not secured i know…

here goes… when i call any Japan numbers using cordia lines are choppy. if i call other destination like USA, UK, France lines are ok. If I try calling the same number using accela using the same asterisk box I can call japan without any problem.

as per my coversation with my provider they said i put allow on g729 which I dont have. when i add that i cant call any numbers… they said its a problem on my side because when they tested on their side calls are OK…

any comments? suggestions?

Richard

g.729 CODEC is licensed and can be purchased from Digium.

Keep in mind since it compresses the audio so heavily and packet loss will be magnified compared to a less lossy CODEC.

Yes, I have read about g.729… that is one reason I havent installed it yet. I dont see any use for it. With the size of our call center and the bandwidth that we have I dont think I will need that yet.

According to Cordia(provider) it was an internal problem. I hate it when providers try to point fingers first before they fix something. they kept saying that the problem was on my box. tsk tsk…

anyway, Thanks SkykingOH! Thanks FreePBX! you rock!
