know of a provider that gives free calls to 800 numbers that I can fail over to?

InPhonex has free calls to toll free #'s. I don't think they allow you to set outgoing CID though.

I am surprise that you posted one up here (even though it does have limitations).
I think it is cool that you posted it, but I just want to say, do not let all your cats out of the bag. That number could be shut down for no apparent reason. Happen to one of my servers.
I will keep this in back of my mind though.
Thanks

Thanks for the advice. In all honesty, though, it wouldn't be much of a problem for me on a personal level if it got shut down. It'd be disappointing, sure, and I'd feel bad that I couldn't hold up to keeping a service for the community running, but getting it running instead of just posting an extender or something like that was just an impulse, and a curiosity I had - how much usage would something like this get under a time of inactivity in the scene?
UPDATE: Even though the downtime turned out to be a problem on my part, I added a couple of other carriers onto the list. If the call to the first route fails, it'll let you know, and then try the other routes. If you want to force it into using another route, there's two new extensions at the main menu. 7967224 will make sip.tollfreegateway.com the first carrier the equipment tries, and 7967223 will make tf.callwithus.com the first. If anybody feels like playing with them, sip.tollfreegateway.com dials out somewhere in the 704 area (probably Charlotte) of North Carolina, while tf.callwithus.com places them from Redding, California. Major props to JmanA9 for pointing these two out to me.
