Hello All, I saw some coverage of this in the list archive but no one seems to have posted a resolution. I am using Asterisk@Home 0.06 and when I get a call from LiveVoip over IAX I dump it into my IVR.>From there the call is routed to groups based upon input.However, there is no ringback indicated to the IAX caller. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Thanks, Wiley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Even though there are many of us using IAX with other providers with no problems. Just don't complain too much as they will email you and tell you that if you do not like it to just cancel. Or, as one user noted here, it seemed that his account was just deleted without any contact. Not sure if that is really what happened or not. But the email contact telling you to cancel will. They did it to me.. Robert
Greaaaatt. This should be loads of fun then... 8( I have noticed what I can only describe a negative undertone with several VoIP poviders. Not an easy customer? We don't want you. Things like that. The LiveVoIP website is in fact like that. There are several places on the site that just flat out say "are you customer type x?, we don't want you then". Not my way of doing business but to each their own. I guess as long as they service my account and provide a good voip connection it won't mean much to me.

I.e. use the 'r' option on the dial command etc. That is the way some isdn lines etc work. Peter
I am pretty sure that AAH is adding that automatically. I am checking it out right now. Thank you for the poitner!

Hmm... It could be a simple mistake of course. Is it safe to assume that the host server on their side is Asterisk as well? I assume there are no telco level devices that offer IAX. Could be wrong. If that is the case, it should be easy to infer what is wrong on their side. Obviously someone here has mated a couple of Asterisk boxes before. What would have to be set wrong on their side for the ring tone not to pass? Once that is known, LiveVoIP users can send them the request to fix that particular problem. Thanks!

No matter whether you use the "r" option or not, you never get ringback through LiveVoIP. And they consistently point the finger at * rather that trying to solve the problem. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
I agree totally. I just have never seen anyone post it on their site so brazenly.

They're providing wholesale VOIP at wholesale prices. Seriously, do the math -- If you're buying an inbound 800# from them, you could get away with spending only $2.50/month ($29.95 prepaid, expires in a year). And if you used these $2.50 to receive 200 incoming minutes a month, they'll make maybe $1 on you (assuming 1.27c/min sale vs. 0.8c/min cost). If it takes them more than ONE MINUTE/MONTH to support you, they've already blown their profit.

I have been on the list and the archive as I stated. Saw the emails but never saw any resolution given as I stated. In case you did not notice, I am suggesting that we can figure out what the problem on their side is and give them the resolution. In that way the problem gets solved and we all benefit. They may honestly believe nothing is wrong. We should focus on solving the problem. Read the other posts before you issue a flame over checking the list. Escpecially since you did not read the list yourself to see my other post or even the fact that I am suggesting we find the problem. I am absolutely fed up with people like you bouncing out these shitty replies like you own the list. If you don't like my question. Delete it. If you don't want to answer. Don't answer. If all you have to say is negative prattling, keep it to yourself.

Excellent thing to hear. I am glad there are positives on this site as well as teh warnings. Now to get the ringback issue resolved.... Using m switch to get MOH is OK but there has to be alogical reason this is occuring adn a way to resolve.

I happen to like their "no-nonsense" approach on their web site of getting your attention. It sort of resembles some of the postings on this list relative to 'did you try to look for doc'. Overall, I'd give livevoip high marks in both quality and service. Let's hope they can keep it up. :) _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
