[Resolved] FPL no registration response using FreePBX
Posted: 01/04/2024
I have used freephoneline with asterisk quite successfully for many years, seems to work well and lets us have phones at both ends of the house and in the basement. Our telephone use is low so I can't justify paying a subscription fee to Fongo or Bell or whatever.
Our old machine with Asterisk 8 running on RHEL 6 has apparently gone past it's best-before date and is now not working. As a result I am trying to bring things back to life with FreePBX and Asterisk 16 using the old configuration data. It seems that freephoneline is not rejecting the registration but isn't responding to it either. Any ideas what the issue could be?
outgoing settings:
username=PHONE_NUMBER
type=peer
secret=PASSWORD
host=voip.freephoneline.ca
incoming settings:
type=user
secret=PASSWORD
context=from-trunk
registration string:
PHONE_NUMBER:PASSWORDk@voip.freephoneline.ca/PHONE_NUMBER
What I see in the log now is messages like this
[2024-01-04 22:53:55] NOTICE[6314] chan_sip.c: -- Registration for 'PHONE_NUMBER@voip.freephoneline.ca' timed out, trying again
In the above "PHONE_NUMBER" is the full 11-digit phone number and "PASSWORD" is the SIP password copied from my connection details on the freephoneline.ca site.
This is happening for both our number and my daughter's number that was associated with the phone in her room.
When I had typed in the password incorrectly it returned with an error so I have confidence that it is getting there. I wish that FFL would give an actionable error so I knew what to look into fixing.
Thanks for any thoughts that could help this
