[Asterisk-Users] LiveVoip status report

[David Josephson]

There has been improvement in the quality of LiveVoip connections. Still 
some packet loss and resultant choppy audio, a little worse than with 
Vonage or Broadvoice. As noted in several posts over the past months, 
they still don't handle indication of ringing on an IAX channel if the 
caller has dialed a number in the Asterisk switch (for instance with the 
DISA app). The workaround previously suggested, to Answer() and then run 
Ringing() doesn't work in this case, because it still sends the IAX 
command for ringing which LiveVoip doesn't recognize. However, 
Playtones(ring) does work and represents a usable workaround for the 
price. They claim to be working on a new session controller that will 
fix this and other problems. We'll see.
