asterisk users - Apr 2005 - Programing a call forward feature to cel phones

Guys.

I just programed a feature that allows any extension to be forwarded to any
outside number, for example, forward your extension 201 to any number
outside (via zap) so that if somebody calls your extension either from
inside out outside (using another zap we have) it gets directed.

Problem I have is that if somebody using a cel phone calls in and gets
directed to my extension which in turn is directed to my cel phone, the call
comes thru but after 2 seconds, the call gets all garbled and with a sound
like brrrrrrrrrrrr and the caller cant be heard anymore.

Anybody has any idea why this is happening?

Maybe the caller is cold?

Sorry.

intermitent sound like when you are to lose a cel phone connection.

Ah...and the cellphone has range?

Normally I would say that seeing as you normally hear in on a cell phone 
it would likely be that end, but maybe they are just playing back the 
last bit of audio data repeatedly until they get another one.

How are you connecting to the cell phone?

What do you see in the Asterisk console?

How is the call getting to your cellphone?

What happens if you dial straight from your Asterisk box to your Cellphone?

What happens if you dial another cellphone?

Do you have any problems when you dial in from you cellphone to Asterisk?

What happens if you send the call to another land line instead?

I know I saw something about not using GSM codecs when on cell phones, could
this be the case?
The 2 second delay, well unfortunately all cell's have about a .5 second
delay on their own, so that may be what you are hearing.  You just need to learn
how to talk like you are on an international call...

Curious,

How did you do the forward? Was it a script or programming in C?

Any output from debug?

No problem dialing another cell phone from asterisk or incoming from cel
phone, etc.

Console says nothing.

The forwarded call is been directed using zap (x100)

So nothing looks wrong... But still...cant figure out why forwarding the
call to a cel phone via zap gets those weird sounds after 2 seconds of
talking and why this happens just when redirecting to a cel phone. Seems
that if you redirect to a land line is ok.

Also, sometimes, when in a call, any call (cel, land line, etc) sometimes a
weird sound much like the one I mentioned kicks in the call and I cant get
the caller because of the sound and he cant listen to me, so I need to hit
flash and then flash again and the call continues without the sounds...
Anybody seen that before? Could it be asterisk or the x100? Maybe worth
mentioning, that I use Monitor to records all calls... Could that be it ?

What have you got for rxgain and txgain for the channels that are going 
out over the PSTN?

It sounds to me like you have echo above 0dB which would mean that it 
would get louder with each iteration.

This could be achieved by having bad echo as well as having the gains 
set too high.

Cool sound file!  Mind if I use it in an industrial techno song?

:)

:) go ahead and send me a copy when you are done :)

My gains are around 6 so you might be right... Maybe lowering them to 3 or
so...
