Question [Solved] how to use Sipbroker PSTN access numbers?

Hi,

Regarding the numbers listed at:
SIPBroker - PSTN Numbers

Can I call from a PSTN phone to a Sipphone user who is not registered with Sipbroker? I have not been able to make it work. From a PSTN phone I dialed the Sipbroker access number for Miami, FL (1-305-537-5650), when prompted I dialed *747xxxxxxx (the Sipphone number I wish to call) according to the code listed for Sipphone at SIPBroker - Provider White Pages but I got only a busy signal. How can I make this work?

Try inputting # at the end of the number. I find that to be necessary for people calling into my network.

Correct!

And for the original poster (or anyone else reading this), the reason you have to dial this way, is that *747 is defined (in SIP Broker itself) as send the rest of the digits to SIPphone/Gizmo. But for some reason (known only to the people responsible for SIPphone's network), all calls on SIPphone/Gizmo's network have to start with 1747 before the "number".

So essentially what you get when you dial *7471747xxxxxxx, is SIP Broker strips off the *747 as a command to send 1747xxxxxxx to SIPphone/Gizmo (which SIPphone is happy with, as it is expecting 11-digit dialing on their network). Whereas when the OP tried *747xxxxxxx the call didn't go through, because that sent only 7-digits to SIPphone/Gizmo's network itself, and SIPphone's network doesn't handle 7 digit dialing (all dialing on the SIPphone/Gizmo network needs to be 11 digits long)...

NOTE:
One positive side-effect of this, is that you can also use the *747 SIP Broker code to dial some other SIPphone/Gizmo services that don't begin with 1747 (i.e. aren't normal "users"). For example, the 1222xxxxxxx numbers (on SIPphone's network) all lead to "conference rooms" (multi-person conference calls) you can dial/use. So if you wanted to reach the main SIPphone/Gizmo "welcome line" (i.e. conference room 0), you could dial *74712220000000 from a SIP Broker PSTN number.

Plus the example of using sipphone.com on the sipbroker.com home page isnt the best. Could someone revise this please to reflect information given in this thread?

thank you
