2 problems with Voicemail - 13 seconds to connect to it and touch tones don't work?

[burris]

I'm told that some/most consumer routers don't require port forwarding for VoIP; they have port triggering or some such logic.

Dial plan: Wouldn't VoIPo have identical dial plans for both kinds of ATAs? These are configured by VoIPo who I assume, doesn't use the manufacturers' default.

My Grandstream has a different dial plan scheme than the Linksys.

Maybe babaganoosh can pick it up from here...

This is my Linksys....

( *123S0 | 123S0 | 011[2-9]x.S5 | 1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS1 | [2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS1 | [2-9]xxxxxxS1 | [2-9]11S1 | *xxS1 | *xx1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS1 | *xx[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxxS1 | x. )

Grandstream....
{ *12 | *400 | [2-9]xxxxxxxxx | 1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx | 011[2-9]x. | [34789]11 | [x*]+ }

Babaganoosh...

If you read my dial strings and you actually have access to it in your ATA, insert the first two 123 as they appear in my Linksys plan..don't forget the | and spaces...stick them in at the beginning exactly as they are. This takes care of the VM wait time on the Grandstream.

I am using my SPA2102 now and since I don't use the system VM, I never noticed this. I just tried it in my Linksys with the Grandstream dial plan and all is well here.
