This is a bit unrelated to the thread. However what you are experiencing seems to happen with some BetaMax providers but not others. That said you should be able to make calls via VoipBuster through VoXalot (You>>VoXalot>>VoipBuster). You should also be able to make calls via VoipBuster through PBXes (You>>PBXes>>VoipBuster). You may or may not be succesful making call through VoipBuster, registered in VoXalot, in turn registered in PBXes (You>>PBXes>>VoXalot>>VoipBuster).

Now personally I tried InternetCalls in each of those combinations, and it worked in all three, hence it's not all BetaMax providers, it may even be as specific as server clusters used in PBXes or VoXalot, or access numbers used if using the callthrough method, or IP assigned to your mobile device when using a Mobile VoIP device. But all of that is nothing more than educated guesswork at best. The only way to get a better idea is if BetaMax was open about how things work on their end, and frankly that's hard to come by.

As for the gist of this thread, a number users using BudgetPhone DIDs and having VoXalot forward calls to this DIDs to a landline/cellphone via BetaMax providers (there were two specific ones I believe) have had trouble receiving calls.

Some have reported that changing to a different provider for forwarding, or changing to different DID from another VSP for incoming calls, seems to remedy the problem. That coupled with the explanation that the IP number sent to BetaMax maybe that of the originating DID led to suggestions that maybe these IPs are being treated as FUP.

There are a few holes to the story. Why wouldn't BetaMax charge the calls as FUP, rather than not completing them? If it is an FUP issue why would it prevent forwarding to mobile numbers which are rarely in the Free Calls list? Finally someone stated (http://forum.voxalot.com/voxalot-sup...html#post14213) that they are succesfully using BudgetPhone DIDs and forwarding without issues.

Lastly Martin has asked everyone with the issue to contact him with an account number, and a quick explanation of the situation (http://forum.voxalot.com/voxalot-sup...html#post14223)

Also a new development which may address issues for some people is http://forum.voxalot.com/voxalot-sup...t-working.html
