there's garfachi, but they don't offer DID's in anywhere else other than 
CA. Any suggestions? Thanks.



They do offer tollfree DID. What about using one of those?

Nope, same issue here. Luckily I hadn't advertised the number, so no big deal.

Rich,
Kind of good news (that I am not alone) and bad news (that you are in the
same situation). I have had good availability with Nufone and did not want to
go elsewhere unless it was a lost cause. I wish the company would provide
some update(s) either on their website or at least in response to emails.

John

I kept my toll-free number, it just took an extra step to get it
working. Apparently their old provider is screwing them and taking
whatever time they want to do the porting. To speed it up there's an
option called force-porting, as they explained to me. The old
provider will act faster for a fee of $60. NuFone is willing to eat
that cost if you put those $60 into your NuFone account and put For
QUICK TFN port in the payment comments, they will initiate the force
porting request but leave that amount in your account so you can use
it for your normal call activity.

Pretty fair I'd say. The only problem is that they might not have
advertised this option to every customer stuck with that particular
problem.

Other than that, any new toll-free DID as well as standard DID
you order works instantly.

jens

Jens,
Thanks for the force-porting tip. I use the TF for personal reasons and
do not have a pressing need at the moment. My usage is so low that
I suspect Nufone is losing money on me. I tried to get an update from
Nufone but got no response. It does not look like a lost cause yet and I
would like to stay because their service has always been available when
I needed it. I even stated in my email to Nufone that I would switch to
their current terms that have a monthly charge. I still got no response!?!
Regards,
John

Yes we have ported our number out of there service.  You need to go and 
sign some papers with the other provider you want and they take care of 
the rest for you.


I planned to stay with NuFone. It looks like you chose a different 
provider, right?

I have used them since July 2004 to call my daughter in London, UK,
occasional call to France and here (US). 
Quality has been good and the only outage that I can recall was October
2004 when they disappeared
for a weekend. I used IAX2 until they forced a change to SIP last
January. I do not have a DID and have
not tried the T38 experimental option that they recently made available.
While possible, I don't think I have
ever attempted more than one voice call at a time.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Livevoip 800 Choppy Audio

2005-06-26 Thread John Kington
Wiley, thanks for pointing me to NuFone for tollfree DID. I was planning to 
report

on results between LiveVOIP and NuFone. The apparent bankruptsy of LiveVOIP
means that my choppy audio will probably never be resolved. I set up both 
DID to
go through DISA and I could then use the echo test application. Everytime I 
tested

LiveVOIP, the audio was choppy. I have not experienced any choppiness with
NuFone but the echo seemed to take longer to get back to me compared to
LiveVOIP.
I now get a message that my call can not be completed when I call the LiveVOIP
DID and I see that I can not register my asterisk to them. I am glad I did 
not have

big dollars invested in them.
Regards,
John

[Asterisk-Users] DID in 513 Cincinnati

Does anyone have a recommendation for a DID local to Cincinnati (513)? I am

prefer IAX but can use SIP solution.

[Asterisk-Users] Livevoip 800 Choppy Audio

2005-06-03 Thread John Kington
I just signed up with livevoip for 800 DID and have very choppy audio. From 
PSTN to my asterisk is ok but
asterisk to PSTN is terrible. I am using IAX and was assigned to server 
iax01.nyc.*. I do not believe it is
a bandwidth problem on my end and I have no problems using iax with 
gafachi. I opened a ticket with
livevoip but no response yet. Would I be better off using sip with them? Is 
there a server with better

response/bandwidth?
I admit that I am running a cvs head may 2004 prior to 1.x.x release. Could 
that be the problem?

John

[Asterisk-Users] IAX2 One way audio PSTN via Gafachi

2004-11-08 Thread John Kington
I am experiencing one way audio when I call through Gafachi. I can hear the 
person that I am
calling but they can not hear me. I am able to call FWD echo test and have 
no problems. My
daughter has called me using sjphone (sip) and firefly (iax2) with no 
problems.
I have been using Gafachi since July using IAX2 and this is the first time 
I have had any
problem. I did recently add some users in iax.conf so it is possible that I 
messed something up.
I ran a debug but could not see anything that would indicate why I can hear 
the callee but the
callee can not hear me. Can anyone confirm that they are having a similar 
problem or see what
I did wrong from the debug output? Please note that I sanitized information 
like userid, password ...

John

If she is going to be on a residential ADSL, that shouldn't be a

stuff like that.
Just make sure your Asterisk server is on a public IP address, or if
it is behind NAT, then let her use FWD and use IAX to connect your
Asterisk server to FWD.
I have asterisk running on a machine with a public ip which is pointed to by
dyndns. My wife's sister in France can call using sjphone (sip soft phone).
I have had no problems using asterisk for these calls nor for long distance
through Gafachi. (Did I just be bannished from the mailing list?)
My daughter has a XP laptop with 802.11g. I don't know what Internet access
she will have if any in the student housing. I am hoping she can find a 
wireless
connection that she can share. I would like to also make it so she can walk
into some place that is a hotspot and make VoIP calls. Would a soft phone
using IAX be more reliable (easier) to use in this situation? I am sure she
will encounter NAT at least once in either situation. Her room does have a
port for telephone but I think she is on her own to get any phone service.
I have signed up with FWD and also have a DID through CallUK. She can
always use that to call back to the US.

Perhaps if you travel only within the US, you may be lucky most of the

will be out of luck.
I have been travelling a lot on all inhabited continents, using hotel
provided internet connections, internet cafes, client's office LANs,

The most common experience is SIP doesn't work at all and the second
