delay between dial and ring

[brewser]

I'm also getting a delay after dialing before I get the ring tone. This is on my home phone connected to the router. How do I fix this and what would be the cause?
Thanks:confused:

Unfortunately there is not much that we can adjust to correct the delay, if you hit the # key after the phone number it will force dial the call, or dialing in front with a 1 on long distance calls.

I had a lot of switching delay on both outgoing and incoming calls, too. My SPA-2100 ATA was behind my wireless router. Tech support had me forward a bunch of ports on my wireless router and the delay went away (perhaps not right away). Is your ATA behind a router? If so are all of the relevant ports forwarded?

You'll need provisioning disabled on your Linksys device, as well as admin access.

You need to correct the Dial Plan under advanced, Line 1.
(*[*x]x|[3469]11S0|0|00|<:1403>[2-9]xxxxxxS0|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|xxxxxxxxxxxx.|8500S0)

This string does the following:

*[*x]x dials * feature codes instantly
[3469]11S0 311, 411, 511, 911 all dial instantly
0 and 00 are there as accepted numbers

The <:1403>[2-9]xxxxxxS0 portion prepends 1403 to all calls placed that start with a 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and have 6 digits following. This is key for instant dialing out. This is for 7 digit dialing.

1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0 is instant dial out for 10 digit dialling.

xxxxxxxxxxx. is anything that doesn't match other patterns (6 second timeout)
8500S0 is instant dial out for voicemail (8500)
I use to remove 1403 if someone dials long distance calls that are in my same area code (403).


xxxxxxxxxx. is the default set by voip my life that causes dialed calls to timeout after 6 seconds and actually begin dialing... this is what causes the delay.

I have an international dialing rule as well on my other device that I could also post if anyone is interested.

also note... you need to disable short-digit dialling in the VYL control panel if you plan on using your own linksys dial plan.

When I dial a 7 digit/10 digit number, it's ringing outbound in under 2 seconds... voicemail and feature codes are immediate.

I also updated device to latest firmware to resolve issues with phone not ringing when incoming calls are occuring after certain amount of time.

Could you please provide your international dialing rule.
I am experiencing very long delays when calling internationally, particularly cell phones.
Thanks

What does the international number start with ?? 01 ? 011? How many digits total.

If you post a few examples with the last half of number substituted with X's I can make up a rule for ya.

[predator314]

You may just have to add a shorter timeout:
011xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.S3

Is a 3 seconds timeout for numbers starting with 011.

Thanks for the reply.

I usually only call Greece. So the numbers I'm trying to call are for example:

011-30-693-XXX-XXXX
and
011-30-694-XXX-XXXX

Thanks for the help.

If you want to be really specific to those two types of numbers, you could always add this to your dial plan:

0113069[3-4]xxxxxxxS0

This allows for 011-30-693... and 011-30-694... calls with no delay after the last digit is dialed. Of course, it's pretty specific to your calls. If you want a more general plan, figure out how many digits come after the 011. For example, I call Germany from time to time. The numbers I call are 011-49-xxx-xxxxxxx...that's 12 digits after the 011. So:

011xxxxxxxxxxxS0

will dial the number without delay.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
Will give this a try as soon as I can.
