We want to hear from you this Friday, March 26th and for 24 hours straight on the Voipathon - for details:
»voipathon.org
This is the third anniversary of the VoIP Users Weekly Conference and we'll be talking non-stop for 24 hours. Wherever you are in the world, please join us in the discussion. It's about Internet community and has no commercial affiliation, no sponsor, no donations, just a joining together of like-minded people all over the world. We'd especially like to hear from the folks at DSL Reports!
You can connect using SIP, Skype, web widget, PSTN or osmosis/telepathy, take your pick, but be there!
It's a celebration.
Regards,
randulo zeeek |

----------------------------------------
By contrast, mind-melt is what happens if you spend too much time watching the TV show "Lost", or listening to Canadian PM Stephen Harper. |

| No, I think MELT is closer to what will actually happen if you join us.
Voipathon is the name, world domination is the game.

Randulo, thanks for the information.
Being that you have posted here, can you provide some clear and detailed steps as to how people can make connections to this conference? Other than using PSTN, that is!
Yes, I myself can figure it out, after carefully studying your website.
But MANY newcomers to Voip will be TOTALLY LOST.
---------------------------------------
Also, I don't know if you noticed the post from a few days ago, but your iNum number +883 5100 123 94882 cannot be reached using the major US Voip company CallCentric. It results in a fast busy signal.
Being that CallCentric is involved with iNum in a big way, I think that this is a problem on YOUR end.
If you could look into that it would be good.
Thank you. |

said by PX Eliezer:said by mazilo:Like a Vulcan mind- melt ceremony? I think it's Vulcan mind- meld. Actually, you are both right if you combine the spelling of meld and melt to make meldt!
And it fits right in with the OP's goal ... since in the German and Dutch languages, meldt is the 2nd and 3rd person singular of the verb melden which means to report, communicate; let know. |

However, if I used G711 CoDec, the call got connected with an IVR saying The conference codes you entered is not yet active, please call back later.

Definitely, but it will be wiser for me not to participate @3:00AM unless every participants want to hear me screaming !@#$%^&*() from me!

The info, including two videos, is here: »voipathon.org/free-software-to-talk/
I can try to sum it up:
Download a free program like X-Lite, Blink (Mac only), Zoiper, SJ Phone or Phonerlite - see the above page for links.
- OR - Run Skype and enter voipathon at the top and click call
- OR - go to the web widget pages on the site above or here: »www.voipusersconference.org/abou···-topics/
Because different phones work differently, there's no single SIP URI we can give. The best, requiring no further input is this:
7463#22622#1@proxy.ideasip.com
Try this: sip:11012010451@ideasip.com
Type or copy/paste that into X-Lite or Blink and it will call them. If your phone doesn't do that URI, you can call sip:voipathon@vuc.onsip.com or 123@ts.x2z.eu
If none of the above works, a geek will be necessary to help you.
I did not know the iNum +883 5100 123 94882 wasn't working. Last I tried it it was, however, it will only be useful during the VUC and it's possible there's a limit of lines.
We would very much like to hear from people if you have issues joining the VUC. Please use the contact form or write to voipusersconference address on gmail.

Ah, I did not read this completey in the other post, sorry. I believe only g711 and g722 are accepted. Possibly even only g711.

For those with G.722 capable phones I'm working on adding a small HDVoice conference bridge to Zeeek's VoIPathon effort later this week.
If I can pull it off there will be a limited number of seats on an HD bridge that I will connect to the narrowband Talkshoe bridge. It will only be available via SIP URI.
I'll post details once things are a little more firm.

said by randulo:I can try to sum it up:....... That was helpful, thank you. After all, it would be rather ironic to have to participate in a VoIP forum using a POTS connection!
said by randulo:If none of the above works, a geek will be necessary to help you. Is a nerd or a boffin an acceptable substitute, or must it be an actual geek? (Just kidding).
said by randulo:Ah, I did not read this completely in the other post, sorry. I believe only g711 and g722 are accepted. Possibly even only g711. I am indeed calling with a g711 codec, unless something is happening to my call further on down the path, yet cannot connect. If I call by using one of the iNum local access numbers, the call does work. Your group may want to look into this further.
Good luck with your conference. |

1 edit | Re: [General] Voip Users Voipathon Realizing that not all SIP clients can call URI with the # sign, this number should be reachable by any client:
sip:11012010451@ideasip.com
You should also be able to dial this number on a hardware phone such as Polycom. |

As for the iNum, I know it worked when I last tried it, but we do not control that and it won't work for the Voipathon anyway, as it goes to ZipDX.
I'm talking to a few people about getting a special one-click client for Friday.

However, if I used G711 CoDec, the call got connected with an IVR saying The conference codes you entered is not yet active, please call back later. Here is what ZipDX CEO David Frankel tells me:
"I'm happy to look further into these failure reports if people have the date and time of their call, and some information about how they are dialing (originating client or network, number sequence or URI dialed, and response)."
He said there were successful calls today, the last one being thru Gizmo.
If you want to post such info, don't forget the time zone, the exact SIP client or phone, the carrier and the city (if a local access number).

I am on EST timezone and I just placed the call within a minute through my Asterisk PBX system with one of my G5 account using a G711 CoDec.
