Handling complaints against customers

We're a small company and haven't run into this before. I just got a complaint that one of our customers has been calling a certain number and hanging up. Other than the obvious, telling the customer to stop it, I'd appreciate any suggestions and thoughts on this. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003

New to VoIP
by new2voip＠gmail.com June 21, 2010

June 21, 2010

Hello all and pardon the naive question. I'm looking to start my own small town based ITSP (mini vonage) with approximately 2,000 concurrencies. What I'd like to know is, do I or don't I need a session border controller to get this working. I was told I don't need any hardware and I could get this up and running with software only. I don't know how true this is therefore I decided to ask the experts. Furthermore, would a large provider be willing to trunk my connection if it is software only? What do you fancy? If you had to guess a cost to get something like this up and running, would it be under $50,000.00 I don't have much money to work with at the moment and I'm looking for someone with more experience might do. I'm guessing I could get it all running without an SBC and without heavy hardware or am I wrong because of DSP encoding and the likes. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Has anybody had any success trying to get polycom phones to auto-answer without being sent an alert-info header? I am trying to get 1 line on my polycom 550 to auto-answer every call every time. Any thoughts Thanks in advance. Peter Fabian | Senior Voice Engineer | Telesphere | P: 4803857059 | F: 4803857079
