Geographic lookup in uk doesn't work

badger2007 · 07-29-2007, 07:59 AM

Couple of months ago it worked well but not any more. If you go to wap.e164.org and try any 0870/0845 number you get no results. My dial plan includes _087. 0044${EXTEN:1} with geo lookup enabled.

Thanks.

EDIT: In "Home" -->"Services" -->"Voxalot Overview"-->"Non-Geographic to Geographic Number Lookup" Voxalot gives UK example which doesn't work! What do I do wrong?

EDIT AGAIN: Please understand my point( if I'm right...): Voxalot uses e164.org for NG lookup. If e164 doesn't work, then NG lookup in Voxalot doesn't work either, then Voxalot should remove UK NG lookup from the list of its services

FWIW I noticed exactly the same thing myself last night. I thought it was my settings, so I'm pleased to see this post.

I remember looking at this and I couldn't make it work. I seem to remember though that the number to enter in the geo lookup is your own number (in the format 441234....) IIRC the logic was that it selected a geo alternative close to you based on your area code. This style of NG no. with dialling code routing is less widespread in the UK, though.

Let me know if you succeed where I failed. I think the dialstring it is expecting may also be in the format 44870.... etc.

They have also stopped working for me. It does appear to be an e164 related problem.
