involved and less flexible; usually a single E.164 number (or a involved and less flexible; usually a single E.164 number (or a
fixed range of numbers) is associated with each PSTN access. Thus fixed range of numbers) is associated with each PSTN access. Thus
it is not possible to use a "sacrificial" phone number. it is not possible to use a "sacrificial" phone number.
