Re: Connecting to Google Voice Via SIP
That is pretty much what I do, with two exceptions. First, I do not register anything to G5 because of an incompatibility between G5 and my ATA having nothing to do with GV. Instead, I forward G5 to myusername@sipsorcery.com. That works fine.
Second, I adapted a dialplan from mxnerd (»mysipswitch.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8892) which supports seven, ten, and eleven digit dialing.
The one weakness I have found in this system is that DTMF is a bit spotty. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I suspect this is a GV issue, since I don't think that either G5 or Sip Sorcery touch the audio. Any thoughts on this?
Edit: I was able to fix the DTMF issue (I think) by switching to Inband on my ATA. The setting is unavailable on the ATA's browser interface, and I had forgotten that it can be accessed via the ATA's command line interface. A little research and I found my own post from years ago that explained how to change this setting. Good thing I write things down in this forum! |

Bakersfield, CA | GV intercepts out of band DTMF for some of their in-call features, so that could be what your issue was and why in-band DTMF fixed it. |

1 edit | said by OmagicQ  :GV intercepts out of band DTMF for some of their in-call features, so that could be what your issue was and why in-band DTMF fixed it. Interesting. I tried several numbers with IVR menus, and all worked. I wonder, however, if I were now to try calling GV from this phone to pick up voicemail, for example, whether I might have a problem. I'll give it a try later.
Edit: I tried calling my GV number, and it rang many times with no opportunity to get into my voicemail. That's not surprising given that I'm essentially trying to bridge GV in with GV out through Sip Sorcery. |

Bakersfield, CA | When I added my IPKall did to GV, I had to enable RFC2833 on X-lite for GV to recognize the 2 digit code. Afterwards I turned it off. I prefer In-band DTMF because from my experience GV doesn't touch it. |

New York, NY | I am able to dial (myGVnumber)@216.239.37.15:5061 and it works fine. All my GV assigned phones ring, and if I dont answer it goes to VM. Perhaps this is because I have an old GC account. |

New York, NY | So do we have an easy way to integrate GV (GC in this case) into Asterisk for outbound calls without dialing * or other keys to place calls? |

1 edit | Yes, look around for references to the blog by Nerdvittles. I don't use it, but that's been cited a lot as a workable Asterisk solution.
For those who want a hosted solution, check out the threads on Sip Sorcery, for example this one: »GV dial with sipsorcery.
Edit: I'm not sure how either would work with GC. |

If you take a look at the source code of GC Dialer add-on for Firefox (no longer there), it is written in a JavaScript (JS) language that can be easily modified to use as an AGI script, let alone converting to other (scripting) languages, for those who are fluent with a JS language. However, knowing GV will terminate GC by 9/12/2009, this effort may be a waste.

I checked out nerdvittles, and it seems in order to get his solution to work you need a special home grown version of asterisk (that is available for download on his site). I would do that in a flash, however that would mean reformatting my current server and losing all the configuration files. Also, I dont know if NV's version includes a GUI which is critical for me.

I should point out that both of my Google Voice accounts work fine from a SIP perspective (I switched over from GC months ago). Am I really the only one who can still reach GV via SIP?

Dear GrandCentral User (xxx):
We are in the process of shutting down the GrandCentral service as we migrate all users to the new and improved Google Voice. Please upgrade your GrandCentral service to Google Voice now, by logging into your GrandCentral account and following the instructions at the top of your Inbox.
In one month, on September 15th, we will be turning off the telephony service of GrandCentral, and you will not be able to use any of the GrandCentral features. We will be leaving the GrandCentral website intact so that you may continue to access older voicemail messages for the time being.
If you would like to continue to use your GrandCentral number, it is important to upgrade to Google Voice now. It's free, has the GrandCentral features you are familiar with, plus several new features, like voicemail transcription, SMS, conference calling, and mobile applications for Blackberry and Android phones.

Any asterisk-1.4.x should work with the solution provided by nerdvittles, except when using Paul Marks GV Dialer Python scripts for AGI that requires asterisk-1.6.x that requires a new Bridge () function to make the outbound call transparent. If you want to use the Paul Marks GV Dialer Python scripts for AGI to place an outbound call, hang up, and wait for the incoming call, then you can use asterisk-1.4.x too.

I am doing nothing other than dialing (myGVnumber)@googleIPaddress:5060. This works on both my GV accounts, long since converted from GC.
