Local calling tariff database
by abalashov＠evaristesys.com Nov. 15, 2017

Nov. 15, 2017

Where can one get a digest of local access tariffs that is complementary to machine processing? Ten years ago, when I last cared about this, the canonical answer was CCMI. Is that still the answer? Any idea on pricing? Does anyone offer "can-this-NPA-NXX-call-that-NPA-NXX-locally"-aaS, but reliably? -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/

The calling party sets the initial calling area but the LRN has a lot to do with it if it's a ported TN at least in the LATA I'm in. Example below All numbers in the same LATA Caller : 808-369-8000 HNLL rate center via NANPA Called Party: 808-749-8000 outer island LRN for called: 808-439-1000 HNLL rate center CLEC/ILEC level here when the caller attempts the switch completes a dip to query the LRN of the called number. The switch then dials the LRN via SS7 or the tandem prior to the CLEC which is located on the same island same rate center and presents the the Called Number in the Called Number field of the SS7 transmission The answering switch sends the call to the appropriate party. Example 2: Calling Party: 808-749-7000 Same NPA-NXX outer island Calls same Called Party but the LRN is on a different island why because switch is at that location and tandem hence different rate center. As Alex stated the CLEC would pay intrastate toll to complete the call depending on the PIC code but the call would not simply bill as local because caller and called NPA-NXX is the same it's based on the result of the LRN. If no LRN is returned the switch logic if programmed correctly will send the call to the Tandem if the NPA-NXX-X is not located on the switch or out whatever VoIP or Transit Trunk configured. The LRN is associated with the CLLI which has a H. V. Coordinate that is used for distance and billing CABS.

Cisco acquires Broadsoft for approx the GDP of Belize
by ryandelgrosso＠gmail.com Nov. 3, 2017

Nov. 3, 2017

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-broadsoft-m-a-cisco-systems/cisco-buys-b… I cant say im surprised but in this day and age i suspect there will be far less technical synergies than anyone is hoping for. I suspect this bodes best for Metaswitch and netsapiens as some SP's will undoubtedly reconsider BSFT as a platform strategy. Also directly from the article: ??? ?? "BroadSoft provides software and services that enable mobile, fixed-line and cable service providers to offer so-called unified communications over their internet protocol networks." ... ouch Any other thoughts?

Chinese language phone scam cals
by jaybinks＠gmail.com Oct. 27, 2017

Oct. 27, 2017

I've become aware of scam calls targeting seemingly random numbers with chines language voice recordings supposedly saying they are from the Chinese Embassy. The current flavour of this message is something similar to "This is the Chinese Embassy, you have an important message to be collected. If you have any questions press 0. Our Chinese language department will be able to assist you." I've found the following in the media about this, so it seems to be fairly widespread. - https://www.3aw.com.au/chinese-phone-scam-targets-australian-numbers/ - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/chinese-embassy-phone-scam-1… - http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/chinese-phone-scam-vancouver - http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-08/10/c_136513524.htm I know of people receiving 10000 calls per day, and I've personally been seeing 5000 calls per day apparently for this scam. The caller ID is probably spoofed, but it appears to be spoofed within the one 1000 block of numbers. ( that I'm aware of, so far ) I guess id like to know if anyone else is seeing this, and what if anything, do we know about this scam so far? -- Sincerely Jay

Android Spam Call Flagging
by ivan.kovacevic＠startelecom.ca Oct. 25, 2017

Oct. 25, 2017

Anyone have any details with respect it works under the hood and whether there is an API to add/report/remove numbers? (understanding that removal may not be something they allow? ) Companies like TrueCaller offer an API. Google has been offering spam flagging as a part of the Phone app, yet there is very little info out there? Is Apple doing something similar? Thanks!

ICTFAX - configuration
by igoldstein＠telego.net Oct. 24, 2017

Oct. 24, 2017

has anyone successfully configured ICTFAX on centos ? i am trying to follow the guide, and im stuck with getting the SIP Trunk registered, I want to register the ictfax to a SIP Trunk, I have the trunk information, (host, username, password) but in the GUI it is asking for other information which I don't know what it is, for example the "Dial String" and the "Register" field. Username, I assume is the username used for the SIP Registration Password, I assume is the password used for the SIP Registration Host, I assume is the Server Address, can I use a Fully Qualified Domain Name in this field ? or it has to be a IP Value ? Port, I assume I enter for example 5070, or whatever port the SIP Server is set to listen on add prefix, it has 00 in it. I assume I don't need this, unless the SIP Trunk carrier is asking to prefix all calls with a special value Dial string and Register fields i dont know what to put in there, and leaving it blank does not register the SIP Trunk -- Izzy

SDWAN for VOIP
by David.Hiers＠cdk.com Oct. 4, 2017

Oct. 4, 2017

Hi, Is anyone else using SDWAN for VOIP? We can move a call between links and impose 10% packet loss and the users pretty much don't notice anything. No loss of call control or mid-call signaling, barely detectable impact on audio quality. This is pretty much the only way we've found to deliver the quality that our (very demanding) customers require using a 'bring your own bandwidth' model. It has been such a game-changer for us that I'm being sent to SIPNOC to give a talk about it.

Broadworks / High cost rate center blocking
by matthew＠corp.crocker.com Sept. 26, 2017

Sept. 26, 2017

VoIP hacking is a way of life these days, I swear I think there is an Olympic sport for hacking now. By default we block all international calls on users (011 dialed) and will enable using auth codes or outright if the customer insists and bears all potential costs. That has significantly reduced / eliminated international toll fraud on our switch. Now, we see fraud going to NANP (1+ dialed) high cost ratecenters/NPANXXs. Is there a list of the high cost NPA-NXXs or should I just go through my upstream carriers rate deck and sort by $$/MOU? Does anyone know how to mark the high cost NPA-NXXs in the Broadworks Network Server so the calls are marked as high cost / expensive? Then I can treat them as international and block or require an auth code. -Matt -- Matthew Crocker Crocker Communications, Inc. President
