Hi Cal, Have you investigated AQL? I use them currently for my DID, not on the type of scale you are talking about but I have been impressed with their services so far. Luke On 29 January 2013 20:55, <freeswitch-users-request@lists.freeswitch.org>wrote:

(jan 2013) Hello everyone,
I've been recently reviewing several DID providers, and looking for some feedback.
I appreciate this isn't totally on topic for FreeSWITCH, but over the last few months I've found the community feedback to be invaluable - so I'm hoping it might open up a good discussion.
I would be really interested to hear other peoples experiences with their DID providers, as much detail as possible.
There are several providers we've looked at, but they are either reselling others services, or do not deliver the service quality we are looking for.
The criteria I've been looking for is;
* Able to provide either US or UK numbers * Exposes an API that allows control of purchasing and routing * Guarantees premium call quality, good latency, and inbound CLI. * Does NOT operate on a market/exchange basis * Trading as a telecoms provider for more than 5 years * Has a reputable name within the community or industry
So far, I have only found the following providers that meet this criteria;
* Hello Telecom - UK numbers only, ITSPA registered, no charges for minutes, rental or concurrent channels. No minimum charges. Excellent call quality/latency, no CLI problems, and almost no downtime in the last 6 months. However, they do not offer a sane purchasing API which makes automation difficult, and interop with FS has been somewhat painful.
* Simwood - UK numbers only, ITSPA registered. Slightly more expensive but still very fair. Currently at inter-op stage, so can't comment further - but they seem very good so far.
* Voxbone - Most numbers, ITSPA registered. Extremely high minimum spend, difficult to justify unless you already have existing traffic.
* BT - UK numbers only (I think), ITSPA registered (of course lol).. Over 9000 pages of inter-op and around £10k in set up fees.
Thanks in advance

In my sip profile I have: inbound-bypass-media="true" inbound-codec-negotiation="greedy" inbound-codec-prefs="PCMU,G729"

It also happens regardless of wether I use "late" or "early" negotiation

Any clue on how to achieve this?

The other thing to remember is many of the UK providers use BT's IPEX platform, and basically bulk-break for you. The one issue I've had with Magrathea is that they don't like it when you make many API calls in quick succession. I once needed to set up 26,000 numbers in bulk and they don't seem to have a better way of doing so but they still complained anyway. On 30 January 2013 13:36, BookBag <asaad2@gmail.com> wrote:

You can try to enable syslog trough the GUI and see what the spa 2102 os actually doing. I think it's under the system tab you have syslog and debug server.

(jan 2013) Hello everyone,
I've been recently reviewing several DID providers, and looking for some feedback.
I appreciate this isn't totally on topic for FreeSWITCH, but over the last few months I've found the community feedback to be invaluable - so I'm hoping it might open up a good discussion.
I would be really interested to hear other peoples experiences with their DID providers, as much detail as possible.
There are several providers we've looked at, but they are either reselling others services, or do not deliver the service quality we are looking for.
The criteria I've been looking for is;
* Able to provide either US or UK numbers * Exposes an API that allows control of purchasing and routing * Guarantees premium call quality, good latency, and inbound CLI. * Does NOT operate on a market/exchange basis * Trading as a telecoms provider for more than 5 years * Has a reputable name within the community or industry
So far, I have only found the following providers that meet this criteria;
* Hello Telecom - UK numbers only, ITSPA registered, no charges for minutes, rental or concurrent channels. No minimum charges. Excellent call quality/latency, no CLI problems, and almost no downtime in the last 6 months. However, they do not offer a sane purchasing API which makes automation difficult, and interop with FS has been somewhat painful.
* Simwood - UK numbers only, ITSPA registered. Slightly more expensive but still very fair. Currently at inter-op stage, so can't comment further - but they seem very good so far.
* Voxbone - Most numbers, ITSPA registered. Extremely high minimum spend, difficult to justify unless you already have existing traffic.
* BT - UK numbers only (I think), ITSPA registered (of course lol).. Over 9000 pages of inter-op and around £10k in set up fees.
Thanks in advance

I think ideally, these are the kind of providers we want to stick with - otherwise you end up going through a reseller of a reseller of a reseller of a reseller.. not nice. It's a shame their API doesn't support bulk operations, but as long as they don't have rate limit police like Twitter, then I can live with this :) Cal On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 2:13 PM, Andrew Cassidy < andrew@cassidywebservices.co.uk> wrote:
The other thing to remember is many of the UK providers use BT's IPEX platform, and basically bulk-break for you.
The one issue I've had with Magrathea is that they don't like it when you make many API calls in quick succession. I once needed to set up 26,000 numbers in bulk and they don't seem to have a better way of doing so but they still complained anyway.
