Special Notes
Due to local regulations in individual countries, voice calls that carry a local CLI (Caller Line Identification) of the destination country, or that carry no CLI at all, may be rejected by local operators. Operators do this to protect their subscribers from unwanted, malicious, or spoofed calls, since calls with a local CLI should not be entering a country through its international exchanges.
Unfortunately, due to the large number of network operators and each country’s changing regulations, such calls may stop working without prior notice. For that reason, we recommend using an international CLI, or one from a country other than the destination country, for your calls.
If your business requires a local CLI, please feel free to contact your account manager or sales representative at hello@hipcall.com to discuss your use case further.
