[Freeswitch-users] External voicemail issue

No matter what I try I can't seem to get rid of these audio problems. Are
there any known issues with Skype connect that anyone knows about?

I'm thinking of signing up with another SIP provider to test but I don't
know of any other providers that offer pay as you go like Skype. Also as
calls are fine I'm led to believe its not the Skype trunk at fault so don't
want to waste money if I don't have to.

Is it worth installing on CentOS 5? The wiki lists some issues with 6
although I thought I would be safe on 6.3

Sorry to be asking so many questions, could just do with some pointers
