    <p>Thank you for posting this Sippio web page.  I don't really
      understand the things that Sippio says on this page, but the
      general impression one gets from the Sippio web page is that two
      or three independent issues are presenting themselves for
      telephone calls to and from China and to and from Chinese
      telephone numbers (DIDs).  Again thank you for posting it.<br>

                <b><span>Subject:</span></b> [Patentpractice] impossible
                to place a telephone call to China?</span></p>
          </div>
        </div>
        <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>
