Voicemail Down or being upgraded?

[Brian]

Can you switch me over (240-215-xxxx)? When my port completes and I setup VM for my ported number, will that automatically be on the new system?

[usa2k]

Already did -- you can close it though.

[Montano]

Only thing I found wrong today is that the timestamp is 7 hours ahead of me here in Cali.

Reboot your ATA now and you should have MWI.

Reboot your ATA now and you should have MWI.

OK test messages (one on each) left after rebooting both GS devices.

So far no MWI
352-399-xxxx gets stutter tone now (This is my recently added account.)
734-437-xxxx does not get any indication. (This is my oldest account.)

Correction MWI for the new Florida number.

My OLD account is less cooperative.

I get emails from both. One was our dentist and I had my wife check and she had issues pressing 7 for delete. Delete worked fine for me on the newer Florida number.

I could delete them fine as saved messages. I notice if you have no saved messages, but choose 2 to see if there are saved messages it parrots "You have zero new messages".

1. Yes the VM system is also ahead for me but naturally only 4 hours ahead.
2. No Message waiting indicator (Is it supposed to work with the GS?)
3. Call return worked once for me and now when I tried it again, it sent me into the "you have zero new messages tree".

A test message was 12:35 instead of 8:35 in the evening for the MI number.
Email had that time stamp too, but email message received was correct.


The FL number did not show any instant MWI . . . . . . . . . . . . . picking up the line, there is a stutter tone .... and now the MWI is active.

FL time off by same amount.

I also do not like the lack of previous message option,
and lack of replay message envelope option.

BTW, do most of you find you sing test VM recordings, or otherwise act in some idiot fashion?

Beta testing is fun! Its an art of reassuring the wife, and getting to help out

When I record "test messages" I try to read something so I don't stumble and it is my chance to sharpen my voice for my next job recording books on tape.

We're getting there. Hopefully we'll keep making progress and you guys will keep finding these things and we'll have the new VM system 100% by end of week.

The good thing about this system is that it's completely customizable in terms of adding things to it, changing menus around (think dial out), etc.

Asterisk you can in theory make those changes, but it is a HUGE hassle to do it. The biggest reason I wanted to move away from Asterisk is that it doesn't scale well, can be unstable with a lot of use, and I think there was always a certain choppiness to the recordings/prompts on it no matter what we did.

It's designed for a PBX in a small office...not to be used in large scale. I still wonder how we made it when we used it for ViaTalk....when we launched VT it was all 1 nice little Asterisk server...not just voicemail, but the whole thing. Of course VT has evolved since then with more servers and now their new stuff, but it does bring back some memories.
