I am testing an Aastra 6867i on the FreePBX distro 6.12.65-27. I am having a problem with the BLF status changing to a question mark after a few minutes. They work properly when the phone is rebooted for several minutes and then changed to a question mark.
What version of Asterisk? This is either a bug in Asterisk or the firmware of the Aastra phone. The ? means it lost the subscription to the BLF in Asterisk and Aastras will not resubscribe until you reboot them.
I’m testing the Aastra 6869i with an older version of FreePBX (2.11) and Asterisk (1.8) and am not having this problem. In the Global SIP Settings area of the phone’s configuration, what do you have set for the BLF Subscription Period? Mine is at 300 seconds.
I changed {sip blf subscription period: “600”} to {sip blf subscription period: “300”} in the base file editor in the end point manager for the aastra phones and it did not fix the problem. I thought it had at first but it timed out again.
FWW, I have a Earthlink hosted customer which is experiencing the same issue. Just recently discovered and am attempting to resolve. Unsure what PBX VOIP Earthlink Business utilizes.
I just updated the phone to Firmware version 4.0.0.2031 from Mitel’s website to see if that would make a difference. The version in End Point Manager is 4.0.0.1096.

We are seeing the same problem here, I think it could be related to DNS SRV. Are you using DNS SRV? Our solution was to use proxy and backup proxy only.
Its for sure the phone, and its not solved in later versions either (at least not the way I do see this error). Im currently running on 4.1.0.128 (latest), so nothing to flash.
My solution is to use the “sip proxy ip” and “sip backup proxy ip” instead of just pointing to a SRV record, as this way will make the phone try to re-subscribe all the way. While on SRV I have tested that its stops as soon as it gets an 408 or 503 SIP error message.
