  MajicJack Blocked call? Can this be fixed?

  on Can A Phone Service Provider Block Calls To Numbers It Doesn't Like?
  Email exchange to MajicJack and a telephone company that has blocked my calls. The very strange thing is that this service has ,until now, worked for me. I am awaiting a reply.

  I noticed your comments. and email address, on a board; (
  http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090904/1449236112.shtml#comments )
  and am writing about being unable to call a good friend "Al" whose "Highland Telephone Cooperative, in Monterey Virginia" is refusing a voice connection.
  I believe I have used MJ to call him in the past.
  Now not possible? Why?
  
  If it is not you "MJ" blocking my calls, then Highland Coop can be reached at the following numbers (unless of course you are using MajicJack!);

  Please note that I am trying to call a POTS line, not conferencing, as noted in the above message board.
  Just a simple phone call like your site says I should be able to call. "anywhere in the USA or Canada"
  
  You say on the blog "we do not want to block calls to anyone and so far offer to complete all calls".
  Well what about MY calls? What about my friends in Highland County Virginia? Can this be fixed?
  
  I asked the MJ folks at your sites "chat" what they can do about being blocked, and they were very vague.
  
  MJ AND Highland Telephone Coop, please let me know what is going on.
