SIP Broker now supports Toll Free terminations
To all Voxalot Members:
SIP Broker now supports terminations to toll-free numbers in North America. All users of Voxalot and SIP Broker can now dial these toll free numbers by using the SIP Broker dialling convention: *1800 *1866 *1877 *1888 For example to dial Diners on +1 800 234 6377 within either Voxalot or SIP Broker just dial: *18002346377 The benefit of this solution is that it eliminates the need for you to create special dial plans with specific voice service providers that support 1800 terminations. |

I think you could previously dial these via Sipbroker as *0131800...
And other countries freephone numbers are also possible, some via Sipbroker or via FWD even without an account there, as eg *393*31800... http://faq.sipbroker.com/tiki-index....hone%20Numbers some other interesting ideas there, like conference calls ... |

The new toll free SIP-Codes are terminated by a carrier. |

*394* caused the box to re-boot. Nothing in the manual about this. Weird. .-.-. |

As this news is great for north america, do you plan to add other countries ? If so, I already see some issue in the dialing, even if the pattern is really simple to use (just add the * in front of the toll free number) :) Considering 1800 is for toll free number in the USA, in germany you have (0)180, and french (0)800 and (0)805... Following your, we could have *0800 fo french numbers and *0180 for germans ! Is your plan an exception against all other countries ? You did this plan considering the simplicity of the dialing for all world wide toll free number, I wonder how do you think you can make difference between 2 toll free number beginning with the same 3 or 4 digits, but originating from different countries ? I understand you began with the USA, I'm just curious of the future developpment of this, as this is really a neat feature :) |
1800 w/o * works for me
I already noticed about 4 weeks ago that 1800 w/o the star (no *1800) also works through voxalot. I noticed this by calling a few 1800 credit card #s and getting PSTN incoming calls at the same time, which I was not able to get a few months ago.
Is the functionality for 1800 and *1800 of the same nature, using same routing etc.? Are there any advantages of using one over another? |
