Routing GOOG411

Wow! All direct tests for me worked, but when mapped to 411 didn't until recent.

666 should be to dial most Mother-In-Laws, but mine is an angel!

What happens if someone routes over 911? (I don't want to try)

A Google employee shows up at the door and puts the paddles on your chest with callous disregard for the joules used or required.;)

routing 411 to 8004664411 seemed to work for me
however there was not a duration recorded for such call (in my call history)
Has anyone noticed the same behaviour?

YesI have the same experience. There has to be a difference in the way the call is:
1. routed
2. terminated
That causes it to work sometimes and fail other times.
I have observed that if I dial Goog411 using a call route, it never shows a time in my call history. If I dial it directly, it shows as a normal call.
Could just be a quirk of the call detail recorder not coded correctly to capture calls placed that way.

I thought I told you not to reveal our scam, now they will shut us down for sure......;)
Yes I see your point,

1.buy a metered subscription
2.make all or your calls that will generate huge traffic into "call routes"
3. circumvent billing system
4.enjoy unlimited rates at a lower price point.

You think Tim is reading this and has alerted the Voip authorities....?

Anyway, I also have encountered the blank call log issue when making certain toll free calls.

When the call to Goog 411 fails = no entry in the log
When it goes through = normal entry and I have observed the same for those 800, 888, 877, 866 calls occasionally.

Hey for .32 cents a day I am not complaining although with all the phone lines we have in the house, my wife thinks I am crazy. :)

Does it record if an international call is routed thusly? A billing hole it may be?

don't you give them more ideas:p
j/k
it seems that Tim has it fixed now
just tried 411 mapped to goog411, 611 mapped to 800.555.8355
both entries' durations showed up in my call log
