Yes. Generally these services are designed to support calls from heavily populated metropolitan areas. Calls from outside the main population centers for a city/country are not guaranteed.

Examples of restrictions include resale of service, use as calling cards, debit cards, pre-paid calling cards, call-back services, operator assisted calling, dial-tone, interactive voice response services, third country termination (beyond the U.S.), and conferencing. If a customer provides these services from a country that has a specific restriction for some or all of these applications, the customer number could be cut-off and another number will not be resissued to that customer by the Foreign Telephone Administration. AccessLine makes no representation that the policies and limitations posted here are comprehensive or current and we assume no liability for losses that the customer may incur as a result of international numbers being disconnected or interrupted by Foreign Telephone Administrations. Policies and dialing patterns may change at the discretion of foreign telephone administrators without notice.
