View Full Version : In-Network SIP Shortcut

I would like to suggest a method of making SIP calls
without having to program the call as an outbound route.

Simply allow a prefix when making a call.

EXAMPLE

Calling '#5551238888' would dial 'sip:5551238888@in.voipwelcome.com'

It is just that simple.

It may be unnecessary with how VOIPo handles In-Network Calls,
but for calls not routing correctly, it would be a great support tool.

All on network calls are routed directly and are free. Can you give me more info as far as why you'd want to use this?

It does not look like I ever had a dedicated ticket for this.

If I call from my Reseller account to my VOIPo account within my own network, the call will go straight to Voicemail. The reverse direction does go through properly. If I make a SIP shortcut, it works perfectly. It would just be a fast check if a customer reported this same kind of scenario.

I suspect it may just be an easy work-around mostly for calls within the same local network that do not ring through.

OK that makes sense. I know exactly what you're talking about. This is a known bug with on-network calling and will be resolved soon.

Resolution would be great. My brother-in-law can't call my VOIPo line from the test Reseller Account I setup in Ohio. I showed him how to add a SIP shortcut, and that connected easily.
If a prefix could force that mode, its an easy check for Joe Average.

Reverse direction works
Call Reference ID: e4d9a638-5e912206@192.168.0.73

There are no Call Records of him calling my VOIPo number.
Sip seems to be a Call Record stealth mode.
