certain calls to ether appear to be blocked

i am not aware of any ether accounts being blocked from receiving calls. however after some testing it does appear that ether is blocking calls from certain sources. they only seem to be accepting calls with a valid caller ID. also calls from most voip services including earthcaller, skype, and gizmo as well as most of the option i have for free calls to USA toll free numbers now seem to be blocked. i hear a recording from ether that the number has been blocked. callback continues to be reliable. and using UK personal numbering still allows connections between any two phones in almost any country free of charge. the odd thing is this costs AT&T/ether significantly more than what they would pay allowing toll free calls.
has anyone reading this had there actual ether account blocked? if so please try to provide some details as to what you think may have caused the blockage(such as heavy use always from the same number?) so that we can thread carefully and continue to take advantage of the amazing deal.

I had created one account for myself and 2 accounts for my family. All of them are currently blocked, even though 1 of the accounts was never used.
Maybe they have detected the multiple account creation from a single ip address. Or maybe they have crosschecked the country of origin of the phone numbers and the ip address, which was different.
