Testing inbound calls from LOTS of origin points?
Anyone know of any good way to test inbound calls from lots of different origins? Similar to what you do with things like 'global dns propagation checker'? I'd like to be able to periodically validate inbound calls from a bunch of different sources - ideally taking different paths inbound. (We've had a number of occasions lately where we suspect a routing problem external to our sip carrier only affecting certain inbound call sources.) I realize I can probably do this by hand, just by getting SIP trunks from a bunch of different providers, but is there any way that is a bit less manual/time consuming/third party to do the heavy lifting/etc? -- Nathan ------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan Neulinger nneul@mst.edu Missouri S&T Information Technology (573) 612-1412 System Administrator - Architect
Hi Nathan, Justin Newman proposed something along these lines about a month ago on Voiceops. He wrote: --- Greetings, I'm currently building out daily testing of a large set of outbound providers against a wide array of destinations. I'm looking for other facilities-based LECs who would offer up a telephone number that either: - answers the phone then plays a recording we provide (consisting of test tones, etc.) - forwards incoming calls to a toll free number (which will answer & play a similar recording) Estimated call volume is 100-200 calls per day, max. of 1 concurrent call. ACD of 15-30s. If you work for a company who would be willing, please drop me an email off list and we can coordinate. The perks of participating include knowing someone's doing a fairly substantial test of a wide array of carriers a couple of times a day, and opening tickets with the carriers when there are problems. We'll also try to provide some visibility into problems, particularly if we see them from the big carriers. Many thanks, -jbn --- There were no replies on list but he may have received some directly... On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 11:20 AM, Nathan Neulinger <nneul@mst.edu> wrote:

Thank you, I will inquire with him to see if he got anywhere with it. On 01/07/2015 11:00 AM, Kristian Kielhofner wrote:
