asterisk users - Aug 2004 - Asterisk & MyPhoneCompany.com (aka Talk(n))

They say on their website that they allow you to use your own device
provided you give them the MAC address. Has anyone tried using * with it?
Looks like they have quite a few rate centers and also phone support...
Their website is horrible though...

Just wondering, it'd be good to get user experiences from different
providers other than IconnectHere and BroadVoice...

    -Chris

I looked at BroadVoice and thought about doing it, but does * actually
have a MAC address? And do they mean the MAC address of my * box's NIC?
We have a router between the * and the internet, do they want the MAC of
my router?

I signed up for BV and entered everything, to the best of my knowledge,
in the sip.conf and extensions.conf file, but am having problems getting
it to connect.  If someone could show me an example of their working BV
sip.conf that would be greatly appreciated.  I am certain that I have
the extensions.conf correct since I can see it in the console (see
below).

I see these WARNING messages when I go to make the call (that is to a
line that matches those dialing plans).  I have made certain that I am
using the correct username/passwords that were sent to me in the
activation email.

BroadVoice DOES work, if you sign up with their BYOD plan, and you
select
"other device" it dosen't require you to enter a MAC... Several
people
in
the list including myself use BroadVoice with *.

I am very happy with it and I'd be more than willing to help you set it
up
if you need it! :)

Also many have reported that IconnectHere works with *, a while ago
people
were complaining of DTMF problems I don't know if this was ever
resolved.
Obviously without inbound DTMF, using * would be pretty useless...

I just wanted to know if people have tried some of these "Other Guys"
as
*
providers, I'm trying to come up with a list of providers (SIP and IAX)
that
work well with *... I kinda want to make a handbook of sorts for some
friends who want to play with *...
