| JT | i know what you mean you need to explain the setup better |
| docelmo | ok.. |
| JT | what sort of pstn connection? |
| docelmo | Cell phone or Home Phone -> Called Toll Free -> Routed to TF Vendor -> MVTS II(My switch) -> Asterisk(Customer's App_Queue) |
| JT | cell phone acts the same as home phone? |
| docelmo | yep |
| JT | make sense for it to fade in and out on cell phone |
| docelmo | Just fades in and out.. I have done a RTP debug and found that when no audio packets are coming to the asterisk box it doesnt send any of the MOH packets to the caller |
| JT | but landline is weird ah |
| docelmo | I was told this is a CN or VAD issue I am trying to figure out if I can resolve it in asterisk some where |
| JT | does the asterisk box have any zaptel timing? |
| docelmo | nope I can install it if need be well ZTdummy |
| JT | i think MoH needs zap timing |
| docelmo | Let me google.. This is the first time I have heard this Well its app_queue not so much MOH even tho MOH has the same issue |
| JT | maybe it also has a bug when VAD is turned on, i dunno |
| Strom_M | asterisk doesn't support VAD |
| docelmo | I know |
| menaro | mosty: Yes, I've tried that :) |
| iCEBrkr | So what are cheap options for SMS in the US? |
| menaro | mosty: So punching #5 on transfer will give "Spawn extension (someextension, 5, 0)" |
| Zeeek | iCEBrkr for what? |
| iCEBrkr | Zeeek: To send SMS messages. I was check'n out bayhams... *shrug* There's got to be something besides them. |
| Zeeek | for what purpose, business or pleasure |
| iCEBrkr | Pleasure? How about tinkering? :P |
| Zeeek | a lot of sites send sms now, stuff like twitter tinkering, twitter and jaiku for sure you can send a zillion free sms skype does it but not free |
| iCEBrkr | So what? I write something using CURL() to interface Asterisk to Twitter? |
| Zeeek | iCEBrkr easily, the API is public |
| iCEBrkr | hrrrm Interesting |
