Local Rwandan DID for US company?
by graham＠nerdventures.com Aug. 16, 2015

Aug. 16, 2015

Howdy, folks, A consulting client is traveling to Rwanda for business, and I'd like to provide him with a local number he can call to reach me if need be. I don't see any Rwandan DIDs at Twilio or VOIP.ms. Any leads? This is a nice-to-have, not essential, so I'd like to see pricing similar to South African DIDs. Voice capabilities are my baseline requirement, with SMS as a nice bonus. I'd forward calls to my US PSTN number, but I can accept calls via SIP as well. thanks, Graham Freeman, Principal Nerd NerdVentures.com +1-510-898-6772 graham at nerdventures.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/grahamfreeman Twitter: @get_nerdy

ADT Alarms Special Dialing?
by ajp26＠buffalo.edu Aug. 10, 2015

Aug. 10, 2015

All, I appreciate the insight into this with regard to alarms, especially that they'd trip up T.38, which will probably save me some time in the future. So far so good on alarms and credit card machines, but I'd run into some older CPE type Cisco VG that would mangle and eat modem calls no matter what we did with it. Is there a compendium of information anywhere regarding devices, signaling, and compatibility with CPE? One of our alarm monitoring companies just said that many of their older (FBI type) panels don't work via VoIP in their experience, but other than previously mentioned sensitivity to DTMF it should be possible. Liability and service performance aside, just speaking technically. Also, regarding Sandy and FiOS customers - it was quite a hot topic for a while that the flooding had absolutely trashed the copper plant in a number of areas. Leaded cables with cracked jacket, or enclosures with long-failed positive pressure had allowed water in and ruined the copper. While that's not your run of the mill power or service outage, I'm not entirely certain you can count on a wireline provider to provide longevity of CO battery over time, or even that you're not connected through some span/regen that is independently powered. It certainly helps piece of mind to move the failure "somewhere else" than where you happen to be, but I can't believe it would be as granite-tough reliable as commonly thought.

Suspect NPANXX question
by ryandelgrosso＠gmail.com Aug. 4, 2015

Aug. 4, 2015

All, We have seen a Caribbean NPANXX (1-268-762) advertised to us from a US tier 1 vendor. It has drawn a large amount of fraudulent traffic. We first saw this prefix pop up in this vendors rate decks in April. Going back to the start of the year I cannot find it in any revision of the LERG though, and no other vendor I have offers routes/pricing to this prefix. Does anybody know whats going on here? Shouldn't any zone 1 prefix exist in the LERG months prior to going live, or at the very least within some reasonable time after showing up for live traffic? Does this smell like highjacking to anyone else? All our vendor will tell is they are getting the route from another T1 vendor, but in my 20+ connected peers I cannot find another occurrence. Any help or guidance is much appreciated. Feel free to reply on or off list. -Ryan
