RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and Vonage -- no make that VoicePulse Connect :)
VoicePulse--- If I get 2 simultaneous calls? For one local number from voicepulse, is it possible to get simultaneous incoming calls?

If I get 2 simultaneous calls on my inbound will one ring busy or will asterisk handle this for me? I would like to be able to receive multiple simultaneous calls if possible for an application I am developing. Also, I assume to go through my router (NAT) I just need to open up the one port, 5036, right? Whopee! I can give Vonage it's device and high prices back soon :) Too bad they couldn't play nice and allow other devices on their service. I used Vonage for a year, up until last month in fact. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to avoind using their ATA/MTA if you use their service. You won't be able to connect directly to their servers with your * box. SI switched to VoicePulse Connect. I actually prefer their 2.9 cent/minute rates as opposed to a flat $35/month. I rarely use 1000 minutes/month so I'm saving money over Vonage. There was a down side in that VP doesn't offer DIDs in my area. Therefore I still have 2 POTS lines for incomming calls, but that was likely going to stay that way anyhow, as abackup to when the ISP or ITSP have problems. Also, in order to pass SIP through your router you're going to have open up potentially a lot of ports. I prefer to connect to VPC using IAX2, which requires that I open only one port.

I would like to be able to receive multiple simultaneous calls if possible for an application I am developing. I think this is possible, but since I don't have a DID from them I can't say for sure. I can say that I can make up to 6 calls at the same time with one account. They love that since it eats up minutes. I usew to to conference in co-workers. Also, I assume to go through my router (NAT) I just need to open up the one port, 5036, right? Not 5036, that's for SIP. Use 4569 for IAX2. Whopee!

If you've had the service for a while they leave you with the ATA. One day I'll unlock mine and puit it to use.
