Hello Michael, One way voice could be due to blocked ports either on your router or Etisalat (most probably your router if your calling device is behind it). Depending on whether you are using SIP or IAX, open the appropriate port on your router. Note: for SIP you have to open range of ports between 10,000 to 20,000 depending on how your asterisk is set, in addition to port 5060 (default). Port 4569 is the default for IAX. I do have extra FXO's for Digium TDM4XX card but too bad I am not in UAE. I can ship one to you if you pay the shipment cost (DHL) on delivery. Please DO let us know the outcome of your trial.
