    Monitoring Quality and Stability
    This is all Australian based routes on tier 1 carrier networks. If you have any quality issues please let me know.

    It's my expectation that this service should be as good as any other voip provider in the market and better than most.

    If it's not please do let me know so we can work on the problem.

    ["For example, a Telstra IP address pool it allocates from is 101.160.0.0/11 which is some 2 million addresses in the range 101.160.0.0 � 101.191.255.255. Allowing registrations only from that pool for an extension will be fine if you are dynamically allocated one of these addresses.

    I've looked at some of the extensions that are dynamically allocated IPs and I think it will be reasonably effective to limit access to ranges or lists of ranges.
    "]

    Unfortunately, that is not the only allocation Telstra use.

    My Boost mobile which is on the Telstra network currently gets an IP of 1.136.n.n or 1.152.n.n and
    My Bigpond cable currently has an IP of 121.210.n.n

    How would one go about finding the definitive range just for Telstra?

    It still doesn't solve the problem when travelling.

    I was just looking at your service as an backup contingency for an ageing asterisk PBX box, and the origanal supplier has closed, just created a login and having a look at the features to see how closely it meets our needs. I may just toss the old box and jump on board with you.

    I assume I shall have no issues with connection our SNOM 300 handsets. But your Wiki does say Music on Hold is not available, is that still correct? Thats a little important for us, because we did pay a lot of money for our 'jingle'

    The SNOM handsets should be fine is they are SIP capable.

    Brilliant John, that is handy to know.

    One more complicated question, and its harder to understand the control panel without real working accounts, is that I have SIP providers all over the place. I dont really need them all but I do have some New Zealand DIDS which you dont do, because I have an office in NZ, and need to retain those, and handle them somewhat seperately in the routing.

    Can a SIP account for another provider be hosted in your PBX?

    If not i guess I can forward them to a dedicated Telecube DID, and set up the routing accordingly?

  • Rob Thomas (xrobau)

    I thought I better support some other Australian VoIP provider than my regular, so I signed up with you guys.

    You might want to poke your webdev though, the signup page is using col-md- instead of col-sm to switch to mobile view. This means that I see stuff like this:

    http://i.imgur.com/wXrrgs8.png

    We've been doing a LOT of work with mobile-friendly stuff in FreePBX 13, so this just jumped out at me 8-)

    Do you guys have a pay-as-you-go account?

    Edit: Duh. They're all pay-as-you-go. Ignore me.

    Actually we do, just don't advertise it. If you want to email support we can let you know pricing.

    Can a SIP account for another provider be hosted in your PBX?

    Hmm .. if you mean register to an extension on another provider .. no. If you mean DIDs on another provider ringing in to your Telecube extensions .. possibly.

    I'm not against adding the functionality but would need to understand how it would need to be setup to be useful.

    Forgive my naiveness. What I know about asterisk is limited to the proprietry interface my supplier built for his small business, and I am pretty adept at configuring that, but I assume its all standard features � seems similar to yours for the most part. Except for the section called "Lines"

    What I have now 3 Pots lines (digium card obviously cant be used with your solution), and 4 SIP accounts across a couple of providers, and these are configured each as an indivudual Line. Each line has its incoming routing individually configured, though some are common. I have three IVRS, and a couple of Ring Groups that the lines get routed too, depending on Day/night/Line

    One example of what I need to customise, is we want our native NZ speakers to answer the NZ calls when our NZ outpost is unnattended which is often (apparently they take 4 hours off for lunch/nap). So these calls overflow into our Pabx, get routed differently to our normal calls, and we flash ALERT KIWI on the handset.

    Does all this make sense?

    Ok, incoming calls can be customised to your needs without having to connect with your existing voip provider. You can either port the numbers in to us or forward them to our network through your current provider.

    Assuming you would have a specific IVR setup on our network for the NZ calls you could have the calls routed into separate extensions on the handsets and label the extensions so the operator would know where the call was coming from.

    I presume the IP alert is based on Contact information rather than from received = .
    I have a dynamic IP but use local IP in the Contact and apart from the initial batch of alerts and the fact my public IP has changed several times no further alerts. My alert notification is on.
    I don't want to change this but was surprised others are getting heaps of alerts.

  • John.M

    Info

    I've added IP based ACL to the platform. You can control it from the manage screen of a voip extension.

    It will take multiple IP addresses or ranges in the format:

    192.168.0.123
    192.168.0.0/24
    192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

    You can add multiple addresses/ranges in the text area one per line.

    To turn it on add an ip and update .. to turn it off delete the ip and update an empty text box.

    It can take a minute or 2 to propagate changes to the registration servers.

    I think it demonstrates that blocking on IP will end up blocking genuine dynamic ips or be so coarse as to be useless. Only accepting traffic from your vsp on that trunk and preventing sip uri calls seems best to me plus not allowing auto top-up.

  • 2015-Sep-18, 11:35 am
    John.M

    You don't need to allow every IP an ISP has, you'll find most major ISP with lots of IPs will be allocating ranges by location.

    Looking at extensions regularly used on the road with Telstra we are seeing they are allocated IPs from 2 or 3 ranges.

