-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Greetings, I've just about got Asterisk up and running and am wondering the following. Currently, I subscribe to both Vonage and Broadvoice and as such, I've got a Sipura and Cisco ATA186. Although I'm sure this is expressly prohibited somewhere in my service agreements, can I reprogram these devices to access my own asterisk server rather than

Has anyone tried using BroadVoice for VSP? I have Asterisk configured for a home office & I've been trying to decide which VoIP provider to go with for a little while now. I had heard you could get sub $.01 calls but I have not found that to be true yet (not saying it's not possible, I just haven't found it!). Also I'm not sure if BV will support multiple lines. Any

There was a flurry of "Vonage is going to unlock SIP" activity last year; did anything productive ever come of it? Are *you* using your Vonage lines directly into Asterisk? In lieu of that, for a 4 line small business that doesn't need to pay Vonage $150 a month, who? Broadvoice? Someone else? I'm a touch unimpressed with the fact that BV's website *won't quote you

After months of BroadVoice ignoring my trouble tickets for dropped calls, delayed termination, etc., I'm throwing in the towel. While they have credited $19.95 to my account, they refuse to credit anything more, despite ALL of the problems I've had. I feel the least they could do is credit the remaining $8.61 to my account, yet they won't. I haven't really been following up on

I think I am missing the whole purposes of *. i see that it can do mainy things, but in laymans temrs I am not sure what it does. I am very proficient in Linux and would like to use * for the following: 1) I would like to get rid of my landline(verizon) and use voip as my main means to communicate on the telephone. I would like to be able to plug in my plain old phone into my linux box and

I am new to the mailing list, but I am very interested in running my small home business office phone system using Asterisk. However, Broadvoice, a VoIP provider of choice based on my research, is not available in my area. I currently use Vonage VoIP. Their website mentions nothing about being able to link to Asterisk. I was wondering if any US subscribers have been able to configure Vonage

After over a month (well, ok, no more than an hour a day :) of planning, getting hardware, tinkering and testing, I'm about to my Ultimate Home Phone System (tm) online. Connectivity to the outside world is provided by: A. 1 POTS phone line connected through an X100P ($11/month, needed to carry DSL) B. 1 Vonage ATA186 connected through an X100P (needed for the rate center :( ) C. 3 Broadvoice

Greetings. I did some digging with Google, the wiki, and on the archives, but didn't find a recent conclusive answer. If this is answered in the wiki or archives somewhere, please point me to it. I'm in the process of setting up an Asterisk box for home use. I've got a X100P card on the way. I've not decided what analog adapter(s) to get yet. The only phone service to hook up

I'm using Asterisk 1.0.4 with AMP and Broad Voice. I have that with only 5 XTen Lite phones. I'm able to call / etc with internal phones just fine. I can call outside Vonage Numbers, and other BroadVoice Numbers. I have vonage where I live (626) and can call that fine. However, other 626 numbers I get similar errors as below. However, everytime, I try to call cell phones, and or

I set up an asterisk box with a broadvoice sip connection for incoming connections it works great when I use a cell phone, vonage line, calling card to call the asterisk box, but when I try to call it from our verizon land line it is busy and asterisk logs do not show incoming call. Any ideas on what the issue is? Thanks! Randy

Hi All, I have been reading through the list quite a bit, and I am going to post this more as a poll than anything else. I am working on setting up a very small business with something that resembles a professional voice system. My idea is to use Asterisk with a SIP provider and SIP clients. I currently have a Vonage account already. So adding the 9.99 a month Soft Phone would be easy.

I setup a vonage account last year, and cancelled it last night when I put my asterisk box together and signed up for a Broadvoice account to use with it. Now I would like to use my Linksys router as an MTA, but realize it is still programmed with all of vonage's proprietary information and I do not know how to clear it. I understand that just pushing the reset button will not do it.

Come to think of it since the DTA310 uses DNS to find the SIP server, you could setup a DNS cache and override the DNS entry for what packet8 uses (proxy2-eqix-sjo.packet8.net : 15062, over here) to point to the IP of your own SIP server? Kind of a hack but it should work as long as it's running on port 15062. I am very new to this so I don't know if there's a port standard for SIP

Hi all, I'm just wondering about these VoIP services -- do you have to sign up one account -per- client that will be using the service? I've got multiple extensions behind my Asterisk box, and I want to be able to allow all my staff to place calls via the provider. So if I sign up for one account, will multiple users behind my Asterisk box be able to make calls, using that same

Is anyone else having problems with them? Until today everything was working fine. But now dtmf is not working on incoming calls. Any ideas? I tried calling them and their voicemail is not accepting answers. Is there another source for DIDs in the 314 or 636 area codes? Especially a company that supports something besides ulaw. I am going to hate switching numbers again, my wife is

I had my asterisk configuration working very well with broadvoice, but it stopped working this afternoon. I plugged the Cisco 7960 phone I used for my origional signup (just a few days before they offered generic BYOD) and it works fine. I did notice it seems to do all of its comunication through proxy.broadvoice.com (I used tcpdump). I have never contacted broadvoice about using asterisk

Hello, I'm planning to convert my phone system to Asterisk, as I've outgrown my TalkSwitch system. I have a few questions for experienced * users, most of which can be answered yes/no. Current Setup: - Talkswitch 48NLS (4CO/8Ext) phone system. - One CO line, two Vonage lines, one Voicepulse line connected to phone system - A third Vonage line directly connected to a fax machine - A

Is anyone signed up with Vonage and using an asterisks box?? Also what VOIP providers would anyone recommend? -- James Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com

Hey folks, I am looking for a no frills bring-your-own-SIP device VOIP company similar to Broadvoice. Does anyone have any experience with VOIP in Canada? -JR

Hello everyone, Having recently gotten Broadvoice inbound DTMF to work (thanks Greg)...I am now running into a frustrating problem...when a call comes in to the BV number via a cell phone (tested with 3 different cell phones; albeit all on T-Mobile) the beginning of the IVR welcome audio is cut off. A call placed via a landline phone over the PSTN to the BV number does not exhibit the problem.
