    well...that didn't last long, it's back to how it was before now, no incoming audio! I didn't change any settings either! So now I'm playing again to see if I can get it back.

    Anyone else any luck?

    cheers,
    Richard.

    and now it's working again. Through monitoring the logs I can see that the failed audio is due to RTP mapping problems. I can't quite see exactly how it's failing though. I've just randomly turned settings off and then back on again (so they're identical to what they were before) and somehow it's kicked back into life.

    Mystery!

    I've been unable to make any 1899 VOIP calls in the last day. Anyone else having probs?

    I can still use Voipbusters, but getting dropped calls after a few minutes speech.

    1899 VoIP still working ok here. Takes ages for it to connect the call after dialling the number (about 15-20secs) but it's done that all the time since I started using it.

    I haven't been able to use 1899 VOIP for outgoing calls for 2 days now. I'm in London. I am set up on Firefly and Sipgate incoming works but 1899 out has just stopped. It doesn't work with their own softphone either. Looks like they have pulled the service - no reply from cust services either.

    Strange, it's still working here fine.

    All working fine here. Though they have clamped down a little on spoofed CLI, some of my numbers like 0555 555 5555 no longer work.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    01000000000 still works fine, just wish I could get it to accept an 0871 number!

    I checked itemised billing and found that my last permitted call was over a week ago, and I was still getting the "..caller hung up" message after 11 or 12 seconds. Legend has it that 1899 never reply to enquiries, so I have now stepped round the problem and opened a new 1899 account using a mobile number (no problems registering it) and changed the logon details in Firefly

    Result - calls go through first time. I had checked that 1899 calls via my landline connected OK, so the account is not frozen, but I had only made 9 pence-worth of chargebale calls since first registration. I wonder if they are kicking out unprofitable subscribers from the VOIP service?
