busy signal calling out - pap2

Post by OntarioCanada »

Got the pap2 working without using MJMD5
anyone calling there is no problem...

but when trying to call out there is a busy signal every time
i'm using this dial plain found on this site:

([1235-9]11!|411S0|<:1311>[2-9]xxxxxxS0|1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS0| 1441!|1473!|1649!|1758!|1767!|1784!|1876!|1[26][68]4!|1[28]68!| 124[26]!|134[05]!|167[01]!|18[06]9!|011!)

is there any other reason besides the dial plan why I would be getting a busy signal every time i call a number?

That's the dial plan I am using also. You have to dial 1 and then your number.

example: 1-***-***-****

I would like to get rid of the use of 1 before my local calls but still learning how to do it.

You are the semi-fortunate one that do not need MJMD5 to get your ATA to register but you will only receive calls only.

You will still need MJMD5 to allow the use of your ATA to authorise outbound calls. There is a technical reason for this but it has been answered on other posts in this forum. In short setup a mjproxy on a computer that is on 24/7 and the issue will resolve itself...
That's my quarter's worth, but not enough to call someone who really cares at a pay telephone booth...

Funny, I'm using an ATA and I can both make and receive calls using my SIP settings just fine. The call quality is not very good because the MJ servers kinda suck for me, but it does work.

As for a busy signal, the dialplan is not right. I have no idea why it's so complex and you have spaces that screw it up.

Try this:

(*xx|[469]11|[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|011x.!)

That allows calling features like *67, callling 311/411/611/911, 10-digit dialing without 1, 11-digit dialing for 800 type numbers, and blocking international calls. Note that I don't have to dial a 1 first for any calls in Canada or the US, just the area code and number.

If you want 7-digit local dialing, an area code prefix can be added, but since you can program numbers into most phones, how often do you need to dial a new number that's in your area code?

But if you want it, this will do:

<:416>[2-9]xxxxxxS0 - where 416 is replaced with your local area code so the dialplan will look like this:

(*xx|[3469]11|[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|<:416>[2-9]xxxxxxS0|011x.!)

Make sure you put it near the end so it won't interfere with 10-digit dialing. And note that it won't be quite as fast to dial as 10-digit since it waits a few seconds to confirm you finished dialing numbers.
