Intermittent dial out problem

Sometimes, when I hang up and try to redial, I cannot get a dial tone.
I have tested three different phones and it happens on all of them.
I have rung 151 but of course when I ring them the problem is not there because at that point I have dialled out.
I might make several phone calls and all will be fine, othertimes not and I have to wait a while until I am able to ring out.

Have you tried connecting to the test socket and see if the fault clears if not then you need to report an intermittent dial tone

Problem with dial out

I have a SPA2002 adapter which I use with an asterisk server. On the asterisk I have configured call forwarding that can be enabled by dialing *21*number#. The problem is that the linksys adapter won't let me dial *21, it immediately gives a busy tone, I guess because it tries to process it as a service itself. How can I configure the adapter to dial out with *21*? I have tried to alter different parameters of the adapter configuration, but without luck.

You're mixing up two things.. there's the asterisk as in one of the button on your phone, and then there's the asterisk as in your PBX.
hwittenb was refering to the button on the phone.. your phone dialplan needs to allow dialling stuff like "*21*" - so if you can post the dialplan on your phone, we can see if it indeed allows that number to be dialled. I'm guessing it doesn't since the call never gets to your PBX.
There are two essential pieces to tracking down a problem with your VoIP equipment:
The configuration of every device involved
SIP protocol traces
And don't forget: there's no such thing as giving too much information when describing a problem.

Still after update to 5.0.1 same problem with the 4S with dial out, connecting to internet, echo in reception. It is the second phone.

Try deleting the account(s) you're having problems with, resetting your phone (hold on/off and home buttons simultaneously 10-15 seconds until Apple logo appears, release buttons and wait for it to restart), then add back your mail accounts. I've read that this has worked for some.

My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book). The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine. I have changed the bands, but the problem comes back. Transmitter problem or interference?

My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book). My hard-wired iMac still has internet capability. The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine. I have changed the bands back and forth, but the problem comes back. How can I check if it is a transmitter problem or interference?

Let me see if I can suggest a strategy.
I have talked with my ISP and he said that I am not the only one with an Airport Extreme with the same issue. He said to try to write the DNS direclty, rather than using the Auto settings - still nothing works.
What modem do you have and what sort of broadband?
What mode is the AE in.. router or bridge?
I have an Airport Express from 2010. Since about a month and definetly since yesterday, I cannot connect any device via Wifi to it although LAN connection works correctly.
Is this express or extreme.. the rest of the post you refer to extreme.
What is the actual model number of the AE? A1xxx from the base or the part number MCxxx from the box.
If the AE is bridge.. I want you to try a different method.. put it in router mode.. don't worry about double NAT but ensure the IP range of the modem /router is different to the AE.. so if one is 192.168.x.x then the AE on default at 10.x.x.x is fine.. if the main router is 10.x then move the AE to 192.168.x.x
Make sure the guest wireless is off.
Using a 5.6 utility on your 10.6.8 OS mini go to the log and see if the wireless is registering..
You should see lists of wireless connection like..
Post as many screenshots of the setup as you can.. it helps loads.
IPv6 is starting to become a pain.. try it off and try local link and try auto.. in the computer.

Unity Connection 8.6 not able to forward from extension (dial out)

Dear all,
I'm having a problem at a customer where i'm not able to forward calls externally from the Unity (that's a wish too).
Basically here is the request for which I'm having an issue:
- I'm making a menu with a number XXX (CTI Port) with a System Call Handler
- Under that menu i've 3 choices which points to 3 internal numbers (YY1, YY2, YY3) (CTI Ports).
- All the CTI Ports are forwarded to international numbers which are the final destination
So the flow is the following:
NOT Working
- XXX --> Choice 1 --> YY1 --> Forwaded all to 000countrycode
Working
- XXX --> Choice 1 --> YY1 --> Forwarded all to 444 (internal number)
The strange thing is that I tested everything when I was on site by calling internally XXX from an internal number and it was able to forward all my call to the international number ...
If anyone have a clue about what I can do, I'll appreciate a lot ...
Thanks in advance
C.

