[asterisk-biz] Source for a HIgh Quality Brazil (Sao Paulo) DID?

I'm looking for a provider of high quality Brazilian DIDs. In particular, looking for a single Sao Paulo DID.

Was looking at Voxbone, but with their monthly commit levels of $50 (or was it $100), they are definitely out of the running. Also looked at Inphonex, but they want you to combine a DID with an outbound calling plan (which I don't need).

Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Re: [asterisk-biz] Inbound IP T1 - Lata 132

If the support and up time is the same as myphonecompany.com (which they own and operate) then I will look else where. No one is 100% perfect but when you don't get incoming calls for 30 minutes at a time and there is no answer at support I need to go else where. (This can happen some times twice in a month in prime time like 9:30 AM EST). In regards to support I hope you don't sit on hold for two hours only to be disconnected by their PBX.

Re: [asterisk-biz] asterisk-biz Digest, Vol 38, Issue 72

Hello all

I can give you some advices about your questions:

>> - Each work-at-home person should only need a headset + softphone
>> software on their PC, right? (Is the software audio quality as good
>> as separate hardware SIP phones now, if run on a modern-speed PC?
>> Recommendation for best?)
>>

Answer: A work-at-home person only need headset + softphone + good
quality Internet link.

At the moment there are a variety of softphones in the market, some of
then good some bad, I personal recomend to you "idefisk" you can
download at www.asteriskguru.com (it's IAX and SIP). Respect to the
audio quality it depends of the computer and the aplications that you
have running on certain moment, while more applications you have
running on your PC the audio quality degrees. If you goint to use
softphone or IP Phones I recomend to you do it using IAX Protocol
becauses the comunications it's over internet, on a LAN enviroment I
recomend SIP IP PHONES.

>> - To have land-line (incoming) phone numbers in a country, should we

Yes, your rigth you need to have an asterisk server on each country,
this it will help you to build an stablish and well comunications
plataform, the quality of the calls it will be great to the agents. It
will be an error asuming to just have one server for register all the
agents around the world, it's just will not work.

>> - Can Asterisk report-back IAX-softphone availability, without needing

I'dont know exactly what you mean when you say report-back. When you
have all yours server around the wolrd connected to your Main server
in your country you will be able to link to each server and find out
the status of all your system Asterisk, that includes Agents, Queues,
etc..

>>
>> - Is there a better way you'd recommend setting up phones for the
>> "SITUATION" described, above? Since there is no legacy phone number
>> or contract, it could be 100% VoIP.

My best recomendation to you it's to build a distribuite plataforms of
Asterisk around the worl, it depends of how many agents you will have
to determine the dimension of the server, and each of this server
conected to the Telco by analog pr digital lines. Also yo have to
calculate the number of simultaneos calls that you will have on
certain time.

I hope this information help you to build your plataform.

I am not sure someone will really help you for 50 USD :)

1. Anyway, be sure, the hardware VoIP phone (SIP or better IAX2) is much
better than any softphone. At least you can count on commercial codecs, like
G.729 with the hardware phone. The simplest way to check this is to
personally try and compare :) I recommend to use low-cost IAX2 hardware
phone (the price is around 50 USD) because there may be some NAT issues with
SIP clients in some countries.

2. If you are looking for most flexible and cheap solution - make a try to
find DID providers in these countries you are interested in. The price for
DID is about 5 USD/month each, which is surely cheaper than hosting own
equipment and paying telco's monthly fees in every country. This will solve
the internet connectivity too, so you may count on better quality.

3. Easiest way to track the connected clients is if you use Asterisk
Realtime and just query the database (say MySQL) when you need.

4. Best is to use own dialing plan and own extensions. Then you can map the
real DIDs just like you wish.

A softphone will only be good as the headset. A good quality (ie,
plantronics) headset will be equally as good as a conventional SIP
handset. The only things you need to worry about, is the potential need
for port forwarding.

If the call is being routed via SIP anyway - would it not seem logical
to look for a SIP provider in that country and route the entire call via
SIP. One place you could consider getting a DDI is didx.net.

If you keep the entire solution SIP, then you should look at
round-trip-times between the * server and the outbound supplier. If
this is short, then generally - once the call is on their network then
the geographical location shouldn't matter. However, this is dependant
on a good SIP supplier :)

Yes, this can work with both SIP and IAX clients. Will require some
ingenuity, and calling asterisk commands. If the website receives many
hits, it might be better to output to txt file or a db of the status.
Then the PHP (or equiv) parses the file and shows who is available.
There are some examples of this method floating around on the net.

It sounds like you are going about this the right way, ask to demo
providers services - If they won't allow it, then go elsewhere :)

Re: [asterisk-biz] consultant questions : glad to pay for email reply

Hello Miles,

Please see few options for your questions below.

