I had logged on to the support chat to have them check my line and the wait is much higher than the usual fast response. I am on a conference call so I can't call in right now.

After 10+ minutes I got- Leave a MessageLive Support is currently unavailable. Please leave a message below and one of our support personnel will get back to you shortly. |

| reply to ptrowski Due to the Grandstream recall and the volume of replacements being processed, things are a little hectic support wise today with all the related questions coming in.
It should level out over the next few days when all the replacements are out and fully up and running. |

Expect some delay though until all those are processed and the new adapters are online (lots of initial setup questions).
Tickets are the best bet (over live chat/phone) for the next week or so. |

3 edits | reply to ptrowski Support is going to be slow right now as well.
An outgoing employee pulled the fire alarm (intentionally) in our building and all 4 floors had to be evacuated to verify that no emergency was occurring.
This caused ear piercing sirens in the whole building (has been this way for at least 15 minutes). We're working to get it shut off now, but need the fire dept assistance for that.
Until it stops, the bulk of our support team will be outside (it's that loud).
Sorry for the inconvenience. Please use tickets if possible instead of Live Chat or trying to call. |

  ptrowski Got Helix? Premium join:2005-03-14 Putnam, CT clubs: | Sounds like here. The offices are in an old paper mill that was converted over. I swear they test the fire alarm every 2 days which is great when you are speaking to a client. |

Our building was mostly remodeled when we bought it, so everything is basically new but in today's case it was an employee in the building intentionally pulling the alarm, so it was more of a "real life test".

Basically we don't officially support fax or data/modems since it never will be consistently reliable with VoIP.
So they'll try to help you optimize the ATA for it, but since it's not officially support it looks like it was assigned a little lower priority than normal, but you should get a reply today. |
