FAqs
Q. Why the voice quality seems to
degrade when I download from the Internet while talking
on the phone?
In order to reserve enough bandwidth for
your VoIP connection, you need to install/program your router/firewall
to do some type of QOS (quality of service) or reserve at
least 200kbps of bandwidth for your VoIP device.
Another solution is to purchase a Mediatrix 2102 and install
it between your cable/dsl modem and your firewall. The Mediatrix
2102 will automatically reserved enough bandwidth and will
prioritize your voice traffic.
Q. My Asterisk server sits behind
a firewall; which signaling protocol should I use?
In this case, we strongly suggest to use
the IAX protocol to travers NAT firewalls without any troubles.
Q. I only get one way audio?
This is most likely a configuration problem
with your NAT firewall. Make sure you forward the right UDP
ports to your SIP device. Forward port 5060 (SIP) and all
your RTP ports (check your rtp.conf file).
Q. What's a DID?
DIDs are an acronym for telephone numbers.
You can assign multiple DIDs from the following regions to
have a local presence everywhere:
Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, London, Kitchener, Hamilton and Kingston.
Q. When do I receive my call detail
records?
You receive your CDRs everyday by email
with your prepaid account balance.
Q. Does my prepaid account expires?
If you didn't commit to any minimum calll
volume, your prepaid account will expire after 1 year from your last prepaid account recharge date. This means if you do not use your $50.00 for all your calls during a one year period, you will loose your balance of your prepaid account and we will recharge your account with another $50.00.
Q. Can I install my server next
to your VoIP gateway?
YES! We offer a service call VoIPColo. With
this service, you install your server on our private VoIP
network and you get the perfect voice quality with no IP
bandwidth cost. This is a very good solution for automated
IVRs, voicemail servers, etc.
Q. I want all the feature of a
VoIP PBX but I don't want to be bother to setup my own
server, do you offer this service?
You can purchase our hosted IP-PBX solution.
With this solution, you only connect your VoIP adapters to
your internet connection and we setup all your VoIP PBX feature
on our central IP PBX server for you. You don't need to purchase
any server, we take care of this!
Q. Can I cancel my VoIP service
at any time?
YES you can. But you loose the balance left
over in your prepaid account.
Q. If I purchase the Mediatrix
2102 ATA, do I own it and is it a locked device?
You own the VoIP adapter and it's unlocked!
If your purchase a Mediatrix 2102 from us, you can use it
on any SIP compliant network.
Q. What is the difference between wholesale and retail international rates?
Most of our customers will use our wholesale rate routes for international calls with good voice quality. But in some cases, you may have difficulties to route international calls using anyone's wholesale rates and you really need to terminate this call. You can then dial 0+011+country-code+number and route the call through our Premium international routes with a higher call rate and call connection quality.
You can download the wholesale rates here and the Premium rates here.
Our international Premium routes are exactly the same as Bell Canada's international routes used by their retail customers.

of NPA-NXX covered by the RBOCs and independent telcos?
