Google Voice->Gizmo5->Voxalot

[ataboy]

Has anyone got a working setup for this?

I had it running OK with Gizmo5 registered in Voxalot but it stopped working.
(Google Voice is forwarded to my Gizmo5 id - 1747 xxx xxxx).

Next I de-registered Gizmo5 and set up my Gizmo5 account instead to forward calls to Userid@eu.voxalot.com. This doesn't work either.

The funny thing is that it works if I set up Google Voice->Freedigits->Voxalot. However Freedigits is such a flaky service that I can't trust it.

I'm sure I've missed something in the setup, so any help will be great.

I am having it running OK with Gizmo5 registered in Voxalot (Google Voice is forwarded to my Gizmo5 id - 1747 xxx xxxx).

BTW, how do you set up Google Voice -> Freedigits? I understand GV only supports forwarding to Gizmo5.

Google Voice supports free forwarding to a North American number.
So just forwarding the the Free Digits DID should work.
The number must be declared as one of your Google Voice phones in the settings menu.

From testing I did some months ago, it appeared that Gizmo no longer supported sip forwarding to xxxxxx@voxalot.com of Google Voice calls, although this did work previously.

Gizmo5 has been having intermittent/repeated registration failures for at least a week now. Numerous similar reports have been posted on DSL Reports. Apparently the Gizmo5 folks are denying there are any problems, but I'm confident they're real based on my first hand experience here.

Given the fact that one Gizmo5 Acct + One SipSorcery Acct. + Google Voice + some Ruby coding can get you free calling via Google Voice to US/Canada from any SIP device .... I can see Gizmo getting quite a few more users...

On that note Gizmo5>>SipSorcery>>VoXalot has been working just fine (but then I only use it once in a while)...

Thanks; I'll go back to registering Gizmo with Voxalot, though if it's currently failing, as Ron says, that might be my problem.

I haven't yet got to grips with Sipsorcery. How are you using the setup you described? Do you register Gizmo5 in Sipsorcery and then register Sipsorcery in Voxalot?

Yep....

The gist of it:

-For the sake of clarity setup a new G5 acct.
-Setup a SipSorcery acct. or use one that you have (if you plan on using SipSorcery for other things as well it helps to create an extension that you'll use strictly with GV)
-Register G5 in SipSorcery using 1747xxxxxxx rather than your alpha user ID. Set the contact field for this in SipSorcery as Name-of-Ext-for-GV@sipsprcery.com
-Now add this dial plan and save it under something like MyGVDialPlan:

#Ruby

sys.log("***Starting New Call Event***")
sys.log("***Outgoing Call Starting***")
sys.log("Call placed by  #{req.Header.From.FromName} at #{req.Header.From.FromURI.User}@#{req.Header.From.FromURI.Host}")
sys.log("Call is for #{req.URI.User}")
caller = req.Header.From.FromURI.User
called = req.URI.User
sys.log("*** Caller: #{caller} ***")
sys.log("*** Number Called: #{called} ***")

sys.log("Call Placed via Google Voice")
sys.GoogleVoiceCall("user@gmail.com", "password", "1747xxxxxx", "#{called}")

-When you go to edit an extension (Sip Acocunts Header) you can assign an 'out dial plan'...assign the Dial Plan you saved to the extension you setup...

-me@gmail.com: your email associated with GV account
-Password : password for email account associated with GV account
-1747xxxxxxx is the G5 number you also registered with SipSorcery above...

Now simply use this SIP Account to make calls via GV (eg. add it as a provider in VoXalot) :
User : Name-of-Ext-for-GV
Pass : password you setup
Proxy : sipsorcery.com

Catch: If you haven't already setup a SipSorcery acct. you may have to wait till Sept 8th to try ...

Thanks emoci. I already have my Sipsorcery account, so that's OK. I'm on a trip though so I can't try this out for a week - but I will!
