Just a thought, you're not using the brackets are you? I just checked
mine using the string *1*010123456 and it worked fine. Did you put it in
under "Set Call Divert" in the Voipfone control panel? And did you enter
the string in the first field "Divert all calls to"?

No, any account lets you do this. Under Dial Plans, set up a new rule.
In the example below I am using a priority of 500.

500 _11. ${EXTEN:2} Voipfone Yes Edit Delete

a) The pattern is _11, which means "if the dialled number starts with 11
then route the call through Voipfone". (Be careful - if you have any
higher priority dialplans that look at a starting string of 11, they
will get acted upon first!)

b) The Replacement is ${EXTEN:2}, which means "strip out the first 2
characters before sending the dialled number to the provider":

So in this case, if you dial 110033xxxxxxxxxx over Voxalot it will send
just 0033xxxxxxxxxx to Voipfone.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I was! *1*031<234567>
Now that I've replaced it with *1*03123457, it's working fine!
(Despite the tech suport telling me I can not forward calls to Voxalot
;-P )

I have a Virtual PBX. The only field where it lets me enter the string
above, is in PSTN Failover, relative to the single extension I have.

Anyway it's working now, althoug I'm still not sure if I'm going to
stay with Voxalot for incoming calls - I can't find a way, in
Voxalot's system, to:

1) Divert to a PSTN number, if some reason I'm not logged on to
Voxalot; and with this feature working

2) avoid geting inbound calls when I'm already sleeping in Portugal,
but my clients in the USA may not ;-P

(VoipFone allows me to do both 1 and 2 above!)

Excelent! Thanks a lot!!


Now I'll go see if I can learn something else about Voxalot, to suit
my needs.

Best,

Hi Herman,

Voxalot thinks I have my time mixedup when I say I want to forward
incoming calls from, say, 23:30 to 09:00, and gives and error message
saying the start time must be earlier than the end time :-(

Best,
Jose

Suggest putting two entries in, one from 23:30 to 23:59 and one from 00:00
to 09:00.

Also, be careful as Voxalot sometimes does not have the right time. I
believe it is because they don't put the clock forward for summer, but it
may have been something more complicated than that. You should find
something on the Voxalot forum about it. It may be the answer is as simple
as changing your time zone in March and October - which I also have to do on
my Fritz!Box ;-(

Cheers,

Herman

Since you mention it: the time used there, is the time in what part of
the world??? GMT? Or something else?

Thanks a lot!

IIRC you specify it in your account options on Voxalot. Bearing in mind
Voxalot are an Australian outfit, it is probably a good thing too!
