One strange thing I've noticed with Talk Loop is that when I call some
numbers I get a recording telling that the party does not accept calls
from blocked numbers, then I have to state my name, and the system
announces me to the called party who decides whether or not to accept
the call. However the called party swears up and down that they do not
have any such service that blocks calls from any number (I'm calling
into BellSouth in Florida).
