Testing VoIP using “Fun Numbers”
May 13th, 2010
Fun numbers are free (no cost) numbers you can call to either test your connection or get several services. The connections to these numbers are usually free of charge, as the “lines” are using the internet to transfer your voice between you and the service.
Please note, this doesn’t mean that all services provided by the operator are at no charge! Some numbers, like the following test numbers, are provided by different phone operators at no cost. Some operators are even allowing connections to toll-free numbers.
SIPNumber | Description |
---|---|
sip:500@ekiga.net | Echo test, supports video (H264, H263-1998, H261 only), as well as audio (PCMA only) |
sip:520@ekiga.net | Call-me test (call, hangup, and you will be called right afterwards), supports audio only |
sip:501@ekiga.net | Public conference room from Ekiga.net |
sip:501xxxx@ekiga.net | These rooms are public or private, anyone can join a conference at any time if he choose the right number or you can protect the access with a PIN number. |
sip:5011122@ekiga.net | french conference room 1122 |
- where x = any digits from 0 to 9.
- When using the conference rooms (501xxxx) you’ll be asked for a “PIN number”. The first person to enter a ‘room’ may specify a PIN by entering a number (followed by #) to limit access to the conference room, just entering # will make this conference room public. When the last person leaves a conference room, the PIN will be cancelled and others may use the ‘room’.
