Call connection rules have stopped working

[toolio]

Can anyone tell me why my carefully constructed call connection (forwarding) rules stopped working today (May 4)? They were working fine yesterday.

I can't even get a rule to work if I specify that all calls and all providers be forewarded to a specific phone number through another provider registered with voxalot. I have tried many combinations of numbers and providers. The calls just continue to ring through to the ATA (and phone) on which my voxalot premium account is registered. No forwarding appears to be taking place.

I don't get it, given that nothing has changed at my end (at least not until I started playing around after all of this stopped working).

Edit: I have two Voxalot premium accounts. I just tested the other one and forwarding works fine. Yet on the problematic one I can't even get the forward everything to voicemail all the time call forwarding rule to work.

This is a basic suggestion...but did you try to just do a reset on the ATA (preferably a power-cycle)

Anything signifcantly different about the two accts (eg. use different servers, was one affected by the recent VM issue maybe....)

I have done a number of power resets, not only on the ATA but on routers, modems etc. Both accounts use the same servers and as far as I can see everything else is identical except the account numbers (and the providers associated with each acount).

After hours of investigation this afternoon I have concluded nothing is working with call forwarding except the ability to forward everything to voicemail or to forward any call from any provider (both started working after a power reset).

I cannot forward by an individual incoming provider, because Voxalot does not seem to be recognizing any of them. It treats all calls from all providers the same way and passes them through. I cannot forward by incoming number because voxalot does not recognize those either, even though they are showing up on the called phone's caller ID.

I want to either pick an incoming number or an incoming provider for forwarding to a particular number through a particular VOIP provider. I was able to do it yesterday, and for a week before that.

Today, it simply will not work. This is extremely irritating because a week ago I set up and successfully tested a number of forwarding rules on this account, which I have used since then. Until, as I said, today.

And this is just with this acct. but not the other one...?

Which provider(s) are you using to do the forwarding part ...(anything BetaMax related)?

Yes, just with the one account.

Forwarding used to work and no longer does with incoming Voip.ms and Callcentric DIDs and with callcentric 1777 internal numbers. No betamax involved. I believe in the past I have also successfully used inphonex DIDs for forwarding. Generally I have used the "inbound provider" setting successfully.

There is one thing i neglected to mention because I hadn't thought of it. Yesterday I upgraded to an additional 5 registrations for the account that is not working properly. I doubt that has anything to do with it, but perhaps worth mentioning.

So I am watching this too...there maybe something else going on...

Ah, finally someone else with the problem. Sorry to hear that, but at least it shows it is not me.

Emoci was kind enough to offer his help through a thread on dslreports.

By following his suggestions I have determined I cannot forward any incoming providers through voxalot, despite the fact that all providers are working fine for incoming and outgoing calls, with no audio problems. Originally my problem started with Voip.ms but now seems to be with all providers.

I also deleted and redid all my forwarding rules. It did not help.

Still looking for a solution.

Cheers.

Since I constantly read here "Please post support questions on the forum. Do not send PMs unless requested." could someone at Voxalot kindly request that I PM them about this issue

I would appreciate working with Voxalot toward a solution. I may be doing something wrong, or it may be a Voxalot problem. But whatever it is, I am not able to figure it out or change it despite hours of trying different call forwarding configurations.

Obviously I am not the only one having this problem (And I am now having it on both my Premium accounts). I notice there is also another similar thread about call forwarding not working properly, and in this thread another person has pointed out that his call forwarding has suddenly stopped working in a fashion similar to mine.

I would like to point out again that what once worked perfectly well suddenly stopped working a few days ago. I have conducted a number of tests and made a number of changes suggested by emoci, but the problems remain on both my Voxalot Premium accounts I have.

Thanks.

Stopped working for me too.

There seems to be a problem somewhere.
