Hi, CB!
Just for the record - as a healthcare professional - I would like to offer a couple of points:

Well, as if things weren't confusing enough, people on the Blue side (actually by emails and PM's) are saying time change is tonight. They said "It is always Thursday night"!

Go figure.

I may be wrong but I think you will find the ban is on all international calls using a mobile phone and a service like Skype.
