Folks,
I have a PRI connected to a Sprint circuit that will not allow me to place
calls to 800 numbers (or any any toll-free numbers).
I can dial local 10-digit, and regular toll calls (11 digit), but calls to
1-800,866,877,888 are not allowed through.
The call fails as follows:
OSAAST01*CLI>
-- Executing Dial("SIP/5611-9826", "ZAP/G1/18772673835|120") in new
stack
-- Requested transfer capability: 0x00 - SPEECH
-- Called G1/18772673835
-- Zap/22-1 is proceeding passing it to SIP/5611-9826
-- PROGRESS with cause code 41 received
-- Zap/22-1 is making progress passing it to SIP/5611-9826
OSAAST01*CLI>
The cause code 41 is the difference, as it does not appear on any other type
of external call. A lookup of the term gives:
Cause No. 41 - temporary failure [Q.850]
This cause indicates that the network is not functioning correctly and that
the condition is
no likely to last a long period of time; e.g. the user may wish to try
another call attempt
almost immediately.
Which does not make sense to me.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm hoping it's an obscure
setting in zapata.conf that one normally wouldn't use.
It should be noted that regular long distance calls are intercepted by a
tone that requires the caller to enter a password. Since toll-free numbers
are dialed with a 1-NXX the same as normal toll calls, there must be some
process that routes the toll free calls differently, but why the call fails
with that error is not clear to me.
Any experience or advice would be appreciated.
Jim