- Each work-at-home person should only need a headset + softphone
software on their PC, right? (Is the software audio quality as good
as separate hardware SIP phones now, if run on a modern-speed PC?
Recommendation for best?)
My Option - Any standard configuration PC should work. Good and free Softphones are available to download, they provide very good quality.)
- To have land-line (incoming) phone numbers in a country, should we
have an Asterisk server in that country? A rack-mount server in a
telco/colo center, that receives the calls in on a Digium card then
SIP-routes them out to the work-at-home SIP phones? (I'm assuming it
shouldn't be all-one-central server, since calls from Australia to
Australia would actually be crossing the ocean twice, reducing call
quality.)
My Option - In this case I would setup my Asterisk server in office to make outbound call (here you might need to purchase intenational calling minutes from any VoIP provider) to terminate calls to country's landline number (say your agent's home phone number)
- Can Asterisk report-back IAX-softphone availability, without needing
to pass a call? So our website can say how many agents are available
(in which countries) to take their call now?
My Option - Asterisk portal (if you have installed) can display phones registered (online).
- Is there a better way you'd recommend setting up phones for the
"SITUATION" described, above? Since there is no legacy phone number
or contract, it could be 100% VoIP.
My Option - the options above are pretty much easy to setup.

[asterisk-biz] Dutch Number for Inbound

A friend of mine just sent me this email – he is looking for an IAX inbound service in Holland – any thoughts?

Voip info only has Nadiz which seems to be SIP only.

Hi Dean,

I need a Dutch number with IAX support. Do you have any leads in that direction? It's been difficult for me to figure it out

-- especially since most of their sites seem to be in Dutch...

Re: [asterisk-biz] SIP Client for iPhone

To be straight, Apple will benefit big time if the iPhone connects to voip networks. Steve Jobs, however for the time being, is better off playing best buddies with the cellular carriers (AT&T). For how long? Who knows, but for sure, the moment he can kick them in the butt he will. How curious for example, is the fact that a minor (as in can’t be prosecuted) from NJ breaks the lock on the phone, de facto opening the sale of hundreds of thousands of units that will end up connected throughout the world on different carriers, all without breaking the exclusivity contract Apple signed with AT&T.

Conclusion: yes, one day the iPhone will be a SIP phone.

They don’t want you using data for voip – get over it and choose a different brand manufacturer.

[asterisk-biz] [EVENT] Asterisk & VoIP in enterprise

Hi all,

in two weeks (9&10 october), the event "Asterisk and VoIP in
enterprise" will take place in Brussels, Belgium.
It is organised by Profoss ( http://www.profoss.eu ) to spread
information about the possibility to use Asterisk in professional
environments, and will feature talks based on real world experience by
professionals, including Kevin P. Fleming, Asterisk's co-maintainer.
The talks will cover case studies, the integration of a proprietary
product with Asterisk, debunking Asterisk myths, how to improve
customer service with Asterisk, and more.... A round table with closed
source vendors of competing products (with amongst themCISCO and
Avaya) will also be organised so participants can get a global view of
the VoIP market. Talks won't be commercial shows!

This event is for ICT professionals: end users, consultants or
Asterisk solutions providers. We have sincerely worked hard to make
this an interesting event!

All information about this event is available at
http://www.profoss.eu/events/october-2007-asterisk/
When you register, use the code DIGIUMML, you won't regret it ;-)

[asterisk-biz] Conference bridge for 200+ subscribers

Hey all,

I have a need for occasional use of a conference bridge that supports 200+
users, all dialed in via the PSTN.. anyone offer such a product?

I can support around 50 callers via my SIP trunks, but really don't want
to worry about bandwidth/etc to support 200. ;)

The bridge needs to have all the "standard" features - call recording,
support multiple passcodes so some users will be muted and some won't,
etc.

Thanks!

Hi,

I know a few carriers that at least could handle the Mexico DIDs. Not sure
about Peru or Colombia, but I could check if you're interested.

Regarding the problem you were having, perhaps the phone number just wasn't
in the routing tables for the local carriers in question. That can usually
be resolved by entering a trouble ticket. All a switch tech has to do is
enter the number in the switch. This happens a lot in the US when a
competitive local carrier (CLEC) gets a block of numbers and a new area code
and prefix (a.k.a. NPA/NXX) assigned to them. Some carriers don't implement
the change in their switch in a timely manner but can easily fix the problem
when notified.

It's good to go with a carrier who has a lot of experience with traditional
telephony in addition to VOIP telephony so they can help to manage these
kinds of problems. If you need some help, please feel free to give me a
call.

I know a few carriers that at least could handle the Mexico DIDs. Not sure
about Peru or Colombia, but I could check if you're interested.

Regarding the problem you were having, perhaps the phone number just wasn't
in the routing tables for the local carriers in question. That can usually
be resolved by entering a trouble ticket. All a switch tech has to do is
enter the number in the switch. This happens a lot in the US when a
competitive local carrier (CLEC) gets a block of numbers and a new area code
and prefix (a.k.a. NPA/NXX) assigned to them. Some carriers don't implement
the change in their switch in a timely manner but can easily fix the problem
when notified.

It's good to go with a carrier who has a lot of experience with traditional
telephony in addition to VOIP telephony so they can help to manage these
kinds of problems. If you need some help, please feel free to give me a
call.

Thanks,

We need the same thing, more than two numbers though with lots of volume.

[asterisk-biz] fax campaign with Asterisk

I wonder if someone on this list is doing this already. We're looking for a solution that we could implement ourselves or someone who could do this at a reasonable price.

Thank you,

Re: [asterisk-biz] Grandcentral and Asterisk

VirtualPhoneline.com does all the features that grand central does and it run's 100% on
asterisk

We have started to install ajax on most of the pages instead of the flash that they use.

They don’t want you using data for voip – get over it and choose a different brand manufacturer.
