Voice service providers have every right to restrict use of service to the service that they offer and they usually do through the service agreements they offer to consumers. Enterprises also have the same right to protect the assets of the business and focus them on appropriate business activities supporting the goals of the business. So, this is not a case where a person who has legitimately paid for service being denied access to that service. However, there is no denying that network service providers can behave illegally just as the users of their service can behave illegally. It just does not happen as often.