Hi Taranjit,
The rules are not made to enable unity to dial out, my goal was to permit only internal calls, but in this specific case, the internal number, is a CTI Port forwarded all to the external international number...
I tried the Unity connection system handler from a internal phone and it was working perfectly, but not if the call is coming from outside apparently.
Kind regards
Christophe

Power Mac - G4 QuickSilver and dial-up problem..

Hi all, first post here please excuse my naiviety!
As well as owning a Macbook I've been helping a friend out with their 9-10 yr old G4 Power Mac. The problem started with it not being able to power on so I tried resetting CUDA etc; that didn't work so I sourced a replacement Power Mac (power supply being impossible to replace).
All went well, swapped the HD out of his duff M5183 and put it into the newer QuickSilver. Booted-up fine and apart from running quicker it looked like his old Mac. When he tried dial-up (he can't get BB) he kept getting a no dial tone error. So I had a fiddle and managed to get a tone... however when the 0845 number was dialled all you get is a beep....beep....beep noise like the line's engaged or unobtainable. I managed to inadvertently wipe his ISP settings so tried another ISP (called freeisp, 0844 7110059) - still get the same reply on the line with this.
Question is, I'm guessing the modem on the QuickSilver is different to that on the M5183? Do I need to install drivers? The modem seems to dial out okay so I'm a bit confused.
Any help gratefully rec'd... he hasn't been able to get online for some time now.

According to this article:
Apple USB Modem: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Sep 15, 2008 ... You can use an Apple USB modem with any
Mac computer capable of running Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later.
You MUST have Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3152
Even email and sparse internet activity would be slow.
Still, that invites further research to be sure; and also to
check what update or upgrade the computer hardware
may need to be ready for the demands of the OS on it.
Hardware upgrades in RAM chip & hard disk drives are
the primary ones for basic physical upgrade; and then
the OS X. And Panther is not really adequate today...
Tiger has support; Panther has increasingly more wants
that are not met and does not see updates. It's rather old.
You should check into the available "retail boxed" Tiger
full installer sets that have previously been sold to people
and now those persons have upgraded to Leopard 10.5.
These should be priced less than online reseller's retail.
In some places, the universal install DVD set is not costly
once you get away from the retail demand. Amazon is a
source of retail goods; ebay is a place to find retail prices.
Individuals, whose goods you would have to be aware of
before buying (or if given a retail box Tiger installer DVD,
be informed as to what you really had.) Be sure it is NOT a
version made for a single model or series of computer,
since those would only work in that one model line.
Without access to DSL or faster cable broadband, getting
all the update bits for the system would be prohibitive; no
matter the version of OSX (or any OS) it would be too slow.
You may be able to get copies of the correct downloads
from persons you know; but you have to be sure they are
the correct ones, and not versions for some other device.
(Some update files are for Intel-based Mac, not PPC-based.)
If you have a portable computer, a list of upgrade downloads
needed (for a needy desktop computer) and a place to go and
experience fast broadband or adequate DSL, the necessary
update files a new OS X installation would require to be up to
date could be gotten; they could be saved to a CD for later use.
The latest security update, all the java updates, the Combo update,
Quicktime, Flash player, Shockwave Player, modern browsers, &
other items are required to bring even Tiger up to today's web
and daily use if going online (or if using applications needing it.)
With a list of needed applications, and/or web sites where the
downloads could be acquired, and getting 'standalone' versions
for later use in a computer later, one can deal with a slow web
access point at home, by going elsewhere to get the essentials.
And to get them with the idea of making a backup archive for
later re-install should that event of necessity occur. The Apple
Support Downloads site has OS X related updates & is search-
able. So knowing file names to do this, that way, is important.
Having the subject computer at the point where high speed
internet is available makes all kinds of sense, to just update
the newer OS X version and make it work correctly.
And the need for this would become painfully clear to even
someone with no credible amount of experience. Anyone
with hopes of getting a task done in their lifetime could see it.
Good luck & happy computing!

