Toronto is an excellent VPN endpoint choice for a foreign scammer to 
appear from.


Honestly, it sounds like voip.ms is doing a good job of trying to 
restrict scams, telemarketing, etc. from using their services.


Which is what what we want - so tired of phone companies passing through 
telemarketing scams and shrugging it off as though there's no way they 
can trace the source.


This is a good thing that voip.ms is doing.


Also, why even bother using a VPN through Toronto to pay for a service 
such as this?  Can't see any benefit, am I missing something?

Normal phone companies all know where you live as well as your phone 
number...
