This account is already in use

Post by sharky »

I have opened a ticket with the HelpDesk but wondered if anyone knows a solution?

Over the past 2 hours whenever I try to make a call or anyone calls me I get a message "This account is already in use"

I have tried to turn on call forwarding from the web browser to forward my calls to a cell phone but no luck.

I have a home phone with the GrandStream box from freephoneline.

Thanks

Have you tried power cycling your ATA?

That error will happen when you're using two channels of calling and try to use a third. Usually it means the ATA didn't disconnect your last two calls properly.

Yes several times - first thing the guy on the support call asked me to do as well.

Seems teksavvy is cycling my IPs today, so when I am on a call, and my IP changes the call drops. I have now gone through 6 IPs today so I am betting that is why the calls are hanging.

Any way to get this reset - resetting from my end doesn't help?

Can you PM me your number? I should be able to disconnect any hung calls.
