Default How can a toll-free number fail on landlines & VOIP but not on cellphones?

I'm trying to call ZTE Customer Support USA, during normal
business hours, which has only one toll-free telephone number,
which is listed athttp://www.zteusa.com/contact-us/as:
*1-877-817-1759


Inexplicably, every time I call that toll-free number from a
California landline, or from VOIP, the calling sequence always
ends up in undecipherable Chinese (see video above for proof).


However, if I call from a cellphone, the exact same
calling sequence always ends up in English, as expected.


Q: Telephonically, how can this possibly be happening to me?


PS: Any ideas Jeff Liebermann?


called from Arizona landline and got a menu that asked me to press "1"
for English.

Somehow bypassing that menu?- Hide quoted text -

I tried from my U S Cellular cellphone and had exact same experience
as Mr. Macy.
