How to dial another Betamax user with voxalot ?
 

Im wondering if anyone else got speed dial function to work with sip uri to one of betamax username ?

I tried to put in sip:shezad@sip.voipbuster.com but it does not work for me
Anyone else know how to dial to any betamax product ? is this possible ?

regards from shezad

I don't know if it'll work or not...but the reason it said invalid is because it's expecting you to enter it like this:

sip:shezad@sip.voipbuster.com

Strange in that way it does not work, if I try.

But in this way my softphone rings:
**900 | To betamax username | username | via | Dialnow
The username is in phonenumberfield, so not sip-uri !
see:

That wouldn't be the first time something like that happens.

It more likely means that DialNow does not accept SIP URI calls from third party networks (in this case it sees VoXalot as the originator of the call).

The second way (from you pic) works because it is the equivalent of one DialNow user calling another user (in this case it sees another DialNow user as the call's originator)

Hope that makes some sense...

Im not getting it to work with voxalot :(

what i wanted it to do was it to work with my dial plan and when i dialed a number like 12345678 voxalot would replace it and dial as shezad@sip.voipbuster.com

or if i got it to work with call forwarding

Tell me if anyone got it to work with voxalot

regards shezad

I have tryd another time and seems to work with dialplan, speeddial and callforward.
But all 3 times I did not use sip-uri shezad@sip.voipbuster.com but phonenumber shezad and of course using a betamaxprovider.

Thanks, i tried it again now, and now it worked, but i got another problem.

When i now call from voxalot to my betamax user name, the voice works with the betamax softphone program.

I have activated callforward in the betamax option site, and my problem is that the call goes forward, but with no voice :(

If i use pbxes the voice works fine with the betamax call forward function.

Hi

I found that it could depend on codec. If I set GSM as codec voxalot-betamax the voice could works one way only. Changing to G729 or G711 (alaw,ulaw) it works perfectly.

Well, i have the G729a codec on my SPA-2101 as voice codec, and on the voxalot the codecs on the site is g729;g723;g726;ilbc;gsm;ulaw;alaw

I can hear them, but they cant hear me, so its only one voice communication. I also thought it has to do something with the voice codec, but what should the setting be ?

Firstable I want to tell you that I'm able to call Betamax users by their 'username' by setting up Dial Plans on voxalot rather than speed dial. A courios behavior I found is by using SjPhone connected to my voxalot account I can call Betamax via sip uri syntax. Putting the same syntax as voxalot speed dial entry it doesn't work. So the solution I adopted was Dial Plan.

After that I setup codec G729 (on all the preferred codec my device can configure) for communication to voxalot (eu server) and G729;alaw;ulaw;G723;G726; (...) as codecs to call Betamax.

I strongly suggest to you to set G711 (alaw;ulaw) as second preferred Betamax codec becouse often Betamax negotiates ilbc or GSM. Depend to which voxalot server you are connected to set ulaw or alaw first. Usually for european server alaw is working better than ulaw but for us or au ulaw is the best one (as per Cisco dictat!!!).
