Guys. Can you dial 800 and 888 toll free numbers using FWD? how do you dial them cause I tried using 1800xxxxx and 1888xxxxx and I simply get a "nobody can asnwer the call" signal on asterisk. Can you dial 800 toll free from FWD?

Last time I looked, there was a page giving the codes to call various countries' tollfree numbers and IIRC the one for USA 800 is *. I just now dialed 393*18005551212 on my box and got through (393 being my code for FWD/SIP)
Yeah, but you have to preface it with * I believe. I quit using fwd to dial 800#'s when I got my iaxtel account, but I believe * was the key to dial (then again, the message used to say "You must first dial *before dialing...", so maybe they've taken it off.. If so, iaxtel.com :) Anton Krall wrote:> Guys. > > Can you dial 800 and 888 toll free numbers using FWD? how do you dial them > cause I tried using 1800xxxxx and 1888xxxxx and I simply get a "nobody can > asnwer the call" signal on asterisk. > > Can you dial 800 toll free from FWD? > > _______________________________________________ > 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 >
Done! Thx Wilson, there was a change on some other file that was passing the FWDGW variable to the dialplan and I missed that the FWD user number was been removed.
