Blocking 911 calls
by caalvarez＠gmail.com Nov. 13, 2018

Nov. 13, 2018

Yes, I know, "you can't," but there have to be exceptions. I just can't find clear answers. We have some companies with locations outside the US, and they will occasionally dial 911 by accident. Is there any reason we can't block the accounts outside the US from dialing 911? Of course, there's the possibility that someone brings a phone here or uses a softphone account on a US phone. That "shouldn't" happen. What do others do for users outside the US? If it matters, the users are in Mexico and Philippines, mostly, occasionally in other countries.

Oracle (Acme Packet) help
by matthew＠corp.crocker.com Nov. 13, 2018

Nov. 13, 2018

Hello, Does anyone know if I can do some basic call routing on an Acme Session Director? Basically I want to build a dialplan to route calls to various session-groups based on the SIP URI. Example: 911@* goes to SAG:EMERGENCY, 011*@* goes to SAG:INTERNATIONAL, +1*@* goes to SAG:LONGDISTANCE, etc. I?m trying to avoid bouncing the calls through something like a Kamailo or freeswitch to process and 302 Moved the call back to the Acme. Thanks -Matt

Cellular Services
by Adam.Vocks＠cticomputers.com Nov. 7, 2018

Nov. 7, 2018

Anyone on the list providing cellular voice and data services to subscribers on a small scale (a few small town's of population 10k.) As I'm traveling in the Caribbean and see these other networks popping up on my phone, I'm interested in learning more. Is it practical/profitable to provide small geographical cellular areas and create roaming agreements with others for ubiquitous coverage? Anyone doing this that wouldn't mind sharing some knowledge, please let me know. Adam Vocks CTI Fiber

Outbound Fax Service
by dave＠socket.net Nov. 3, 2018

Nov. 3, 2018

All, We currently offer a home-grown outbound fax portal product. It handles PDFs or TIFFs and works okay, although it runs into problems with large PDF files. It isn?t a big draw but we have a handful of active users. We?ve looked at several commercial products in the past and it always looked daunting to get up to a volume where we could cover fixed costs. Before I invest time in overhauling our code it I?d like to hear what you?re using or if you?re even offering something similar. Thanks, Dave Sill Manager of Business Intelligence and Automation Socket Telecom

Automatic 911 location updates
by caalvarez＠gmail.com Oct. 26, 2018

Oct. 26, 2018

Is anyone doing this yet? The ability to detect the location of a phone and automatically update the 911 address? Yes, I realize it's a difficult if not impossible thing, yet thought I'd ask since a customer asked me.

Curious Caller ID issues
by darren＠2600hz.com Oct. 15, 2018

Oct. 15, 2018

Hi folks, About three weeks ago we began receiving random reports from different customers that inbound calls were displaying the Caller ID 845-789-0000. This is not the real caller ID of the originating caller, and does not appear to be their LRN, either. It is also not a scam call ? these are real, regular calls from normal humans / conversational traffic. In addition, the calls appear to originate from many different origins ? i.e. it?s not always the same caller, or destination, or city/state. The calls are real, legitimate calls, and the conversations proceed normally. But the CLID is wrong. The one thing we have narrowed down is that these calls all seem to terminate with one of our carriers ? Peerless. None of the reports we?ve received are for calls on Inteliquent, bandwidth.com, O1, etc. Peerless does not seem to be aware of any routing issue and is asking for more examples to investigate, but they?re hard to get, since it involves not only the receiving party noticing the incorrect Caller ID then prompting the caller for their real phone number and recording the date/time. (Of course, this is impossible to get clients to actually do). Oddly, a search for this number online reveals only this somewhat entertaining email thread on a Subaru mailing list https://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/138-gen-5-2015-2019/497927-curious-cel… . It describes the same symptom, and seems to equate it to an iPhone update with bluetooth, which I have a hard time believing makes any sense. If I had to really guess, it could be the rollout of VoLTE and some misconfiguration on a wireless carrier network that is only invoked when using Bluetooth to make calls ? but boy, that seems like one helluva stretch. Anyone seen this before and/or have any other ideas how to track this down? We?re running out of ideas and are tempted to just port offending DIDs away to another carrier to see if it ?fixes? the problem, but Peerless has generally been good to us so I?d really rather leave the numbers there and just sort out the issue. But, we?re short on time ? the customers are becoming irritated and don?t like providing this information to us each time the Caller ID is wrong. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

LNP, tandems, etc.
by voiceops＠ics-il.net Oct. 6, 2018

Oct. 6, 2018

I thought you had to be on the same tandem to port a number, but with what our tandem operator (Frontier) is telling me, this isn't the case. Comcast ported a number from us in town A. The LRN they pointed to is based in town B (per TelcoData). The tandem generally used by carriers in both towns is based in town B. Naturally, we send traffic to that tandem. The operator of that tandem is telling us that the LRN is actually homed off of a different tandem in our LATA (operated by CenturyLink) in town C. Unfortunately, I can't corroborate this information with TelcoData the only rate center I see off of that tandem in TelcoData is an AT&T town next door. Where can I read up authoritatively on the porting requirements that would apply to this and related bits of info I should know? I'm checking on our LERG access as I know that has the authoritative information, but I don't have that access at the moment. Maybe we're not subscribed to it. Number NPA-NXX in town A: https://www.telcodata.us/search-area-code-exchange-detail?npa=815&exchange=… LRN NPA-NXX in town B: https://www.telcodata.us/search-area-code-exchange-detail?npa=815&exchange=… Tandem in town B: https://www.telcodata.us/search-switches-by-tandem-clli?cllicode=DKLBILXA50T Tandem in town C: https://www.telcodata.us/search-switches-by-tandem-clli?cllicode=DIXNILXA50T Thanks. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com

Anyone familiar with this carrier? We've been getting a flood of FAS complaints that lead back to a media IP on their network, 77.73.68.227. One of our clients is upset that their traffic to the USA is associated in any way with Russia.
