Hi, Talking about dial plans, let me point out a weakness in all the open source & lots of the private soft switches when it comes to dial plans. Lots of people offer soft switch international services. But what they cannot offer the user their own country dialling. For example I use an ITSP in Portugal & the UK. I am based in France. Example: * to dial Portugal I will use the Portuguese ITSP but I dial locally as though I am in Portugal. If I want to dial elsewhere, I have to do (preselection digit) then (+) then (country code) then (strip out the zero) then (the rest of the plan) * similarly for the UK So for either of these I have to do a who stack of dial plans in my PC/CPE to account for this. A smarter way is for the soft switch to know the person is French, i.e. user inputs his physical location during subscription or ITSP does a whois lookup & finds out where (what country) the user's IP address is allocated to, then modifies the dial plan. The complexity here would be that during the dialling, the soft switch must also know what gateway it is going to use, where it is, i.e. which country & region, and do the necessary digit manipulation. The commercial systems do this like Broadsoft, Netcentrex, Cirpack etc. This sound reasonable? I know it is a difficult task as I ask my engineers to look at it & they said it is more difficult as you also have to add all the other route fail-over, call forwarding etc. rules in to the equation.

The scope of this is limited, its only to provide a replacement dialplan for what users would be used to in a given country. That way the way they used the PSTN telephone provider they can with freeswitch. Currently there is: NANPA (the 18 or so countries that are country code 1) Netherlands Spain - thanks to David Villasmil Venezuela - thanks to David Villasmil If you want to create a new one for your local area the readme gives full instructions on how. The rumor is that this is going to go into trunk soon so getting this filled out (it only takes 2 minutes) would be nice. look for it in SRC/scripts/contrib/trixter/dialplan in an svn repository near you. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ Freeswitch-dev mailing list Freeswitch-dev@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-dev UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-dev http://www.freeswitch.org
