How do you guys deal with voip problems? do you have multiple backups such as land lines, and different voip providers? Regards, GM
Seems to be the norm in most cases.... I dial out on one ITSP who seems to always have good dialing with no issues... I receive on another that gives me DIDs and 800s (still working out kinks)...

The quick and dirty method is to have the main lines come in over PSTN lines, this can then be call-forwarded to a VOIP provider. This makes it simple to change VOIP providers on-the-fly as well as turn off forwarding and let the PSTN line come into the PBX. Setting up failover on outbound calls through multiple providers is relativly simple but keeping the main business number pointing to whatever service you are using is the tricky part. -Kerry -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Gerard Marcel Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 1:04 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] voip problems How do you guys deal with voip problems? do you have multiple backups such as land lines, and different voip providers?

In that case, where is the savings on telephone bills?

(I'm a past user, but not any more.) Guess I'd have to question why someone would commit a business to using an "unsupported" service that is somewhat unstable, has limited codec support, and that relies on the asterisk-user list for support. Someone else already mentioned the need for backup arrangements. What do I use? livevoip.com for 800 number, teliax.com for did's, and, pstn analog's for backup and some outgoing calls. I can guarantee not all three will be down at the same time (except for the local fiber seeking backhoe). :)
