HELP! IPkall + Localphone weird issues

The problem with that is I don't have any calling credit on Localphone in order to place an outgoing call.
I believe you may be able to dial out toll free numbers even without any credit. You can either dial a calling card number to test it out. Or you may call an airline flight status line. Most of them have voice recognition and you can test if it can hear you. HTH

I just tried another round and no good. I once again removed GV on sp1 and setup Localphone instead. I tried many combinations of localphone.com, proxy.localphone.com port 5060, port 5070, port 5061. The only thing that would register was proxy.localphone.com with 5060, but that caused audio issues. Other combos wouldn't even register.
Erased the settings and replaced them with Callcentric. Boom! First try worked. Port 5060. So localphone is temperamental.
After the trial, I put GV back on sp1 since that is the most reliable.
The main targets seem to be, (based on readings):
-port 5060 on uverse router is flaky (don't know how to make this work)
-need STUN (I need instructions)
- disable SIP/AGL on router (don't think is possible on uverse 3600)
Why is only Localphone so screwy?
If I want to test the voice gateway, what do I need to do, and do I again need to remove GV from the SP slot? Can you have Localphone on a gateway even if you have the sp set to another provider? What is the likelihood 2way voice will work on a gateway even though it fails on sp?
I know that's a lot of questions, but I'm trying to give all info I have, and not really a whiz at this stuff.

Let's try this first. Forward the following port range to your Obi for whichever service provider slot (SPx) you have localphone set up on. (Select udp in step 11)
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB413180&cv=812#fbid=ARTAlArp4KY
SP1 16600 -16798
SP2 16800 - 16998
SP3 17000 - 17098
SP4 17100 - 17198
Stun server setting on the Obi
Service providers >>> ITSP profile X >>>> General
Localphone does not provide it's own stun server so you would need to find a public stun server. Just Google it.
EDIT: The above is assuming you are using ITSP profile A for SP1, profile B for SP2,profile c for SP3, and profile D for SP4.

-------------
That was very helpful. I'm going to set aside some time, (maybe tomorrow) to test this. I have some minor follow up questions, before I dive in, please:
First of all, FWIW, I have an Obi100, so I just have sp1 and sp2
sp1 is where I want Localphone
1. After the test, whether it works or not, if I want to change sp1 back to GV or even CC, do I need to remove the port forwards?
2. Which of the above steps (port forward or stun) do you think is more likely to fix it?
3. Is port 5060 a non-issue here? (works on CC)
4. Why do you think only localphone acts weird when other ITSPs don't?

Since you will end up using some sip provider on SP1 I wouldn't bother changing it back personally. If you were to use other sip devices or sip software you could have conflicts. Should that become an issue you can set the Obi to use an entirely different set of ports.

A stun server is easy and it can't hurt anything. Start there.

The Obi should open that port up by talking to the sip provider. If you plan to take direct IP calls without registration you should forward 5060 and 5061 to your Obi. You should read the following post if you open ports 5060 or 5061. I recommend method 4 in this post. We call it the "Oleg Method".

It's hard to say. It might have something to do with which rtp port they use. The Obi uses a range of ports Localphone could choose to use any of them.
Obihai recommends port forwarding UDP Port 10000 also but don't worry about it unless you use Obi to Obi calling.
