My apologies in advance if this is simple - I did a quick search and didn’t find anything specific. I am trying to set up 311 to work using FreePBX/voicepulse in New York. Feel free to kick me in the right direction and I will figure it out myself, I don’t expect a spoonfed answer. Scarily enough, 911 does the same thing. I have a separate emergency route set up with emergency checked for 911, but it gives me the same problem as 311.
On the 311 call that fails, I am stopped at this section, which confuses me on how to continue.
-- Got SIP response 500 "Nice try" back from 64.61.93.190:5060
-- SIP/VP-SIPJFKA-00001f5a is circuit-busy
== Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/1/0)
First things first your emergency route needs to be moved ahead of your normal route in priority. Secondly who is your provider not all of them support 311
For 911 you need to legally contract for any e.911 service they can provide by DID (if they can and will provide it because it expensive for them, and it’s a liability thing for both them and you ).
311 will likely never work as it is even more expensive for the carrier to provide and support in the non parochial world of voip, check with them though.
In this case I feel it may be best for me to open a ticket with Voicepulse and see what’s up. They’ve been very helpful in the past and I’ll make sure to report back here whatever I find incase someone else runs into a similar issue.
Thank you very much dicko and xpiramental for the insight!
Here is what I received when I submitted a ticket to Voicepulse. It seems that unless you sign up for their cloud services or new FIVE trunking program, no 911 for you.
