Setting voip phone in Canada

<< < (2/2)

ONCANADA:
Hi QBZappy and hwittenb,

I just got my Freephoneline hooked up.  They recommended: 

(911|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|1xxxxxxxxxx|011xxxxxxxxxxxx.|98*|[6-7]x*xxxxxxxxxxx.)

for LINKSYS dial string.

Can you please show me to change the settings correspond to OBI202.

Sorry for a newbie question.  I tried to read a lot in the forum but they are so confusing.

Thank you.

Until a Real Dial Plan Expert responds, let me put your mind at ease.
Most of this is 'standard practice' and is already in the Obi:
(911|                     Emergency number
[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|     local 10 digit calling 
1xxxxxxxxxx|         1+ Long Distance calls
011xxxxxxxxxxxx.|  011 International calls
98*|                       Voice Mail access
[6-7]x*xxxxxxxxxxx.)       No idea what this is for!!!!

In other words you should be able to make all typical calls without changeing anything.

zapattack has explained most of it. I guess the [6-7]x*xxxxxxxxxxx. Is to allow a two-digit code beginning with 6 or 7 followed by star, then a 11 digit number. Maybe to set up call diversions  etc.

The correct OBi format for the DigitMap is:

(911|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|1xxxxxxxxxx|011xx.|98*|[6-7]x*xx.)

It looks like that you now have at least two providers, probably on sp1 and sp2. To provide you with better DigitMaps you would need to tell us:

Which provider is on which spX (sp1, sp2 etc).

Physical Interfaces -> PHONE Port 1&2 -> PrimaryLine : (SP1 Service is default)

Service Providers -> ITSP Profile A -> General -> DigitMap:

Service Providers -> ITSP Profile B -> General -> DigitMap:

Which numbers you would like to route through which service providers.

Which service is dealing with 911.

Thanks!

I appreciate your help.

I have Acanac and Freephoneline.  Acanac gave me that for free for joining them with the 1 year cable internet.  They will start charging after 1 year period.  Both Acanac and Freephoneline have the same features so I just pick one, which is Freephoneline.

Is the DigitMap you listed above good enough with just one phone line?

Anyway, I did enter DigitMap codes as you suggested above.  I also notice there are two more lines that require similar codes.  By default they are:

Phone1 DigitMap      :   ([1-9]x?*(Mpli)|[1-9]S9|[1-9][0-9]S9|911|**0|***|#|**8(Mbt)|**1(Msp1)|**2(Msp2)|**3(Msp3)|**4(Msp4)|**9(Mpp)|(Mpli))

Phone1 OutboundCallRoute:    {([1-9]x?*(Mpli)):pp},{(<#:>):ph2},{(<**8:>(Mbt)):bt},{**0:aa},{***:aa2},{(<**1:>(Msp1)):sp1},{(<**2:>(Msp2)):sp2},{(<**3:>(Msp3)):sp3},{(<**4:>(Msp4)):sp4},{(<**9:>(Mpp)):pp},{(Mpli):pli}

Do I have to change anything at all?

Thanks again.

ianobi:
FreePhoneLine recommended this (adapted for OBi):
(911|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|1xxxxxxxxxx|011xx.|98*|[6-7]x*xx.)
So it should go in the DigitMap for the spX which FreePhoneLine is on.

sp1 = Service Providers -> ITSP Profile A -> General -> DigitMap
sp2 = Service Providers -> ITSP Profile B -> General -> DigitMap

It is normally best to not alter the Phone DigitMaps or their OutboundCallRoutes.

You should set your Phone Port 1 PrimaryLine and/or Phone Port 2 PrimaryLine and Auto Attendant PrimaryLine to the SP Service of the provider that you intend to make most calls. This way, when using that service, you will not need to prefix the numbers with ** codes.