    I am building an alert now that will email you when an IP is blocked due to an ACL and it will also lookup the ISP IP range, convert it to a CIDR address for you and include it in the email alert so you can have a quick look at the carrier, confirm it's yours and add it to your ACL rule.

    We have a couple of weeks of logging IP addresses and even extensions registering from overseas with dynamic IPs are boiling down to 1 or 2 CIDR ranges.

    I'll be adding a tool to the ACL manage screen shortly that will scan the IP addresses that an extension has connected from, run a whois and get the ranges, convert them to CIDR format that you can just copy/paste into the ACL list text field.

  • John.M

    MrWhite writes...

    Thanks John, have you also listed the ISP's ranges?

    I'm going to add a tool there that you can just add a single IP address into and it will run a whois, get the range and display it for you as well as present the CIDR format that can be added to the list.

    Love the converter, good idea :)

    It's there. Your IP address falls under their /18 � 202.161.64.0/18

    BGP.he.net generally is not 'out of date' because it's listing every IP TPG are announcing under their AS. If they add more addresses, HE usually picks them up within a few days.

    Hi John,

    I signed up a few weeks ago and put through a request to port some DIDs over from another provider about 10 days ago. Just curious as to how long it usually takes?

    Not sure if I did it properly though.. do i need a working voip service with you guys before porting or does porting automatically create the voip services.

    I've recently ported my DID from MyNetFone to Telecube so I can finally close down my MNF account but have noticed that all incoming calls are all showing their caller ID in international format, i.e. +614xxyyyzzz. This wasn't the case on MNF and would prefer it to show as 04xxyyyzzz.

    I'm a little confused about pricing for untimed whirlpool plan
    Are local/mobile numbers charged in local currency

    Unfortunately, the crappy exchange rate affects us all. Once calls complete you will see the actual AUD charge in the call records in the portal as well as the USD rate and the exchange rate used to calculate the call into AUD.

    It's the neatest way for us to process the calls, if we need to play the FX game then we'll need to add margins on top which will bump the prices up.

    Feature request: The ability to use an IVR as a "voicemail" in ring groups instead of being limited to actual VMs.

    Not sure if there's a technical reason why this can't happen but it would be handy as we use an IVR after hours (to select two different options) and a standard VM during business hours to catch missed calls.

    +2. I have this arrangement in my stand alone asterisk now and would hope to have it once/if I convert to Telecube.

    After hours routing:
    1 � ring all extensions (in case of night owls or weekend warriors wandering about)
    2 � then After Hours IVR offering choices depending on purpose of call.

    All the after hours IVR choices go to a voicemailbox directly, the relevant dept will handle accordingly.

    How does one delete a DID?

    I've used two of the included numbers to serve two phones connected to the Gigaset C610.

    My question: can I use two other numbers from the series but route the calls through a Gigaset A400? (That system is connected directly to the Phone 1 port on my Fritz!Box 7390, whereas the 610 is not directly connected to a phone line...)

    Can I vote for the full IVR? Mainly for the selfish reason that I've already set everything up how I want, and the only missing link is the ability to automatically redirect to the IVR after hours.

    I have it set up to do both at the moment... Here's the flow:

    When someone rings during normal hours, it rings our office phones. If no-one answers after 15 seconds, it goes to a 'we're on other calls, leave a message' "work hours" vm.

    When someone rings after hours, the IVR picks up and gives the spiel about being closed, but offers two options: 1 to contact the on-call tech, 9 to leave a voicemail.

    When you press '1' it rings the "pager" mobile (Android phone connected to Telecube using CSipSimple) for 5 seconds to ring and trigger a recurring alert on the phone, and then overflows to an "on call" VM. That voicemail is then emailed to the "pager" mobile phone.

    When you press '9', it forwards to a 'thanks for calling, we'll ring back between 9 and 5' "after hours" VM.

    Have I made it complicated enough yet? :D Everything works perfectly so long as I manually change from queue to IVR after hours. If there was a way to make that automatic everything would be completely as I wanted.

    We're already with Telecube and everything works just fine. The pricing is too good to bother rolling our own. I'm sure the functionality we need will be added eventually, or a method to do what we want with existing functionality is found. One of the support guys said he'd create a dummy 1300 number to do it but I think he's forgotten heh

    Sounds fine to me. I have several arrays of complexities like that in mine, and I have totally forgotton how they all work. Every year on the local public holidays the boss asks me what we are doing about the phones. My answer is that I dont remember but the Manual says if we press that 'button' there, it all works marvelously.

    I have a SNOM 300 which has had an issue ever since the update of the SIP server back in August. I opened a ticket and have had many chats with support but no resolution.

    I have to use the old server IP to dial out and the new server IP on another extension to receive calls has anyone else had an issue or is it just me. I have done factory resets on both phone and router.

    Oh, right! I have no idea what I'm doing with VOIP so I'll just roll with Telecubes setup for the minute. I now have a dummy 1300 number doing what I want, so looks like it's all working a treat. Although it does lead me to the next request...

