| unofficial first message ?
unofficial first message in the unofficial CallCentric forum? I thought there would be a bunch of them here by now.
I have a no cost access with them but no deposits yet so no calling any PSTN numbers. If you want to test CallC with me, PM me with your number and time zone. I am eastern. (-5 nov to Mar)
I, too found the email assistance very good with CallCentric. They don't officially support asterisk but helped me still. Then when it was all said and done, it was my extensions.conf file that had the error causing the problems. |

| Hey great a callcentric forum at last!
I am a free user at the moment too. I use X-Lite softphone, but I am hoping to unlock my old Vonage device to use it with Callcentric.
I haven't made any deposits yet to call PSTN either, & other than the test call, which sounded ok, I don't know how reliable they are.
I did a tracert to callcentric.com from here in Canada & after about 10 hops it times out. I don't know if that will make a difference when making calls, though.
It was the price that attracted me, because I don't do many outgoing calls & have little incoming, so a pay-as-you-go provider seemed the best bet. Based on my recent call history I could theoretically pay as little as $8 Canadian a month for service; I currently pay $22 for Vonage.
Their e-mail support is very fast & they seem genuinely eager to help.
I will probably pony up the cash soon to give them a try, because it could save me a bunch of cash. |

I went ahead and got one of the dirt cheap numbers and put $5 bucks on my account with callcentric just to test it out. I unlocked my old Vonage device and set it up according to the support section on the callcentric site. I have a Linksys RTP300 and I found alot of good info in the Vonage forum here on DSLReports for this ATA. So far I am very impressed with the service. The sound quality is as good as Voip gets. The nice this about having full control over the ATA, is that you can make adjustments yourself. For example, I had to change the codec it was using because i was trying to send faxes with it. It was nice not having to call anyone to do it. |

Callcentric ?
I just tried out Callcentric yesterday. I'm leaving VoiceStick behind.
I set up the X-Lite softphone as well as outside dialing. I'm using a computer table top mic. On the receiving end there is a good bit of echo. The X-Lite Help Forum had many posts regarding this. A USB headset is supposed to cure this.
Question ???
Does setting up my ATA and using a real telephone cure the echo ? Need to know. I'd like to port my number to Callcentric.
The Callcentric user interface / Dashboard is excellent. For me It'll be worth the $5-$6 / month base rate for all the info and features. I'm also getting excellent support via e mail in minutes to an hour. |

| Love the Customer Service!! I don't about that echo issue you were referring to....I have never had it. Apart from a slow or choppy connection, it might be something to do with the codec that is used. On the website they advise you use a specific codec (which most ATAs have support for):

Re: unofficial first message ?
Trust me...it's worth it. Crystal clear calls to everywhere I have called. I called the Caribbean many times. Keep in mind though that the call quality goes both ways...so if you ever experience something, it could be the person you're calling |
