Apologies if this is an FAQ, I wasn't able to find an answer googling: Will any of the public PSTN/VoIP gateway services (Vonage, Packet8 etc) interoperate with * ? I'd like to deploy a box which provides PBX service for analog handsets, and handles inbound/outbound calls via both analog PSTN lines, and, say Packet8 VoIP service. I understand that I can do this by connecting the analog

I have been looking around for VoIP providers but have not found a good listing. Is there no "yellow pages" for VoIP providers? Google mostly returns services like Vonage, Packet8, NuFone, ect. None seam to be very reseller friendly and none offer LNP or local DID's for my area. Anyone know of a list (even a partial one) Jeromie Reeves

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

So what are people using these days for SIP or IAX to PSTN gateways. 1. Do any of the standard companies (Packet8, Broadvox, Vonage, etc.) allow you to use your own SIP device (phone or something like *) instead of the interface hardware they usually provide? 2. What about latency and reliability? 3. Finally, do any of the providers deliver more than one call via SIP? In otherwords, if

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

Here's t link: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=JUEFVG ENEA01YQSNDBCCKH0CJUMEKJVN?articleID=165702588 The bottom line is that they compare retail VOIP providers like Comcast Cable, Time-Warner Cable, AT&T, Vonage, Packet8 et al. Their methodology seems sound. Their conclusion is that retail VOIP services don't yet match the PSTN for reliability &

I found some old messages regarding a possible pkt8 DTA "bypass".

Hello! I would like to get connected with a VoIP provider for home. At some point, I'm sure I will be connecting to it via an Asterisk box, but for now, I will be using whatever hardware they provide. What recomendations do you in the Asterisk community have for a reliable VoIP service that will hopefully interoperate with Asterisk? A company that is actually willing to work with an

Has anyone put together a list of basic modifications & recommended settings to optimize a TCP/IP (mostly wireless)network for VOIP? Specifically G.711 & IAX protocol, and the Vonage and Packet8 services. My network is mostly StarOS (which uses linux cbq and ipchains) and Mikrotik and I'd like to put in some tweaks to get VOIP working better. It is working just fine right now, with

I received a message from Packet8 last night telling me they added some new area codes. I took a look at their new area code/rate center finder page and it looks like the added a LOT of new area codes. They now have phone numbers available in almost every state. The URL for finding out which area codes and rate centers are available with Packet8 is at http://www.packet8.net/about/areacodes.asp

Looks like www.packet8.com <http://www.packet8.com/> has been hacked :-( The phone service is offline as well.

Hi John, I've been using Packet8 via a physical ATA and XP100 card for some time. As far as I know it is not possible to connect to the Packet8 service without the ATA. If this is not the case I would be very interested to hear this. In addition since moving to the USA I now only have a single packet8 line into my asterisk box (I used to have this and a 2nd regular pstn line) I used to be

Noob here, my apologies in advance. Recently my employer decide to stop paying for my home POTS line, so I ordered packet8 for a home line instead of another POTS line, since I really dislike my local phone company, and the POTS line without any long distance would cost more than the $20 to packet8 with unlimited US calling. Anyway, this whole thing got me started thinking about VOIP a lot

I have packet8 and I have spent many hours on the phone with them. If someone has found away around there DTA configuration I would like to know so I can bring it in house to my * box. But as far as your question is concerned. No. Not that I know of. They wouldn't give me any information about the configs. .o-------------------------------------------------------o.

Okay, first a little background - I've been with Packet8 since a month after they started. I found that we were outgrowing their services and decided to move to an asterisk box in the office. I found a service provider that offered me a reasonable rate. After a fair ammount of testing I decided to stick with their services and port my 3 primary DID's from Packet8 to the new service.

**** DRAFT **** DRAFT **** DRAFT **** DRAFT **** I've been using the DTA310 from Packet8.net for a couple of weeks. The DTA310 is about $130 without the Packet8.net VoIP service. It only supports SIP. On the back of the DTA310 is a power connector (power supply is provided with the product), a 10/100 Ethernet port, an FXS port, and a reset button. The front of the device has LEDs for

The Vonage service is offered with a SIP Cisco ATA device for connection to an analog phone. Is it possible to connect the Vonage service directly to the Asterisk PBX bypassing the ATA and FXO card? Are there other services that offer this capability or something similar to IP dialtone? Thanks Kevin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I am aware of a least a few people (including me) who were using the Packet8 service along with Asterisk for outgoing calls. Last night Packet8 did a software upgrade and both last night and this morning I have been unable to make any outgoing calls. Has anyone else noticed this behavior and/or been able to correct it? I get Got SIP response 403 "Forbidden" back from 4.42.235.170 when

I've yet to successfully register and receive calls from my Vonage softphone. I've tried what few examples are given in former post this list and some other forums, but nobody seems to be stepping forward saying it works recently. Either they broke something to where you simply cannot use *, or the config examples need updated. If anyone can show a still working config,
