CircleNet would like to introduce ourselves to the Obi world
zorlac:
That's a lot better, the ring delay is ~6sec for CN & ~3sec for GV .
Thanks
ToddAllen:
I'm activated. I successfully placed a couple test calls from the android phone using the app Zoiper. Sound quality as good if not better than GV/GrooveIP though noticeable in call latency perhaps 300 milliseconds. Need more testing to compare the latency to GrooveIP and try to determine if much latency is due to CircleNet.
Then I tried to receive calls. Didn't see how to get a free incoming number via CallCentric without 911 service so I signed up for a free number to receive calls via IPKall. Gave IPKall my SIP credentials for CircleNet which didn't work. Then used a free sipsorcery account with IPKall and added the sipsorcercy SIP credentials to Zoiper and it worked. Sound quality and latency on calls received via IPKall/sipsorcery seemed a bit worse then calls placed via CircleNet.
Next I'm going to try and set up my own SIP server to use instead of sipsorcery. Then if all is working smoothly on the android phone I'll try and reconfigure the Obi100 to use the new services instead of GV.
Anyway CircleNet looks like a keeper.

ToddAllen,
I'm not sure what your CircleNet account number is but we don't have any left for validation this morning so I'm guessing your active now Welcome Aboard!
Now on to your sip question about multiple devices, the answer is HECK YES! connect as many devices as you want to your account. Personally I use SIPdroid on my android devices but any sip client should work for you.

ToddAllen and others,
Glad you got connected and welcome aboard. One other thing to try is using east.circlenet.us or west.circlenet.us in place of outbound.circlenet.us. One set of servers is in Atlanta and the other in California. Your account can connect to either server or both if you have multiple devices.
Thanks,
Sam

Quick followup question on this.. if CallCentric is registered as SP2 and if I want to use CircleNet as outbound on SP2, what changes do I need to make?
Appreciate the help, thanks!
You can share an SP trunk with 2 services by using a Voice Gateway.
Voice Gateways are used with outbound only providers that don't need to register.
CircleNet fits this category.
Keep GV on SP1.
Define Callcentric on SP2
Define CircleNet on Voice Gateway 1:
Voice Services -> Gateways and Trunk Groups -> Voice Gateway1
Name: CircleNet
AccessNumber: sp2(outbound.circlenet.us)
DigitMap: (<8:>1xxxxxxxxxx|<8:1>xxxxxxxxxx|<8:1aaa>xxxxxxx|<8:>011xxxxxx.S3)
AuthUserID: Your_CircleNet_ID (10 digit ID)
AuthPasssword: Your_CircleNet_Password
aaa is your local area code. This is used for 7 digit dialing.
Add to the beginning of the Phone Port OutboundCallRute:
{(Mvg1):vg1},
Continue to use GV as you are currently.
To use CircleNet dial as follows:
814805551212 or
84805551212 or
85551212 or
8011............
After May 15th change the Voice Gateway DigitMap to:
(1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>xxxxxxxxxx|<1aaa>xxxxxxx|011xxxxxx.S3)
Dial without the "8" prefix to use CircleNet.
EDIT ** I had the login username instead of the account number for the AuthUserID. Now it works.. just need to get caller ID straightened out. Hope this helps someone.
EDIT ** ok the Caller ID is working now as I had to add caller ID in the CircleNet interface. It does take a bit of a delay like 5 or 10 seconds to make the call and a bit of static but I will work on that. I saw a post about the delay. If you have any help on these items let me know. For now I am glad the GV/OBI saga is handled here. No casualties. International calling is working also.

HI, I have been using voip since 2003. I started with Vonage and canceled last September and moved to the OBi100. Ya no more bill, err till now. I researched a lot and decided to use CallCentric for inbound and Sam and CircleNet. I replaced SP1 that was Google Voice (GV) with CallCentric (CC) and that is working fine. I can call direct or forward my GV number and I get it on the OBI. So now I signed up with CN and Sam was great and I was set up fast and got my $2 credit. I am just trying to setup CN for my outbound and now I am getting "the provider rejected the number as it is invalid" or something like that.
So I followed what I could figure out from azrobert who has been great. I am an engineer and have done some fancy things in my time but some of the coding here I just don't follow exactly. So it is helpful to get your input.
- I did this:
Add to the beginning of the Phone Port OutboundCallRute:
{(Mvg1):vg1},
Define CircleNet on Voice Gateway 1:
Voice Services -> Gateways and Trunk Groups -> Voice Gateway1
Name: CircleNet
AccessNumber: sp2(outbound.circlenet.us) ** I set this to "sp1(west.circlenet.us)" per Sams last post and assuming Sp1 would be right.
DigitMap: (<8:>1xxxxxxxxxx|<8:1>xxxxxxxxxx|<8:1aaa>xxxxxxx|<8:>011xxxxxx.S3)
I set this to:
(1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>xxxxxxxxxx|<1aaa>xxxxxxx|011xxxxxx.S3)
AuthUserID: Your_CircleNet_ID (10 digit ID) I did this obviously.
AuthPasssword: Your_CircleNet_Password
What I want is to be able to call the US and International dialing normal like 17775551212 or 011whatevernumber.
I will keep trying things but I think I am missing something simple here. When I had GV it all worked fine, so what are the settings I need now for VG1 and the Phone Port to be able to connect and call out with CircleNet?
Thanks.... in advance.. PS ya CircleNet rates are really low. I looked them up on his massive list. :)

voiper1,
The config looks good to me.
Check the OBi100 Call history to see where the call is going and the number sent.
Log into the OBi via the Web interface.
Click Status
Click Call History
The following will eliminate any long pause and won't fix your problem unless you're doing something weird.
ITSP Profile A -> DigitMap:
(1xxxxxxxxxx|<1>[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011xxxxxx.S3)
If you configure the OBi100 via the web interface check:
System Management => Auto Provisioning
Under OBiTalk Provisioning:
Method must be Disabled.
