No more DTMF tones...

[Russell]

BTW, I *almost* never hear tones.

You guys consider having your ears checked? :-) :-)

ptrowski,

Have you tried setting the DTMF method to Auto after you installed DD-WRT? If you haven't tried, its probably worth a try.

The only times I hear tones are from Magicjack phones. Even with Magicjack, its not all the time. And people who call me from Magicjack phones have high latency because of the geographical presence.

We would we do that? We hear them just fine. Seems you need your hearing checked.

No I have not. I can give it try.

The PAP2T DTMF from Voipo is provisioned for 'auto' and 'strict'

As I said, I have yet to hear the first tone ever, with any adapter or provider..

That's great Burris, you have mentioned it many times. Neither have I though until the PAP2 specifically on Voipo, but not with the 502 on Voipo.

I have yet to find a provider that I don't hear them. 5 years and 4 providers and only my wife does this.

I guess the solution is to get a new wife.

I can see the divorce papers stated reason for divorce "She DTMFs me"

ptrowski,

I bought a Linksys SPA2102 to solve my DTMF talk-off issue (as well as the known NAT problems with newer Linksys routers). It has a DTMF "strict hold off time" setting which the PAP2 did not have in the earlier firmware. I don't know if the latest 5.1.6 firmware has this "strict hold off" setting, but if it does maybe you can ask tech support to try the settings below.

The "Inband+INFO" was needed instead of "Inband" only to maintain compatibility to Voipo VM system. I had to move the Strict Hold Off Time from the default value of 40 to a value greater than 90 to eliminate the DTMF talk-off.

Hope this helps.

DTMF Tx Method: InBand+INFO
DTMF Tx Mode: Strict
DTMF Tx Strict Hold Off Time: 100

[ptrowski]

Yeah that's the main reason we don't use inband by default when someone asks about DTMF. So far we've still only had 4 complaints about it that I know of.

Sorry, you should have been told about VM upfront with it when you requested move to inband. The voicemail system isn't currently compatible with it.

You'll be able to check it using the remote access number 832-838-7000 but it requires AVT/RFC8322 for checking it from the VOIPo line.

Sorry to drag up my old thread, but I tried called the access line for checking voicemail and it doesn't recognize the DTMF tones either.

If I am set to inband for DTMF method is there zero way to check my voicemail from my Voipo line?

Not from the VOIPo line directly. You could use the access number remotely or hit * when your voicemail greeting comes on.

We're working on pushing out some voicemail changes in general soon and when that's done it will support inband. It's just that the current implementation doesn't.

We may be able to add another option like 124 that proxies the call through another system and converts the DTMF so it's compatible with the voicemail system. I'm not 100% sure on it, but can check into it this week.
