Just noticed that both of my Future9 dashboards are not connecting. Also their main side has no response. However both of my lines are still in operation.

[Asterisk] extensions.conf examples for TrueCNAM Spam Scoring
Has anybody seen any generic examples for integrating TrueCNAM spam scoring into extensions.conf, so you can accept/reject a call based on the spam score?
I know there is some sort of "TrueCNAM with CallerID Superfecta" plugin for FreePBX, but I'm just running plain old asterisk.
Lately I've been getting a LOT of spam calls coming into my Google Voice numbers. This is especially bad since I'm overseas so they come in the middle of the night.

Anything between Circlenet and Localphone? 1/2¢ Outbound for ATA
I've been using Sam's (amazingly low-priced) CircleNet for outbound calls on 4 Obihai ATAs at my house, my folks, a kid's, and a low-volume small office, as well as a couple of softphones, with differing sub-accts (and CIDs) for each. With Sam's announcement on this forum that CircleNet is "backing away from retail VOIP," I -- and others -- will soon need to find something new.
Localphone seems to be the next lowest at 0.5 cents/min outbound. Anveo Direct, where I have a couple of DIDs I point to my Anveo Retail inbound SIP trunks, is 0.4¢ outbound, but I don't possess the technical expertise to make Anveo Direct work with an ATA. Wholesalers like Alcazar and (Localphone big brother) Voxbeam don't want to mess with someone as low volume as me. Everything else seems to be in the 0.8-1.0 cent range: Anveo, voip.ms, Flowroute, Callwithus, etc. (DIDlogic is 0.69¢).
Local phone is fine, but they don't seem to have anything like subaccounts so I think I'll have to set up separate accounts to get the needed different CIDs.
Any other suggestions for half-cent and below outbound for someone smalltime who has a chatty mom but nothing resembling a call-center?

Security of VOIP calls.
Hi, everyone.
(I've read some of the previous threads about this and they are several years old so I'm starting a new one.)
I use Future 9 (8 year customer, btw) as my VOIP provider for my home line.
If I'm talking to my bank, should I use my cell phone to get a more secure phone call than VOIP?
I'm thinking that there's a lot of people using VOIP phone services today but you don't hear much about if they are secure or not.
What does everyone think?

[Equipment] Bizarre time switch on Gigaset A580-IP phone
I looked at my phone handset and it said "7:17 AM".
And all the other Gigaset handsets said so too.
Bizarre, methinks, it's way later than that!
In fact, it was actually 9:10 AM (EDT).
-----
Power-cycling the Gigaset A580-IP base fixed the problem, but this sure was strange!

[Anveo] Call Flow to Selectively Enable or Disable CNAM Dips
Can this be done ?
Most likely I'm looking to set criteria by area code.
It would function like a supplementary blacklist against wasting money on identifying calls from places from which I never get legitimate calls, as I am getting a lot of those this summer.
Recently, I have disabled CNAM dipping for the first time since enabling it nearly 4 years ago, but would prefer a better way to manage the setting.
Any thoughts ?
If not currently possible, then please consider this as a shoutout to Anveo for addition of a feature to make it so.
Thanks. :)

[Anveo] Call flow Transfer variable quick question
If I have a call flow "Transfer" with multiple ring destinations -- say my main Anveo ATA, and 2 SIP addresses that ring on soft phones, all for the same 15 seconds -- and "N/A" set to flow into a Press Button variable, and one of those SIP destinations is "off" or not registering, I assume the other two would ring for 15 seconds before going to the Press Button announcement, right? I'm occasionally experiencing no ringing anywhere and the call going directly to the "Press Button" and wonder if it's because one of the destinations isn't registering. At one point I had a cell phone in the ring destination mix too and realized when the cell phone was off or out of range the cell phone VM would catch the call before it got to the Press Button IVR. But with the mobile removed from the ring destinations, I'm stumped on why some calls don't ring at all.
Any ideas?
Happy Labor Day weekend

Cheapest DIDs?
Just wondering what the cheapest DIDs I can get on the market are. I usually like to collect large quantities of numbers so they are of personal interest to me. For example, DIDLogic offers 02 numbers for 25 cents a month in the UK and Anveo offers Canada numbers for 0.50 a month.

[Anveo] procedure to set up voice mail
Hi. I'm a new Anveo user with a Personal Unlimited plan running on a zoiper softphone on my Samsung Note cellphone. I want to set up the voice mail for my new number and after poking around different web resources, I have come to the conclusion that I need a procedure with steps to get me going on this. I also did a search on this site but did not see anything pop up. (I confess I only scanned the filtered post titles and did not go through every post.) Does anyone know if there is a previous post with this info or if a step-by-step procedure exists to set up the voice mail? I also run a zoiper app on my laptop and need to set it up here too. Thanks in advance for any info or wayfinding.

[Anveo] [SOLVED]Can someone help with Anveo Direct setup on a CaC pbx?
When I dial either of my 2 Anveo Direct DID inbound routes (PIAF pbx), I get a buzy signal and Bell Canada asking me if I want to be notified when the number becomes available.
My voip.ms inbound routes are working fine.
Thanks,

Low cost international VOIP calling
After using anveo direct for more than two years, I have come to the conclusion that its not worth the hassle. Far too many numbers going to straight to answer phone or not ringing etc even on premium routes. This is in no way a complaint on their business model but it has become too difficult to get the right provider for the right route. Am curious whether anyone has a idea for a alternative with at least close to anveo's pricing.
From what I have seen CallWithUs seems pretty close, does anyone have experience with lots of routes using CWU and do they not have the problems described above? Alternatively can you recommend someone else?

[VOIPo.COM] Data leak...
I am a former voipo.com customer, but just received scam e-mail (to reset Apple ID) to a unique e-mail I used only (and only!!!) to register with voipo.com. Someone already reported scam site they were using for scamming through e-mail (http://www.hedleyhomes.com.au/images/homes/) and they are already blocked (by at least FireFox). It seems voipo.com either sold former customers e-mails or had a data leak. If the later is the case, I wonder what information were leaked. If the former is the case voipo.com should explain them self.

CircleNet is backing away from retail VOIP.
Good Morning DSL reports,
I wanted to bring some news about CircleNet LLC. Weve noticed over the last year an increasing number of local agencies starting to apply taxes/fees to VOIP services. Weve been trying to work with each as they do this to make sure that we stay compliant but the varied nature and complexity of this is really mind boggling. This process has been very difficult for us because of the prepaid nature of our service.
We came to a realization about 2 weeks ago that we were spending much more time and money completing paperwork to stay compliant than we were actually working with technology. We dont see this trend of increased regulation at the local level or federal changing anytime soon.
This combined with some personal issues has led us to make a decision.
We will not be taking new customers for the VOIP business also we will take no further payments after 12/24/2016. Well continue operating the infrastructure until 12/30/2017 if there are customers still using it.
This only affects retail customers we will continue to provide wholesale VOIP services as is to companies with FCC499s in place, virtual servers, ISP services in our area and other tech services. In the future and Ill keep lurking here and please feel free to PM me with questions.
A notice similar to this will go up on our website soon.
Guys, thank you for what was a pretty cool time.
Sam
