Anyone able to register Voicestick with Voxalot

[244751]

Once a month I throw this question out there just in case. I would really love to be able to do that

Some news about this problem? I also can't register to Voicesitck to receive calls. Outgoing is ok.

I have just created a VoiceStick account but didn't know it didn't work with Voxalot... :-(

I wanted my own US DID number...

Can someone please tell me what the SIP host name is for voicestick?

Thanks

Hi Martin !

It's i2telecom.com

It would be great if you could do something for us.

Hi,

I just checked on 4 different servers and the message is the same:

Registration for 'xxxxxxxxxxx@i2telecom.com' timed out

I suspect i2telecom.com is blocking our inbounds. Unfortunately the only resolution here is to contact the provider. If there is enough demand, maybe they will listen.

Here is a work around patch for this problem, that works fine for me.
Configure your Voicestick DID to be forwarded to another DID that you have with another provider, that is working with Voxalot.
The configuration for that is under Global Forwarding on Voicestick.

If you don't have another DID, then you are out of luck, or you need to get one.
It's a work around patch, but it does work, until the problem is finally fixed.
Of course there will be some performance and reliability issues, but at least it works.

Does Global Forwarding on Voicestick allow you to forward to a SIP URI.

If it does, then your should be able to forward to:

sip:xxxxxx@eu.voxalot.com (for the EU server)

It looked unlikely, but I still tried entering a SIP address in the box.

The field length is restricted to 20 characters - sip:xxxxxx@eu.voxalo

Voicestick apparently had some abuse issues last year, and as a result blocked Asterisk - even sending private users rather snotty hints about criminal behaviour.

I know little about Asterisk, and whether they could distinguish private and commercial versions, and in November they said on another forum they were addressing this

I haven't seen any update on there - it seems Bruce N doesn't turn up that often - but maybe elsewhere?

There are a few other Voicestick threads there

... some people have occasionally had issues with it going to their forwarded destination voicemail an instant after the caller had actually hung up, resulting in a 6 minute charge - which is refunded on request. But for this, it looks like it could be popular with Americans forwarding to UK/IoM and other mobiles - or they could just switch off the VM.


I hesitated about putting this on here, as in a way I thought it unfair as the info is a few months out of date.

I haven't done a search for newer stuff on forums I'm a stranger to.

Perhaps others here can add more detail and update this?
