United States:* +1-800-... +1-888-... +1-877-... +1-866-... via: Telesthetic/Local Exchange Carriers of Michigan
JOhn, Good idea on leaving the code in. I'll do that. Since IAXtel has 8xx dialing into the USA would it be possible to have that one in freenum.org as the returned gateway fro the USA toll free? That way, IAX will get some testing too. Just a thought. Robert
Two comments on that:
1) I think the same people that provide the actual gateways to IAXTel are the ones that offered their services for freenum.org (Telesthetic/Local Exchange Carriers of Michigan)
2) The +1-8xx numbers offered in freenum.org are now available via IAX2, thanks to the kind efforts of the gateway provider.
Here's the issue: Asterisk does not have the ability to request specific NAPTR replies. Since I have two different technologies (SIP and IAX2) in the list of records for (as an example) 1-800, there are two possible replies: a SIP NAPTR and an IAX2 NAPTR. Now, the good news is that the standard DNS resolver on most UNIX distributions will rotate the two answers, so every time your particular computer asks the question from your local resolver you should get a different response than the previous request, or at least you will receive answers in a quasi-random fashion. So, in the best possible world, every other call you make will be IAX2. You could write some really ugly looping routines in Asterisk to keep requesting NAPTRs from EnumLookup until an IAX2 reply was given... <shudder>.
SO: Asterisk needs to have some extensions written to the EnumLookup routines that allow the user optionally to specify the technology requested. Where was that guy on the IRC channel that was looking for Asterisk projects...
