[Freeswitch-dev] Best way to test DID is hitting Freeswitch
I have thousands of DID's and wondering what is the best method to run tests to see if these numbers are hitting our Freeswitch server. We have problems with our carrier assigning our numbers to other companies and need to preemptively know if the number is not pointing to us anymore before our clients find out. Currently, I run a command to originate a call for each DID which updates a database entry to see if that number went through are server. I am looking for a more efficient way to test all these numbers. Thanks. - Jim
That¹s about the only way you can tell that... I have to question your choice of carrier if they are doing that on a routine basis... On 12/14/12 5:18 PM, "Everyday User" <everydayuser11@gmail.com> wrote:

Your other option is if you're storing CDRs (which you should be) is to have some tool analysing your calls against a list of DIDs to flag up which ones are not receiving any calls. Then you can check those. At the very least that might decrease the number of originates you're having to do. No calls might mean just no calls, but it might also flag up that the DID has been reassigned to point elsewhere. But I agree with Ken... they shouldn't be doing this, and if it's becoming the norm I'd look elsewhere. On 15 December 2012 22:00, Ken Rice <krice@freeswitch.org> wrote:

Buy a circuit/minutes/whatever from another carrier. Write a match at the top of your dialplan to catch calls coming from a number assigned to the circuit above. Make the match conditional for only the caller id number of that circuit (matching any destination number). Because the caller id number is globally unique you'll be the only person using it. Then use FreeSWITCH originate commands to send calls to the DIDs you're porting on a periodic basis from that number. When you see the call come back and hit your server you'll know the number has been ported to you. Make sure to take care and not harass your customers but I'll leave that part of the exercise up to you. On Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 6:18 PM, Everyday User <everydayuser11@gmail.com> wrote:
