to place a telephone call to China?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Today I picked up my office phone and tried to dial the
telephone number of a patent firm in China. The country
code is 86, of course (China) and the next couple of digits
are 10 (for Beijing). I got a fast busy signal.</span></p>
<p><span>I opened a ticket with our telephone company
(VOIP.MS). What I heard back was a surprise:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>Due to new regulations in China currently VoIP calls
aren't connecting to the called destinations.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>This makes it sound like it's not just me. Maybe
nobody from anywhere in the world is able to place telephone
calls to China?</span></p>
<p><span>Have others run into this?</span></p>
