Hi. There is not much info on the FWD site about this. What codecs do they use? When I try to connect with X-Lite, it works with GSM. When I try to call out with *, it wants G729. I have disallow=all and allow=gsm in the sip.conf. I end up getting errors: Unable to find a path from G729A to GSM Unable to find a path from GSM to G729A What's up with that? I was able to make a call once before from * to FWD, but I've done a lot of updating/redoing so I lost my configs..... What else is there to this? I saw a mention that FWD uses G729 on the 'lite service' -- what's the 'lite service'? I'm able to use GSM with X-Lite so why not *? I've also tried allowing ALAW and ULAW (which are the only codecs available in SJPhone -- which also works). I also get similar errors that it cant convert G729 To ALAW/ULAW.

Unfortunately that didn't work. I think my problem is that I don't have G729 installed. I haven't purchased a license for it. I see this: [format_g729.so] => (Raw G729 data) but of course it can't translate is what the error is from. So what I'm trying to figure out is why FWD on * requires G729, but not on SJPhone or X-Lite.

Starts to make sense now. I was dialing through the console when I got it to work. I was trying to dial through Gnophone via IAX to Asterisk then SIP to FWD so I bet it's trying to force GSM which FWD doesn't allow. Makes sense now. I'll try to dial through the console again and through SJPhone -> Asterisk -> FWD. I haven't gotten that far yet.
