Recently the traffic originated from certain countries terminating in the some destination networks will be priced $10 in some cases. To avoid this issue we sellers may use the below feature to block such traffic originating from certain caller ids (CLID).

## Example of  caller id surcharge applied:

Please be aware that networks in  **SAUDI ARABIA,**   **UNITED ARAB EMIRATES ** and  **TURKEY MOBILE TURKCELL**  are charging   for calls sent with a blank or manipulated caller id (CLI).

Soon carriers will also take the necessary precautions to ensure that any traffic with “No Caller ID” or “short Caller ID” are priced 10 $, however if a call is sent with what appears to be a valid A number, but is later shown by the terminating network to be a manipulated or modified A number (e.g. over-stamped), they reserve the right to recalculate the billing for those calls. You may [buy a phone number](https://members.telecomsxchange.com/) and use it when sending out calls if you’re unsure if your caller ids are:

| **Destination** | **Origination** |
| Saudi Arabia (+966) | Algeria (+213) |
|   
 | Tunisia (+216) |

| **Destination** | **Origination** |
| United Arab Emirates (+971) | Algeria (+213) |
|   | Tunisia (+216) |

| **Destination** | **Origination** |
| TURKEY MOBILE TURKCELL  | Algeria (+213) |
|   | Tunisia (+216) |
|   | Morocco(+212) |
|   | Inmarsat Satellite(+87) |
|   | Global Satellite (+881) |
|   | Global Satellite (+882) |
|   | Global Satellite (+883) |
|   | Global Satellite (+884) |
|   | Global Satellite (+885) |
|   | Global Satellite (+887) |
|   | Global Satellite (+888) |
|   | Global Satellite (+889) |