hi Ernesto,
As the problem you are facing is a dial out issue on MPE, go
through the checklist mentioned below in order to confirm the configuration
is intact.
Here is the checklist :
1.    Ensure that H323 GW is defined on CCM/CUCM.
Device > Gateway > find.
Look for a device name that equals either MPE's hostname, FQDN, or IP
Address.
2.    Ensure that h323 Gateways are configured on MPE.
MPE Administration Center > System Configuration > Call Configuration > H323
Configuration
Ensure that h323 is enabled.
Ensure that you have entered your CCM's IPs in h323 Gateway 1, 2
3.    Ensure that CCM's interface with MPE is up.
Ensure that MPE's IP Address is listed under the "IP Address" column.
Ensure that this IP Address is that of the FIRST NIC on MPE, not the second.
4.    Verify that MPE has the CSS required to call the destination.
FIRST, FIND MPE's CSS:
When MPE places a call, the CSS in question is Device > Gateway > MPE-GW >
Inbound
THEN the relevant config is under Device > "Call Routing Information -
Inbound Calls" > Calling Search Space
SECOND, FIND DESTINATION PATTERN's PARTITION:
If the destination is an IP Phone within the CCM/CUCM Cluster, then the
relevant config is under Device > Phone > click on Directory Number in CCM.
If the destination is a PSTN endpoint/phone, then the relevant config is
under Device > Route Pattern.
5.    Ensure that your user profile is set to allow outdials.
MPE Administration Center > User Configuration > User Profile Management >
Your User Profile > Can call out of meetings should be set to "Yes".
6.    When you place a call from from the CLI, the system applies permissions
from the "Guest" User profile since mpxadmin or root are not Users within
the MPX application. To allow this to work, you need to verify two
settings:
MPE Administration Center > User Configuration > User Profile Management >
Guest > Can call out of meetings should be set to "Yes".
Ensure that the Guest profile is not in a "locked" state.
MPE Administration Center > System Configuration > Usage Configuration >
Allow Guest outdials should be set to "Yes".
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Karthik

My blackberry is dialing out on its own, explain how this is possible please :)

My blackberry curve dials out the same number without any attempt on my part, for instance I had left my phone on the table and it dialed out. It continued to dial out the same number until I deleted the number from my contacts.This occurred numerous times on separate occasions.
Not only did it dial out that number but also spelled out the name of the individual it dials out on a voice txt. How is this possible?
It does not dial out any other contact and ever since i've delted this contact the phone no longer dials out.
what are some explanations for this problem?

Better news my charger I was using appears to maybe be part of the thing. I wouldn't work so I got my brothers and it charges so is it possible the old charger was shorting it thus the safety bit killed the power? Maybe the angle is just happen stance.

Bad echo while dialing out on a new 8520

Hi,
Been getting bad echo of my own voice when I dial out. The echo starts even before the call gets connected. This is a brand new phone and i've noticed this from the first call itself. Can anyone help with this?

Hi,
I have the same problem too... . I got this phone just 10 days back.
Thanks,

VOIP Dial out issues with SRP547W

Hi All, this is my first post so I appologise if I have posted it in the wrong place up front.
I have recently purchased an SRP 547w replacing an 877w and linksys pap2t voip box.
I have 1 major issue at present - no matter which number I dial, I cannot ring out. I get what appears to be an engaged tone.
History: I used to run the linksys papt2 behind the 877w and it worked without issue. Ports opened and forwarded were:
udp 5060-5061
udp 8000-8001
my SIP port is 5060
the RTP ports are 8000-8001
I know this works on the SRP547 as without them, I cannot make any calls into the system.
These settings worked perfectly on the PAP2T; I have copied them across to the SRP547W and opened the same ports. I can call VOIP device on the specified number, but still no dialing out.
The 2 main differences I can see on the new device 1) The VOIP is integrated into the router so I'm not routing traffic in exaxtly the same way as I was with the PAPt2 and the second being that the SRP547W also has the ability to connect a PSTN line - which I do not have.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the issue?
For the record, I have diabled the firewall - same result; additionally, if I connect the PAP2T to the SRP547 and forward the ports (or enable UPNP) then I can actually dial out which means I think its safew to say that my issue is within the SRP547W.
I can conrim that the SRP547 does 'hear' the tones from the phone. When I dial certain numbers (to force certein codecs) the system responds to them.
If anyone else has had a similar issue, could you help me out with some direction?
I'd post logs, but I'm not sure how to get them off this device (yet) - I've only had this device for 4 days.....

