I have two questions for the group. #1 - I'm looking to use some GSM SIM cards with my Asterisk PBX. Can anyone recommend a gateway? I need about 10-15 SIM slots. #2 - I'm also looking to connect Asterisk to an SS7 signaled DS1 (24 channels) for inbound and outbound voice calls. Can anyone offer any suggestions for cards to use there?

Hello, We are working on implementing a solution for a medium service provider. They were previously using a Cisco AS5300 gateway with some PRI trunks to receive modem calls, then route them out the Internet. The Telco they were buying the trunks to discovered this configuration and restricted them due to legal conventions, and stated that in order to continue doing this, they would have to talk

I'm presently working on an office move and evaluation of telecommunications services needed at the new location. I'm presently wrastling with an issue related to portability and geography between landline carriers. Presently certain people within the organization are hopelessly in love with our 909-822-xxxx number(provided by pacbell/att). As that number is presently provisioned it

We are an asterisk user... small time system 50-100 users or so. But, we have an opportunity to get into a big time telecom activity. It would have 2000 to 30,000 user lines per city, and we would like to have those brought back to a central location for control and because transport can be more economical than remote site rentals, maintenance and personnel. We could take the local lines into

Hi all, I'm being requested to deploy an?IVR service?using SS7. I've deployed Asterisk before using ISDN connection, but never with SS7. Can anyone explain me the different between using ISDN and SS7 ? What need I do now to change to use SS7 ?.

This sort of message is usually preceded by some magic tones that allow direct marketing application to immediately drop a call to a dead phone number. What is the proper terminology for the tones? Where can I find information about how this is implemented? -- Drew Einhorn

hello, all of users: sorry, resend it again for clarifying the message. I have implemented cha_ss7 in china. initially, the chan_ss7 can not support the call group. i modify the code. now the problem is that, both sides can hear the ring, but i can not hear the voice from each other. i think the ss7 does not send the voice steam to the destination. in chan_ss7, i added:

Has anyone here used T1s with RBS with asterisk? Cary Fitch

Is there a way to program an FXO device to totally ignore incoming calls? I want to put an FXO on a Fax line so that 911 calls can be sent via that line, but all other activity on the line is between the Fax machine and the phone company. Perhaps munge the ring tone detect if nothing else? Cary

I am not sure what the problems are and the reasons for the basic 64K modems used in VOIP are. I understand the compressed codecs that get the bandwidth down to 20-30 K. And perhaps the 64K units give much better potential audio than you would get on a normal POTS line. But, as phone circuits VOIP/SIP doesn't seem to perform as well as plane old phones. Multiple transcodings cause issues.

I am trying to get a queue to do more than just play music and hold calls. Specifically, making some "comforting" voice announcements would be nice. Below is the queues.conf file relevant portions. Member phone number is munged to protect the guilty. We shouldn't need the announcement source info, but I have been trying everything. The problem is with the member busy, we get no

Can any one suggest a little code to either ring a cell phone when a new VM message is recorded, or send a text message? Basically outside sales people want to know they have a new message, but don't want to be interrupted to take a forwarded call. While a message by message notice would be nice, even just a single notice on the first message would be an alert to call for messages.

Hello, I am having a problem with my current SIP over VPN setup. We have a server running asterisk at our office. All the phones in the office are on the same network / local to this server. We also have two employees with home offices using SIP phones over VPN to connect to the asterisk server. These phones have no problem with calls to the phones in the office, however there is no audio

I don't want to start the "How many calls can Asterisk handle?" discussion or "How many angels can stand on the point of a pin?" discussion either. But can anyone contribute some practical knowledge of systems that take in channel bank T1s or DS3s from "far away", and process the calls? I am looking for real world, been there, done that, or "check the

Hi, We are trying to implement a complex business logic in Asterisk. Executing "Wait_For_Digit" command after playing IVR. We want to stop the IVR once we receive the digit. It is not recognizing the Digit until it completes the IVR. How can we stop the IVR once we receive the digit? Thanks BB -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

After passing authentication, Then with this line, extent => 3616739999,5,DISA(no-password calls-outbound) As soon as the first digit of the intended number to be called is entered, the system does a Hungup 'DAHDI/1-1' It has done that no matter what I have tried. I am missing the boat somewhere. Anyone have tips? Cary Fitch

I need a country, state, city database for a web application. Anyone have a free version they can email (or drop.io) for me?

Hi, I have a customer running a 120 second long WAV file on their MoH. The problem is that it's always starting from the beginning, so people being put on hold, talked to, put on hold again, etc always hear the first 10-15 seconds. Is there a way to have Asterisk MoH remember where it left off? Or at the very least just play the same stream to all people using the same MoH class, so
