voip.co.uk Not Working Thursday morning?

Al Paca

On both my lines.

Dials OK but UK numbers unobtainable. People calling me get
unobtainable.

Anyone else?

Well, I've just dialled my BT line from my voip.co.uk line, and vice versa,
and both ring out ok.

Yes.

Your scenario fits for earlier this morning , but it was back on OK
later. Don't know the timings except that it wasn't working when I went
out at 9:00am but was OK at 10:30

It is working now. Only remaining problem is that voicemail via 121
gives an unobtainable tone after entering mailbox number followed by
hash.

Thanks David. So did I and received a further response this morning
confirming all is now well - which it is.

Thanks for this. Quite Intersting, and food for thought...

Also intersting, as Sipgate and myself share a common wholesaler, and
knowing the rates I get from them, I find this curious (but they could
be on a better rate than me!) Telephone billing systems are a black art
unto themselves. I'm sure universities will be offering PhD's in it
soon... (I bill by the second, but rounded up to the next 1p)

Pah, I see your 68 days and raise it with:

11:35:06 up 926 days, 21:37, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

I have one customer with 3 ADSL lines. One for general office data, one
for incoming calls, and a 3rd for outgoing calls.... Still cheaper for
them than ISDN30 apparently, and of-course, I get call revenue from
their outgoing calls ;-)

I think that one of the reasons why Sipgate bill per minute is that they
give the numbers away for free. I don't know of any other VoIP supplier
who does that and for me it's worth it in the savings on monthly rentals.

In fact, if you only call 0800 and Sipgate numbers, there's no obligation
to put any credit on your account at all, I have a friend who's had a
Sipgate number for 3 years and it's never cost him a penny. He only uses
it for 0800 and to call me and a handful of other friends on the system.

(Cue Ron with his rantings..!)
