D-link dir-001 won't accept incoming voip testing calls

• Open the Web Configurator
• Open the menu "Settings" - "Telephony" - "Audio"
• Activate the option "No" next to "Allow 1 VoIP call only"

If you do not pay your bill, you will not get incoming calls or messages and you cannot call or send messages. Your phone will not work if you do ot pay for it.
According to the article, and other information I've been reading, there is more than one possible mode a GPRS/EDGE phone network can be configured to operate in, 001 and 002 being the most common. In mode 001 if an incoming call occurs during data use the data session will be terminated and the call will come through. In mode 002, the call will go straight to voicemail. Apparently the majority of 2G networks in the world use mode 002!

It's possible to use the iPhone's field test mode to see what Network Operating Mode is for the network - to do this, first disable 3G, then go into field test mode by dialing *3001#12345#* from the phone app keypad then pressing call, then go to GSM Cell Environment -> GPRS Information, and scroll down to "Network Operating Mode".

I've checked this for all 5 networks and in all cases (at least where I live) it was mode 002 - the mode which doesn't allow for incoming calls when 2G data is in use.

The ramifications of all this are that any time you use data on GPRS/EDGE you will miss incoming calls and unless you have a missed call service with your provider, you won't even know you missed them, as they will not show up on the phone. (And the missed call texts themselves will be delayed as well)

Not only can this be caused by actively using an app such as safari, (or leaving a data using app active with the screen locked) but background mail checks and push notifications will cause it as well. So if your phone is lying there unattended and it happens to do it's 30 minute (or whatever) mail check just before someone tries to call you - missed call.

Having push notifications enabled is even worse, because it tries to keep an active data session as much as possible, and re-establishes this connection every time the data connection is interrupted.

One good example of this is if you have push notifications active, try making or receiving a call, hang up, and call the phone back in less than 30 seconds or so of the previous call - missed call.

The reason is that the GPRS/EDGE connection was interrupted by the first call, so when the call ended the phone immediately tries to re-establish the push data connection, and on a slow connection this takes up to a minute to do and then go idle before the phone can receive another incoming call.

I'm stunned that a problem of this magnitude (which is not really the phones fault at all, but is made far worse by turning on push notifications and background email checking) has been seemingly covered up and glossed over for so long - the O2 UK forum has a message thread with over 500 people complaining of frequent missed calls, with no official acknowledgement from O2 on what the cause is, with the only suggestion being to turn off push notifications. (Which will ease the problem but won't cure it)

What baffles me is why the networks don't just run in mode 001, which allows incoming calls to interrupt the data session - surely an incoming call is more important than finishing downloading an email ? Surely with more and more phones relying on data and trying to hold persistent push connections open, this is only going to become more and more of an issue ?

Perhaps someone like Planner could comment on why networks might not be using mode 001, I'm assuming it either has some drawbacks or compatibility problems with some phones, or is an added cost to support. Is there any likelyhood of this ever changing ?

Now it makes sense why if you're using a network where you tend to get 3G most of the time (such as I do with Orange or 3) then the problem is minor because you're not on 2G very often, but if you're on a network where you will be using GPRS/EDGE a lot (cough, O2) then you really can't afford to leave push notifications enabled, unless you like missed calls...

Blocking incoming calls on your Sony Ericsson phone is pretty simple. You can go to your service provider's website and follow the instructions they have for call blocking. They will usually tell you how to block specific calls or all incoming calls. You will most likely find a way to even block incoming text messages. This is very convenient if you don't won't to be bothered, but you don't want to miss a possibly important call either. Luckily, with a Sony Ericsson, you don't even have to go to your service provider's Web site to block incoming calls. You can do it through your phone's menu.

1. • 1 Flip open your cell phone and go to the phone's menu.
     
   • 2 Select "Settings" and scroll down to "Calls."
     
   • 3 Select "Manage Calls" and then choose "Accept Calls."
     
   • 4 Choose to accept "All Calls," "Calls from a list" or "None." If you choose to accept calls from a list, you will have to create your list of accepted callers. This is easy. You will just scroll through your contacts and select numbers you want to accept.
     

Hi there,

This router does have Voice Over Internet Protocol capabilities.

Thank you for using FixYa! Have a great day and please remember to rate this solution.

Best regards,

You _are_ on the LAN -- via your "wireless" connection.

However, the "unsolicited" TCP/IP traffic caused by the "incoming" call is being blocked by the firewall software inside the D-Link router.

Follow the MajicJack instructions for "port-forwarding", so that all that unsolicited traffic gets "forwarding" to the IP-address that is assigned by the router to your computer.

Are you connected to a VOIP line for your fax?
A VOIP line can come from a company like Vonage or your local cable co.

If so:

Unfortunatly, faxing over VOIP (Internet) is not always successful. You might want to talk to your VOIP provider if they have a solution.

If not:

Are you trying with the same fax to send and recieve? Some traditional fax machines have probles connecting to fax modems, which is what you have in an Office Jet.
Try having someone else send you a fax and try sending to another number. Otherwise, you might have a defective fax modem.

You need to check the DHCP configuration on your router. Also try setting up a static IP on your VOIP phone & try.

What you need to do is long into your router's configuration. For the D-links, all you have to do is open internet explorer. Type in 192.168.0.1 on the address bar and press enter. Once you get into the log in page, type in your username and password (not the same one as your wireless password). If you don't know. Try admin for username and leave password blank. It should work if you have not change the default password. Once inside the configuration page. Go to Advance, click on QoS engine on the left. Input the IP address of the VoIP box in the "source ip" , type in a name for your rule and select 1 for priority and input your ports for your VoIP box. The best thing you want to do is put your VoIP box before your router. That way you get better quality.

buy a linksys wrg series router and smash that dlink peice of junk into tiny little pieces, put them into a bag and mail to dlink, with a letter describing your opinion of their products.