    Feature request: Choosing whether to observe DST or not. Looks like it follows Melbourne time at the moment, which means us Queenslanders who don't fiddle with our clocks twice a year have to remember to change the time based routing manually.

    What is the issue? Can call in on new sip server but can't call out and visa versa on old sip.server

    Are you talking about TC extensions? � Yes

    Is SIP ALG disabled? � Yes but I changed it and made no difference.

    today I did factory reset on phone, router and replaced ethernet cable � now I can't call out on any extension.

    So I installed a clean never used D-Link 2740-B and same result.

    Reinstalled 7800N and placed Snom in DMZ ...no change. As soon as I hit the dial button I get error message:

    Well after 6 weeks I was reading through http://stackoverflow.com/ and found "Turning RTP encryption off" and that appears to have fixed it.

    Is there anyone using a Telecube DID (well in my example it was ported from MNF) with a FritzBox 7490 inbuilt answering machine? Since the number has ported over, the call seems to divert to the answering machine but doesn't play the greeting, there is just a beep.

    If I call my home phone number which is connected to the same answering machine it plays the greeting and works fine. The answering machine used to work just fine with the same DID when it was with MNF so I am a little confused...

    The fritz box refers to a VoIP account by it's 'number', which is not taken from any SIP data � but is the number that you enter into that field when you setup the VoIP account in the fritz interface. Basically when you assign an answering machine to a 'number', you're just attaching it to a specific account ID.


    @Nitro � this seems more like a Fritz!Box issue than a Telecube issue; so you may get more luck finding a solution in one of the various existing Fritz threads, or starting a new one in the VoIP forum.

    Take the DID 0212345678

    I'm sure with Maxo if you are looking at the Asterisk CLI you will see FROM_DID 0212345678 when a call comes in.

    Using that same DID with TC, the CLI would show FROM_DID 10XXXXXXX where 10XXXXXXX is the extension the call is coming in on.

    No � you can type whatever you want into that field when you're setting up the account � it's just an internal account identifier.

    The field where you enter the extension number is the "Username" field.

    Ninja Travis writes...

    A standard incoming sip invite contains a TO field which identifies your sip account. Whether is called an extension number or a authUserID or whatever it doesnt matter .
    It also contains a FROM field which identifies the Caller and is information extracted when the caller initiates a call.
    You may be able to use your DID number to identify your account but this is not usual as the DID may be linked to one or more accounts.
    The actual DID number does not appear in a TC invite anywhere.
    In an mnf account it is often added as a Diversion= DID but cant be used for call outing.

    That's all lovely � but Nitro is using a Fritz!Box, so I clarified what that particular field actually means in a Fritz!Box � it has absolutely nothing to do with the SIP standard. It has nothing to do with authenticating with the server.

    The "Telephone Number" is a label. A label that you can type whatever number you like in there. When assigning a VoIP account to a handset, or to an answering machine, or anything else, you select the "telephone Number" for that service. When initiating a call you can have the "telephone Number" set as the FROM field, or you can choose numerous other options to populate the FROM field.

    That is important because there is no std for field identificaion and each device makes up their own name for each box.

    That is where I must disagree. Each sip UA has been scripted on the basis of the sip standard and not the GUI so if it doesnt find the info it needs in the correct place in an Invite the call will fail.

    I only posted when Nitro said

    Nope, no diversions in use, there are some pesky numbers that I've added to a rule that sends them straight to the answering machine but that's on the PSTN line only.

    I'm assuming that with a call duration =< 1min that they're showing in the log as incoming calls, and not missed calls?

    They definitely show as incoming not missed, it's like the call goes to the answering machine, something gets broken in the negotiation then drops but will try setting up a new extension and add that into the TC ring group and see how that goes.

    Worst case, I might pester you via PM if that's ok to see what your settings look like to make sure there is nothing obvious missing.

    We just have a Telecube account, and a few Yealink handsets. They're on their own ADSL connection (modem/router -> switch -> handsets) and the sum total of configuration was to login to the Yealink UI and change the login details and a few configuration options for BLF and the like.

    None of the calls show up in our Telecube account thingo and it's only 1 of like 8 extensions we have that dials.

    Just wanted to post about a positive experience...

    I had a very strange fault that started last week, with a DID number being mysteriously re-routed to the wrong destination. Murray from Telecube thought he had the problem nailed on Friday night but it returned at odd times over the weekend.

    Murray was back on it first thing this morning and called me to report that it is now fixed permanently.

    I know some people have their doubts about working with small providers like Telecube. However, if this had been a major player, imagine how long one would wait and how many times one would speak to a call centre operator before anyone would even look at such an obscure problem.

    This is not the first time that Murray has done more than expected in resolving an issue. Owner John and the Telecube customer base are surely the winners.

    Also wanted to add praises for telecube.

    I was with another prominent VoIP provider and my account was being used by a third party to make international calls. The provider took no responsibility so I looked through the VoIP forum and stumbled on this thread.

    I signed up immediately and ported my numbers over. After a week or so � tried it for the first time and was impressed as to how good it sounded. Even family have pointed out how much better it sounds.

    So thanks for a great service and the great customer support!
