Outgoing calls and getting "The number is not answering" message

There was another guy from another board that asked if I put any thing in the custom context in free PBX. I told him I didnt and didnt know what it really was. I looked it up and still confused. I asked him to explain more and as of yet heard any thing.

Who would you suggest I check into if I would switch from Vonage?

Thanks for all,

I have no experience with Vonage so I can’t comment on if it works or not. To some extent, SIP is SIP.

You will need a mixture of Provider and setup wherby if you send a call to the provider, they will answer your request in a timely fashion.

Did you ever try

sip set debug ip sphone.vopr.vonage.net

as i previously suggested?

to either FreePBX https://store.freepbx.com/store/
www.securecloudsolutions.com
Both are about $25 for an unlimited Trunk. Secure Cloud will give you assistance in setting up.

Thanks so much, I believe I bit off to much. I found a few different programs that can be used with windows, and using 3cx for about 3 years now, I believe I might be able to get one of them working.

I did find some know windows programs that is free and also have the page feature. This is one of the main thing we was needing. The fax feature was the second. The new release 3CX put out killed a bunch of features for the free version. Like groups, we use that a lot when we are all out of the office. Another fetcher the cut was to call all, we could put a list of numbers in and it would call all the number until some one would answers.

This was a great features too. We just cant afford to put out $395.00 right now. Most of our workers, work as volunteers. What money we do make helps with the utilities and if we find a landlord that just will not cut the deposit, or maybe not cut it enough, it comes out of our budget. I have one person that spend most of the day applying for grants, that there is few of. So asking for money for a phone system would be wrong, when it could help someone get into a home before the holidays. We will yell across the office until we get something different.

I love this program if we could only get out going calls to work. That is my only hang up, but I am not understanding it, so I need to stop wasting your time and mine.

Thank you all, and hope you have some great Holidays,
Daniel Bonnell

PS
If I dont find something else to try, I might see you guys again after the New Years. Some thing to look forward to. LOL

to learning at least some Asterisk and Linux, you better stick with windoze. If you don’t have the time, you don’t have the time. Best wishes.

I already offered to help you, all we have to do is pick a time.

I know you did Skyking and I really do thank you for it. If I know how to set it up for you to look at it, I would leave it on to look at. I have the port forwarding to it and I have a ip address as [email protected]:5061. There is nothing on that computer but that, so its no big deal giving this out. I trust you.

I also will be changing it later. I really appreciate you guys. I am just spending a lot of time on it. I do love the program and would love to have it working.

I feel there is so much more to learn. But right now if I just could get incoming calls, we would be fine for now.

Thanks again, If there is another way to look at what I have, just let me know and I will set it up. My email is [email protected]. If that would be easier. I will not be back to the computer till sometime after 2:00 tomorrow.

I couldnt find a way to pm you or I would. I might delete this later too.

I just edited your message.

Don’t ever do that.

I don’t understand what that is anyway.

I am sure you have done something easy.

Anyway, I will simply do a remote support session with you. You will put in an address in your browser and then you can see what I do.

You need to be logged in to FreePBX and have a console session via Putty or some other SSH Terminal client open so I don’t have to waste any time.

All that I have on my server is asterisk and freepbx. I do not have a browser. I did do a google on browsers, but none of them really explained to me on how to install them.
I can down load it, but unsure on how to get it to the server. I am sure this doesnt surprise you.

If I had some ideas on which browser you would want installed and an idea on how to do it, I will have it ready.

Sorry for getting back with you so late, but been a busy day. I am sure you are also and hate to have you wait, sorry just didnt get a chance to drop you a message.

Daniel - I don’t need the browser on the server I just need to be able to get to FreePBX. Maybe I am not being clear. I just need to do a remote support with your PC so I can get to the console and the FreePBX interface.

That’s it.

I am home for the complete evening. What do you need me to do? If you have time now to help.

Please PM me, I doubt tonight. Should be able to tomorrow.

I am trying to figure out how to PM you/

Hello,

SkykingOH, How are you? I know you are knowledgeable in this I am having a problem that I would love to get some help with my Issue. I have 3 Asterisk Boxes (2 in Mumbai, India) (1 in Columbus, Ohio). We are currently on version (2.1.1 (Mumbai), 2.2.2 (Mumbai), 2.2.3 (Columbus)), They are curently working and able to make outbound and inbound calls on the old servers. I have done everything to get the new servers to work and all I have accomplished is internal works meaning (Internal ext to Internal ext), music on hold works, the parking lot is working. As far as i can tell IVR works as well. When I make a call it routs through my server MB-AS-03, it is acccepted by MB-AS-02 but then I get this ->

Executing [s@macro-dialout-trunk:19] Dial(“IAX2/fromwdindia-6083”, “DAHDI /g1/007408172415,300,”) in new stack

So now I am purplexed because I have set the new servers exactly as the old servers. Matter of Fact I used the old server’s config’s, Meaning I went to the trunks and created trunks on the new server exactly as they are in the old server. MB-AS-03 (New Server) from MB-AS-01 (Old Server)

So I am not sure what to do here: The configs of each server are below:

Server 1 (MB-AS-03 New Server)
Kernel -> 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5
CentOS Version -> CentOS release 5.8 (Final)
Asterisk Version -> Asterisk 1.6.0.26-FONCORE-r78
FreePBX version -> Unknown

I am sure by now you know this is Trixbox CE 2.8.0.4. I would prefer to upgrade to FreePBX Distro but I am a little worried as I do not have someone on hand to help if I run into a snafu…

Thanks in advance, Any thoughts?