I forgot to post an update.
Get this, I figured out the problem and it was Sun Rocket.
They did a firmware update over night that caused it to break.
After about three months of working with Linksys, Comcast and Microsoft and tyring everything I was told. It still failed.
Then after another month, I finally was contacted by an engineer from Sun Rocket who was giving me advice over everything we already tried.
I asked him if there was a firmware update from the date I put the complaint ticket in. He checked the database and sure enought, that is what it was.
Their firmware update did not work well with the Linksys router. He rolled back the firmware and now it works perfect.
The SunRocket tech said he put me on a list of Sun Rocket Gizmos NOT TO update firmware.
Well , about 2 months later, they updated it by mistake and now I am going through the pains with SunRocket all over again.
I told them how they fixed it but the Level 1, 2 and 3 techs don't seem to know how to roll back the firmware and they did not have any notes from the engineer on what version to roll it back to.
The the root cause was SunRocket's Gizmo.
Trust me, I've tried chaning the MTU to remoting in to the Sunrocket Gizmo and change the bandwith settings ect ect. I've been through the ringer and I still have problems with them.
The SunRocket Gizmo can not handle the high bandwidth like the linksys router can.
Good Luck, I only have SunRocket for another month and I am thnking about going with Vonage or Comcast.
Here is a picture of the SunRocket Gizmo I am using.

Can I develop servlets locally using IE6 without dialing out?

I have Windows 2000, Internet Explorer 6 and JRun 3.1 on my system. I also have a dial-up internet connection.
My question is, is there a way to use my browser to access local servlet generated web pages on my system without IE requesting to dial out for each request going to the servlet? Is there some kind of setting that allows me to develop on a local system? Would Netscape work differently than IE?
When I start my servlet from IE6 using http://localhost:8102/..., IE always prompts "The Web page you requested is not available offline. To view this page, click Connect." If I click Stay Offline, I get no output at all. If I click Connect, I get another prompt stating "Select the service you want to connect to and then enter you user name and password." If at this point I click Work Offline, the request is sent to the servlet and the request is processed. The problem with this is this prompting happens for every request going to the servlet. I also have to keep deleting the off-line content files so that the changed forms get displayed, not the forms stored in the cache. I have "Check for newer versions of stored pages" set to "Every visit to the page".
Is there any way that I can set up development on my system without dialing out for each request?
Bob

Yeah, IE is silly. There is no reason for IE to want to dial up if your server is local. You might want to go through IE help or Tools->Internet Options to figure out.
Netscape (atleast the version I have) will not ask you to "connect".

Phone won't dial out. Old phone received missed calls yesterday instead of my new phone.

Current phone suddenly won't dial out. Yesterday my old phone (which I use for WiFi only and which has not been activated for about 1 year) started receiving calls instead of my current phone. I was not around to answer them, but they only registered as missed calls on my old phone.
Today I tried making a call and my current phone won't dial out--trying to dial any number just gives me silence and then it disconnects after 30 seconds or so. I tried dialing out on the old phone, but it gives me a roaming message and wants me to either buy a calling PIN or call collect to dial out. On my current phone I can still use data/internet fine and I think texting still works (tested by texting my own number and I received the text).
I've tried powering off the old phone for a while and then restarting the new phone, but it didn't help... I can't call verizon since I can't dial out and its saturday night so it looks like their chat is offline..
How can I fix this? Help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately *611 does not work -- like all numbers I try to dial, it goes to the "dialing" screen then does nothing for about 30 seconds, then it disconnects.
*228 Brings up a message box that says "a verizon wireless sim card has activated your service and updated your phone's roaming capabilities. Your phone number is [my number]" The problem is not fixed however.
I should also clarify that I have been using my old phone for wifi/mp3 playing just fine for the past 1 year without experiencing this problem ever before. My current/newer phone has been working fine right next to it all that time. I did just pull my old SIM card out of my old phone just now in case that might help (should have done that a long time ago). I also removed the battery. That was several hours ago, still having the problem after rebooting the new phone and testing many times.
Using another person's phone I have now verified that I can't make or receive any calls on my new phone, but I can send and receive text messages as well as use mobile data/internet. The newer phone is an LG G2 and the old phone is a Galaxy Nexus if that matters.
Thanks for the help so far

Downloaded ios7 and now can't dial out or receive calls on my iphone4

I cannot dial out or receive calls on my iphone 4 since downloading ios7

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
