Hey Don, How are you? I may be heading your way in the next month or so. Have to meet with a guy in Eden Prairie, and stop off at my brother/sisterm-in-law's as well. Got a question for you - with TBCT, who pays for the call once it is transferred? Still me as the owner of the trunk? Lets say I take a call that was dialled locally (caller believes this is "free"), and I do a TBCT to an international destination, and they stay on the line for ten minutes. Who gets the bill?

My, how embarrassing. I of course meant that as a personal message to Don. But if anyone else knows the answer, I'm interested! lol Cheers, j On 03/18/2015 10:02 AM, Jeff LaCoursiere wrote:> > Hey Don, > > How are you? I may be heading your way in the next month or so.

The way it's expected to work: Inbound call to our toll-free number, we pay for the call TO US until terminated Inbound call to our local number, caller pays for the call TO US until terminated (if long distance charges apply for caller) In either case, we pay for the outbound call if long distance charges apply As a practical matter, some carriers don't have this figured out very well, so anything could happen! --Don On 03/18/2015 10:02 AM, Jeff LaCoursiere wrote: Got a question for you - with TBCT, who pays for the call once it is transferred?
