Subject: New ISP blocking VoIP
OM,
I humbly request that you help me in any way you can to get around my new ISP blocking
VoIP phone calls. On 9/4/2022, they stopped without warning or justification: both
Callcentric and Hamshack Hotline went dead at the same time.
On Monday, 9/5, I complained to the "Tech Support" number, and I listened to
their employee being told to "Blame it on his router," and then to her doing so.
I told her that wouldn't cut it, and she said she would "reset my modem" and
then Callcentric came back online. I made a call with my Cisco SIP phone, and talked to my
brother-in-law in Massachusetts for a few minutes, but right after we hanged up, the
Callcentric line was dead again. I complained again, with nothing but gobbledygook and
shaming and finger-pointing to show for it.
The ISP had some flack call me, and he told me that they were doing
"Cee-Gee-NAT," and couldn't map the ports required for Voip. I asked him how
the ISP could offer it's own VoIP service, right on their public-facing website, if
that were so. He said he'd have to do some more research, and I've never heard
back.
Here's a fervent "TIA" for any help you can offer.
73,
