Unsecured conference lines
by caalvarez＠gmail.com June 2, 2016

June 2, 2016

We have a customer who has been nagging us to remove the PIN from their conference lines. They are getting more insistent. We've said no, for the obvious security reasons, and explained them all clearly. On top of it, this is a medical-related company having sensitive conversations on conferences. They keep pushing us. What would you do? On the one hand I think we have no liability in the matter, but on the other, we're more of a consulting ITSP than just a generic service provider. We specialize in helping people not do stupid things with their phone system. There's also the matter of just eating up a bunch of channels by people using it as their own conference.

Phone Spoofing - Anything we can do?
by beckman＠angryox.com May 26, 2016

May 26, 2016

Have a customer, they are getting calls on their number that indicate another party is spoofing their number. "You just called me." "I just got a call from this number?" And it isn't them, not through my systems. Has anyone figured out a process that is even somewhat effective in hunting down and ending the spoofing, while actually getting that Truth in Caller ID Act violation filed against them? Or is it just as impossible as I suspect?

Verizon (Bell Atlantic) headache
by compuwizz＠gmail.com May 23, 2016

If someone is able to assist with a TF number that got dropped off an account when the BTN number was ported out of Verizon, please contact me. Verizon repair is unable to help because they don't show any numbers on the account even though the BTN should have been reassigned. However every person we call says something different. Yay Verizon strike headache. Thanks, Jared

Resporg lookup
by jared＠compuwizz.net May 16, 2016

May 16, 2016

I used to use the Ameritech Resporg line to get the Resporg ID for a number to use for porting. After that number went away, I used a website. However now instead of the ID, the website returns the Company Name. Are there any public lookups for the Resporg ID left? ~Jared

Toll Free Acquisition
by tknchris＠gmail.com May 16, 2016

May 16, 2016

Hello, I have a customer looking for a vanity pattern for the TF and we found that a single company owns most of them and all the numbers in a block around this pattern also and just has them redirected to a promotional IVR I am assuming these are part of a big block and they probably just have all unused DID's routed to this default destination. What I was curious to find out though. Has anyone had any luck acquiring DID's from third parties? This situation feels like deja vu just like the process of trying to acquire domain names so I am sure as soon as you express interest the price starts multiplying :) Anyone ever done anything like this and been successful? Are their companies that do this as a service or I'd like to hear any advice in how to approach this carefully without paying a massively inflated sum. If anyone has any experiences/tips/etc would be interested to hear it. Thanks chris

With the help of some kind members of the VoiceOps community ? our testing has been completed. Thanks! Geoff From: VoiceOps <voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org<mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org>> on behalf of Geoff Mina <gmina at connectfirst.com<mailto:gmina at connectfirst.com>> Date: Monday, May 16, 2016 at 1:42 PM To: "voiceops at voiceops.org<mailto:voiceops at voiceops.org>" <voiceops at voiceops.org<mailto:voiceops at voiceops.org>> Subject: [VoiceOps] Test Call From Windstream to 7633547399 Greetings, I am troubleshooting some problems with a LNP that recently went through. We are trying to determine if Windstream has failed to remove the translations and as such is continuing to route calls on their network to the old trunk. If anyone out there has a Windstream circuit they would be willing to place a call to 7633547399, it would be greatly appreciated. Please message me (on or off list) with your test ANI so we can evaluate what TG the call was delivered on. Thanks! Geoff

Discuss SIPNOC -- Voice training, Engineering talks
by lindsey＠e-c-group.com May 12, 2016

May 12, 2016

SIPNOC (www.sipnoc.org) is back this year, June 21-23, 2016 in Herndon, Virginia, USA. Training: -- WebRTC on-the-wire / and in-the-API by Alan Johnston (an RFC3261 author) -- Voice over LTE & IMS by Manpreet Singh -- VoIP Fundamentals: SIP, RTP, SBCs, Security from James Puckett and me. Peer-reviewed conference talks are the two days following training. These are submitted by engineers including many several VoiceOps folks. These are engineers actively tackling tough issues in building profitable, scalable, robust Voice networks. "Grandfather of VoIP" and another RFC3261 author, Henning Schulzrinne, will be speaking. He's a very accessible academic and very knowledgable about the regulatory landscape. SIPNOC is the kind of conference where you can typically walk right up and speak to the speakers, and have lunch or dinner together afterwards. I've been a SIPNOC fan since they started. It's a great non-academic, non-marketing venue. For anybody who's going -- what do you find useful? For anybody who's not going -- what would it take to get you to a meeting of other engineers? Reply here or directly to me. I'm interested. --- Mark R Lindsey, +1-229-316-0013, mark at ecg.co
