SIP Service

 

This is the home of the well-known free iptel.org IP Telephony service. Many people use our services for software/hardware interoperability testing or just as a way to call other people. The service allows incoming and outgoing calls from/to any other IP Telephony services (note: some commercial services stop calls to other Internet-based services).

The service is based on SIP Express Router, SERWeb and SEMS.

It also uses third-party equipment, currently iptego's Security and Monitoring Application

Call forwarding and Voicemail settings

By default, voicemail2email is enabled for offline users and not answered calls. 

In the "forward" tab of the account page in SerWeb, there are several options that control call forwarding settings. Here a SIP URI as destination for on-busy, on no answer and unconditional forwarding can be set. Alternatively you can set the type of call forwarding to auto-attendant to use:

  • voicemail2email sends the voicemail as email
  • voicebox saves the message to your voicebox
  • both sends an email and saves the message to your voicebox
  • non disables call forwarding

To dial into the voicebox for checking your messages dial 1000  (sip:1000@iptel.org).

Conference calls 

The iptel.org webconference (non-secure link: http://webconference.iptel.org) allows you to create and control conference rooms through a web page.

This conference server is also accessible for dial-in at sip:conference@iptel.org . Using the prefix 000777 leads you directly into the conference room, e.g. calling sip:000777123@iptel.org goes directly into the conference room 123.

A special feature of this conference service is that you can connect people not only in the iptel.org SIP service network, but also in other networks,
you just need to provide an outgoing line for it. For example, if you enter your account of your favourite VoIP provider that offers cheap PSTN termination, you can do cheap PSTN or mixed PSTN and VoIP conferences.

Calling into PSTN - identity change

With the iptel.org service only pure VoIP calls can be made; iptel.org does not sell minutes into PSTN. To call a normal phone number from iptel.org, you can enter a provider account in SerWeb page as custom PSTN gateway (custom PSTN gateway user, custom PSTN gateway domain, custom PSTN gateway password), and iptel.org will send all calls to numbers starting with '+' and '00' there and authenticate the call with your credentials.

This should work with any provider that uses normal SIP authentication. It has been tested with: nonoh.net (use sip.nonoh.net as domain), sipgate, carpo.de (use sip.carpo.de as domain). It does not work with providers that require registration to place calls.

Subject: Need help on Implementing

Need help on Implementing SMS delivery to an smpp gateway using  SERi. We have a gateway account that connects using an IP and a Port address to connect to it. Will appreciate any to help connect to the Gateway. The writeups we have seen had only talk about using GSMi Modem, using com ports etc. Thought with SER being a native IP protocol based, SER should be able to use IP to connect to the gateway........

Hi, I'm trying to configure the PSTNi gateway using a nonoh.net account, but when I'm placing calls from my SIP client I get this error: "Other side said: Service Unavailable". I've tried with + and 00 prefix too.
Subject: nonoh.net does not like that service

apparently nonoh.net does not like to have customers, it seems they have blocked the IP address of our (primary) media server.
