Hey guys, check the original RFD thread for some updates, and an easier to follow WorkAround

Also, the other thing to keep in mind is that it seems VoXalot is going premium, so the forwarding service the Workaround is using will not be free after July 16

Yes this is a problem for me also.

I use 4 VoXaLot accounts.

One for each of my ATA ports. One permidently forwarded to my externally hosted conference line, and one for a WiFi/SIP enabled mobile that I plan to get.

There is no way I can justify US$100 a year to have VoXpremium for all 4 accounts.

So now I am looking for alternatives.

- I need to be able to forward for free externally one sipbroker prefixed number to my conference line.
- register with my VSP for incomming's from my DID.
- Support SipBroker codes locally here when dialing.
- Enum support.

Looks like I will have to start from scratch again with my local VoIP setup.

It's a shame I only just got it all exactly how I wanted too.

There are a few basic things to check:

In PhoneGnome:

-Under Features your Remote Calls is active and checked to ring both Home and SoftGnome (press Edit to get here)
-In the same page under SIP Settings are the ettings you should be using in VoXalot.
-In the HomePage of your PhoneGnome account, note how your number appears (better yet keep that page open)

In VoXalot:

-In Member Details leave everything as is, except deactivating VoiceMail
-In Providers, add PhoneGnome under providers setting Active and Register to No, and Codecs to ulaw;alaw;g726;g729;ilbc;gsm
-Under Call Forward, leave everything as is, choose phone number, then enter the phone you registered in phonegnome. Try first just the number,no country code, no spaces, no dashes. If that doesn't work try Country code + Number, or the way someone within your country would dial your number to call you. Naturally the provider for the forward is PhoneGnome.

Now Dialing:

Call one of the SipBroker PSTN Numbers. After it says welcome etc. enter
*010123456 (where 123456 is your VoXalot Number).

If still having problems, the way to troubleshoot is check in PhoneGnome under Call Summary, Placed Calls and see if anything is being dialed, and how it's being dialed.

Hope it helps...

BTW, explain a bit more how GrandCentral comes into the mix for you. From all my testing I have not been able to combine GrandCentral or PhoneGnome....

it says...."dialing via local telephone service"..."failed to place call using local telephone service"

The number you are dialing has to be the same as the number you registered with PhoneGnome.

In other words, it's like your PhoneGnome Account for let's say 515-233-2332 is calling 15152332332....

In your PhoneGnome Account, under call analysis, see the format that is being dialed right now....than adjust as needed

BTW, this may help:
WorldWide Local Calls

Also check the original RFD thread for some updates....
