Hi All,

Have you been able to make VoipFone work with Voxalot, for outgoing
calls?

Thanks,
Jose

And incoming? Are you able to get calls from your VoipFone number(s)
through Voxalot?

Regards,
Jose

Hi Jose,

Try this (for outbound calls only):

Enter your Voipfone username and password in the configuration form.
Then click on Advanced Settings and set it up as follows:

Provider Name: Voipfone
From User: Your Voipfone username
From Domain:The Caller ID that you use (in the form 0044xxxxx)
Username: Your Voipfone username
Codecs: g729;ilbc;gsm;ulaw;alaw
Host: sip.voipfone.co.uk
Port: 5060
Active: Yes
SIP Register: No
Optimize Audio Path: No

Inbound calls are handled slightly differently. Try redirecting them via
Sipbroker. In Voipfone's Call Divert field, enter *1*010<your Voxalot
id>.

(*1 sends the call to Sipbroker, *010 forwards it from Sipbroker to
Voxalot, and the Voxalot id is the last link in the chain).

Hi,

My outbound are working fine!

I have 1 or 2 questions about your explanations for inbound calls,
above.

1) Assuming my Voxalot ID is 123456, I'd be forwarding to
*1*010<123456> right?

2) I read somewhere, that this works only with calls originated from
PSTN... True of folklore?
My problem is I have a DID in the USA, being forwarded to VoipFone
through SIP URI ... Would such calls be forwarded to Voxalot, or am I
pushing my luck, already?


On another note... What does Voxalot make from the free outbound call
routing service? I almost feel guilty for using without paying a
cent...

Thanks a lot!
Jose

PS - In case one of your setup providers in the Voxalot account is
down, will it route the call through the other setup provider?
Alternativelly, will it let you override all rules, and use the
provider you like, without having to log on to your account?

I can't comment about voipfone. However, why don't you forward your US DID
to Voxalot direct, e.g. [email]123456@voxalot.com[/email]? That could improve call quality
for those calls. This is what I do with my IPKall number.

If I had a Vox Lite (paid) account, could I forward my USA DID inbound
calls to a Voxalot SIP URI?

Does Voxalot allow any kind of control over at hours of day your
inbound calls get through, on the forward rules, perhaps? (VoipFone
allows this, although not free, but since I live in Portugal, I find
it usefull)

Tanks,
Jose

You can do this using call forward on a premium account, which I have. But
I am not sure what level of service you have to have to make this work.

If it helps, you can divert to your vsp's voicemail by forwarding to an
invalid number. This sends a SIP busy here message back to your vsp which
should trigger voicemail if you have it activated.

Alternatively use Voxalot voicemail, but I have not had success with this
(DTMF is not picked up by the voicemail system)

Hi Herman,

Just changed the routing path of my US DID, and seems to working!

Thanks a lot for the sugestion!

I'm surprised that Voxalot allows this even with a Basic (non-paid)
account!

Best,
Jose

Yes, that should work.

Sounds like folklore to me :-)

You would have to ask them about their business model. In my case, I
find their other services (forwarding etc.) so flexible and useful that
I am more than happy to pay $15 for their service.

To answer the first, I believe not. The second is quite easy to do. Just
set up dialling rules so that you dial a prefix to choose a particular
provider. Then, dial the access code that you have created followed by
your destination number!

It's not working...

First I tried *1*031<123456> and I would hear a ring tone in my
outgoing phone, but no ringing at all in my incoming phone connected
to Voxalot.

Then I tried *1*010<123456>, and the call would simply not get
through...

Not sure I understand what you mean...
The only kind of rules I've seen so far, in the Basic account is "If
dialed number starts with xxx then use prover y"

How can I a) choose a provider, and b) dial out a number using a
provider that goes against the rules established?

Does a Lite account give you access more elaborated rules?

Best,
Jose
