similar to: OpenSky: Digium Skype gateway?

Hi All, At the usual time, 12 Noon ET on Friday April 3rd, we expect Michael Robertson to join the discussion to filed questions about OpenSky and Gizmo5. I have been testing all of these Skype to X methods except SIP for Skype since I have no word from them. I can tell you that we've had good results with bith Skype for Asterisk and OpenSky. In fact, I am currently accepting calls to my

> Anyone connected up to it yet? > > http://www.skypeforsip.com/ This service is vaporware. It's just surveyware at this point with no actual service. An alternative is OpenSky which is a launched service which does SIP to Skype and Skype to SIP so you can answer and make all your Skype calls from any SIP aware device. There's a comparison chart at: http://sipforskype.com and

Anyone got any thoughts on this and how it compares to the chan_skype that's due soon ? "OpenSky is a free service provided by Gizmo5 which allows *any* mobile phone, web browser or IP aware phone network (SIP, asterisk, etc) to communicate with Skype users. OpenSky supports sending text messages and voice calls." http://www.gizmo5.com/pc/opensky/ Julian

Daniel wrote: For us, opensky can be OK for individual users, not for allowing Asterisk users to call Skype users. Why? Simply that when you buy the 20 USD connection to Skype and don't want your calls to be cutted after 5 mn, you have to use the Gizmo Skype aliases system which is in your account. Not really helpful if you want to connect transparently your users to Skype! They better had to

I have written this configuration script which uses OpenSky to make Skype calls directly from Asterisk devices using my companies SIP to Skype gateway. Users can dial skype_anyskypeusername or manually add names or extensions which can get mapped to the correct dialing sequence. The right sequence is username at opensky.gizmo5.com but that gets mapped to sipphone address so I set that up to map

Gizmo5.com/opensky is a hosted solution SIP to Skype solution meaning there's no software to install on your system. In minutes the system can be working for your Asterisk box. This is like using

Don't know enough to properly term the problem I'm seeing... sorry if subject appears vague. And I have other questions too, but "Newbie Help Wanted" isn't exactly more specific... ;-) My setup, intended for testing and all, "*" version 1.6.0.6, dahdi with an X100p clone. Regular phone line provides PSTN access with one port (and my DSL). Calls come in and are

Hi, Plenty to talk about today. Dave Nelsen, a founder of Talkshoe, has a lot of experience in the telecommunications space and he joins us today to chat about its current state, conferencing and whatever else comes to mind. So we have a meta conference aout conferencing, it won't be the first time :) You probably saw John Todd's message on one of the lists: Skype for Asterisk is in open

Hi all, I'm using GIZMO with my asterisk (1.4.13) box ... I've had CALL IN for a while and it works fine .... I just added CALL OUT ... I have no problem with call setup ... the called party hears me ... but I can't hear them .... again if the call comes INTO the server both sides work fine. Just looking for some tips at where I should be looking .... firewall port forwarding ....

my problem is this. I have google forward the call to gizmo5. I have this line in my sip file : register => user:password at proxy01.sipphone.com I believe this lines connects asterisk with gizmo5 so when it gets a call from Google, asterisk will answer it? At the end of my sip file i have this [Calls-From-Gizmo-Network] type=user context=demo disallow=all allow=ulaw allow=ilbc allow=gsm

I've beaten myself bloody dealing with this one... No luck so far. In summary, incoming calls from Gizmo establish, but neither get nor send sound. Outbound calls to Gizmo work fine (well a bit choppy but work) My thought is that the SIP connection is being made fine, but the RTP is getting stopped / blocked / misdone somewhere. Here is the thing: Asterisk 2.5 on Linux (No hardware

I have been using GiZMO for about 6 months now - love it!. You do have to pay for some services, but its nice to have the knowledge that you are not being listened to or your private info is not given out. The only reason that Skype is worth having is because Opera uses it. Now, are you Opera's B-tch?

I'm looking at the <http://support.a-link.com/phonemate/IPU1.htm> phone because it works with Skype (from Linux), but can do SIP, too. Not necessarily asterisk related, but possibly. My networking situation might require IAX if I'm running Linux and want to use SIP, I'm not certain (Skype works fine). Putting that unknown aside for the moment, how does this phone work under

Hi, I've set up a Gizmo Project account for access on my Nokia E61 because they work through NAT. Trouble is If I include my gizmo account in an asterisk hunt group and I'm not connected (phone is off / outside wireless coverage) the gizmo project always answers. Either the call goes to voice mail or if I turn voicemail off the call gets answered by a recording saying I'm not

Hi ho, is there anyone out here that is making use of the regcontext and regexten settings in sip.conf? I've tried this on two Asterisk boxes (1.2.10 and 1.2.12.1) and in both cases I don't see the Noop priority 1 being created upon SIP client registration, "show dialplan xxx" reveals no change. And yes, I have also read and checked bug 7144; if I go down that route and no

Hi, I am using Asterisk to set up a reminder-like system, with asterisk auto-dialing a user via SIP and playing a reminder file when the user picks the phone. I use Gizmo service for SIP and I'm able to call through it. However, when asterisk dials a number, Gizmo first answers then tries bridging 2 channels. Right after answer Asterisk starts playing the reminder. It obviously results in

I just went through an exercise of writing a Perl script called from my Asterisk dialplan to look at a list of area codes and exchanges to determine which ones are local (no or little cost) under my current Verizon plan. I route calls outside of my local limits to Gizmo. It works fine but when I called Verizon to change (lower) my service it was a bewildering spider web of rates structures just in
