PhonePower Slow Call Setup

(1/5) > >>

PeteMoss:
I recently replaced GV with Phonepower's $60 special and when I test it by calling my cell phone, it takes a full 12 seconds before courtesy ringback commences and then cell phone rings just after the second ringback which is unacceptable IMO. When I call the same cell phone using VOIPo (also on another OBI202), ringback starts in just ~2 seconds and cell phone also rings after 2nd ringback which is acceptable IMO. I live about 25 miles east of STL and VOIPo's server is in Dallas while Phonepower's is in LA. Still I find the PP call setup period really bad. Comments/advice?  ???

Something isn't right. What you described (~2 seconds) is what I experience with my PhonePower line.

Have you tried resetting your ATA to factory defaults and reconfiguring it for PP?

MikePA:
OP: From recent personal experience, power cycle your Internet modem/router, then your OBI box (order important) before going to the trouble of restoring the OBI to factory defaults.

PeteMoss:
I  tried the router then 202 power cycles but there was not change. Regarding resetting the ATA to factory, I hate going to that extreme. The OBI setup wizard is how I changed from GV to PP under preferred providers. One thing I have noticed is the VOIPo 202 is F/W build 4269 while the PP 202 is on build 4041. I cannot update the F/W on either 202 using ***6 or the OBITALK Dashboard yellow triangle. ***6 says software update not available on both 202s and nothing happens after clicking triangles/OK on the Dashboard. Something is not right. I suppose I could do an update manually that was recommended by someone on another forum but I'm not sure build 4330 would solve anything. UPDATE: Build 4330 did not solve anything.

Taoman:
What happens when you dial a number but end it with "#" before sending the call? Is it still the long call setup?
