    List of nations that cannot be called (oversea) with cell phones

    When I was in CS I know there was a list of some nations that were blacklisted with Bell Mobility cell phones (can receive call from there but cannot call there) even with the oversea (OVS) feature.

    Anyone have it ?


    Or more simply: Is Algeria on the list of blaclisted nations ?

    Thank you.

    Iceland?! Is there much fraud involved with that country?!

    I'm sure those corner-store phone cards would circumvent the problem. And likely offer better rates anyway.

    heh, i don't know why i tossed that in but pretty much any country with non conformist groups (terrorists are one of them) would be blacklisted.
