800 calling through SipBroker (via CallCentric)
azrobert:
Sorry, I think I got up too early this morning.
I fixed the error in my Reply #32

Thanks for the revision. The site was down for a stretch today. It even affected the Obitalk expert page which made changes slow and unreliable. In the meantime, I pretty much removed all the special code and tried the RonR global ideasip solution. It seems to be working, but one weird thing is it filters numbers itself. When you dial 18005551212 it takes you to "Free 411" which is a commercial service, but if you dial the same 800# via sipbroker or GV (and I imagine a POTS company) it answers at ATT toll free information. As long as it does what I want, I will wait on re-trying the Outbound call route solution.
Now, disregarding all of the special alternatives we have tried, can you help me figure out why my setup was still requiring the **1 even though the codes seemed to take care of it automatically via Primary Line? If I have a logic error somewhere, I would like to find it now before it becomes an issue, if ever.

Using a VG is the better method.
When you use CC the call goes thru CC and then to SIPBroker.
When you use a VG the call goes directly to the 800 service provider, eliminating 1 hop.
You will get faster response, but probably only a couple milliseconds.
CallWithUs sends you to the AT&T version.
If you want them change the VG AccessNumber to:
sp1(tf.callwithus.com) or sp2(tf.callwithus.com)
If you want to shorten the dialing do the following.
Add to the Phone Port DigitMap:
411|
Change the Voice Gateway DigitMap to:
(<411:18005551212>|18(00|88|77|66|55|44)xxxxxxx)
Now dial 411 or an 800 number.
I changed my config to the above and it works.
To diagnose the previous routing problem, please post the ITSP B DigitMap and the Phone Port OutboundCallRoute.

Those are posted earlier in this thread. The ITSP B is the default given as in the Obi110 (mine is a 100 but same map). The Outbound call route has had Mvg8 added, but before that it was the default. Current copy is:
{([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mvg8):vg8},{(Mpli):pli}

Do you find tf.callwithus.com superior in any way?
I use tollfree.future-nine.com and tf.callwithus.com. With Future9 you must prefix the number with "**".
Both of these providers will use the UserID as the outbound CallerID.
proxy.ideasip.com does not send a CallerID.
proxy.tollfreenation.com, tollfreegateway.com, sip.denetron.com and sipbroker.com also send CallerID. I haven't use these recently, so I don't know if they still work.
I need CallerID when calling a few 800 numbers.
Caller ID when calling a toll free number can be a time saver. Some of the places I call use my CID to pull up my account so for me that is definitely a plus.
I also do not send my true caller ID to companies I am not familiar with. Since you can't block CID to toll free numbers I currently use a Google account with no GV number attached to it. Then they see that generic Google number in CID that just goes to an answering machine.
I had Pitney Bowes collect my CID without my permission when I called them from work. They started calling me at work and claimed I gave them the number. Their telemarketing tactics border on harassment. The whole thing ended with legal threats and me reporting them to the FCC. I was never a customer. I simply inquired one time about their services. I would like to hope they cleaned up their act.
I think I'll use the info you gave here to create a star code to block my CID to 1800 numbers since my current Google Voice trick will cease to function soon.
