similar to: Will VoIP ITSP's be Next?

Interesting read in Alec Saunders blog today. http://saunderslog.com/2007/03/01/mashable-telcos/ Thought it may interest some people on this list. As food for thought, why it is that ITSP's haven't come up with more 'interesting' voice applications? When asterisk first became available I thought it was the beginning of seeing really neat applications, think Verzion's

Hi all, We have been fighting with telco for a entire week. Today they came here with a LITE3000 to analyze what is going on. When I configure zaptel with no external clock, E1 gets aligned/synchronized with bit rate in 2048000 bps, both me and telco. span=4,0,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4 But when I configure span4 to get clock source from telco they become unsynchronized. TElco bit rate stays in

In United Kingdom, we have time based dialling pricing from most of Telco's based on time the call is placed! It is called PEAK (08.00- 18.00 Mon-Fri), OFF PEAK(18.00-08.00 Mon-Fri) and WEEKEND (all other times! Could someone from any of other countries let me know if time based charging exists in your country? Also, what numbers (up to 999) are commonly used for emergency, police or other

Hi all i have just set up a asterisk in china, using DE410P and one E1 line and get a phone number like: +86 020 87654321 from my sp when somebody dial +86 020 87654321 , the asterisk will get the call in number by ${EXTEN} variable, but it can only get 87654321, no area code . when someone dial +86 020 87654321xxxx , xxxx means 4 digits, the phone can call in, and the

Hi! My telco is Deutsche Telekom and they got about 30 SIP servers right now. Currently I've set up a template for incoming calls in sip.conf and added each SIP server by it's IP address like this: [DTAG-in-1](DTAG-in-template) host=217.0.16.103 ... [DTAG-in-30](DTAG-in-template) host=217.0.20.99 I've done that to improve security and to be able to assign all calls coming in

Hi everyone, I just installed a TDM02B and surprisingly, I had really no problems except one. If I place an outbound call on the Zap line (Zap/3), everything works fine except when the called party hangups before I do. I do get congestion, but that is expected. However, when I try to make another outbound call using that Zap line, the CLI shows that the call is being dialed, but nothing

Hello Everyone, Unlike going through DIDx, DIDLogic etc.., we have an option of getting DIDs directly from local telco Bell Canada. Currently our SIP Trunk provider assigned a DID to us, and as you know, they just redirect requests it to our PBX. However, when dealing directly with a telco, what equipment will we need? Basically giving us the same capability as a DID provider. If someone can

Hello. I would like to know if somebody did a wireles voip with Asterisk PBX. I think to deploy a wireless for about 500 potential customers, it's a 3 km radius maximum coverage with houses without phone lines, I work for public places telephony small enterprises ( a common bussines in Spain) so I can get good rates from 4 telcos and do LCR at my asterisk PBX. Is anybody did this before

I have a serious problem that repeats very often, after 30 - 50 calls and I can only solve it by stopped and restarting * :-( After a while, * seems to loose track of something. When an ISDN call from PBX needs to go to the Telco, I get 'Ring requested on unconfigured channel 255/255 span 2' It's always channel 255/255 ??, the 'span' number is random Setup: * between Local

I've added an important new application: app_transfer. This application is designed to allow Asterisk to request the transfer of an incoming call to a different extension. Consider the following diagram: Caller -> [ PBX1 ] -> SIP or IAX2 -> [PBX2] -> Transfer App A caller calls an extension on PBX1 which forwards to PBX2. PBX2 executes app_transfer, which requests that hte

Hi Folks, having an issue with outbound calls through a VOIP provider. Calls get sent out with the CallerID(number), but where does callerID(name) come from? Apparently not from provider, as we are seeing different (sometime missing) names on inbound calls, different than what we have configured. Apparently this comes from some telco database somewhere? Numbers were ported from a wired-telco.

We've moved within the last two months to Asterisk 1.4.x All remote facilities are connected via highspeed (9mbit) connections (Over OpenVPN) to a central Asterisk box, acting as a voice router, that funnels all calls into our Avaya Definity G3R via PRI. When corporate employees visit the remote facilities and try to call the G3R's voice mail system(Audix), DTMF is not recognized unless

Hi all, Our asterisk PBX, randomly restarts all the channels of the E1 connection. It sends this message "There is no D-Channel, using channel 16 anyway".Then the asteisk recive (or it thinks it recives) yellow alarms at all the B-channels, after that it restart all the channels. When restarting the B-channels it cut all the conversations that is handling at that moment. Does anyone

Over the last couple weeks I've tried everything I could get my hands on in an attempt to get rid of my echo problems. Using a CVS checkout of just yesterday, I've tried every echo cancellation routine in zconfig.h (including Mark2 w/Aggressive) , as well as the echotraining=800 mentioned on this list just last week. While some things worked better then others, I would consider none

OK here it goes.. Caller ID is two parts or actually three: Part 1 Number only Part 2 Number + Name Part 3 Whole lotta stuff (also known as ADSI) Here is the US, I cannot speak for other countries. When party A places a call to Party B. Party A's Telco picks up the number, either from a table on the switch or passed from the PRI from Party A. Then on the far side (Party B's Telco)

Hello Olivier Ive been testing the E61 phone for some days now, and we need to have an inhouse asterisk server, connected to our main asterisk server, to get it to work. That means, that you cant just walk down to your local airport, and use the IP part of the phone on their network. You have to have a non nat local server, to get it to run. Other than that, the phone can accept calls both

After a variety of connectivity problems, my itsp (Unlimitel.ca) blamed the problem on the IAX protocol. They told me that as of Asterisk 1.4 the IAX protocol went downhill and many carriers (like VoicePulse) are discontinuing support for IAX. Is this correct? We are all heading for SIP?

I have some general questions about marketing. Lot's of technical info but I was wondering how people are getting the business to begin with. I'm from the IT end of things but Telco is quite a bit different. Is cold calling still the way to go or networking? General stuff like that. Are there any resources on the web I can search for? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi! Our telco routes multiple numbers through PRI to our Asterisk. Not all of these numbers are in use. I have noticed recently that someone keeps calling unused phone number from outside world. I called them and asked why do they call dead number. The person on the far end explained that she keeps calling this number because she hears "busy" tone every time... Most telcos these

I've been going back and forth with my telco for several days, trying different configurations to get a new PRI to come up. The bchannels are all up and the T1 is not in alarm status. The dchannel refuses to come up however. We've tried ni2, qsig, and now dms100 for the switchtype. The telco tech I've been working with says that he's been sending "reset all channels"
