I need help with Gizmo/GoogleVoice calls on my iPhone with Groundwire 1.1. The Gizmo number is linked to my GoogleVoice account as one of the forwarding numbers. I haven't changed anything from the defaults when adding a Gizmo account, and I don't know anything about codecs to mess with that on my own either.

When I select to call somebody in my Google Voice account online ("Number to call") by using my Gizmo number ("Phone to call with"), Groundwire rings as it should, I pick up and then I hear the ringing of the phone being called. When my friends pick up on their end though, I hear them but they can't hear me at all.

I'm using Groundwire on WiFi only.

Unfortunately, we are not able to acces the media library for push notifications. The iPhone does not allow this. If you choose system, it uses the default sound that the iPhone uses for push notifications.

Please try this. Tap on settings, then SIP Accounts, then your Gizmo5 account. Tap on advanced setting, then codecs for wifi. Move all of the codecs to the disabled section except g.711 ulaw. Be sure to save the change.

Hi,

Nice to know there's such a wonderful service.

re: Groundwire 1.4

Groundwire (version 1.4) is good:
* the keypad interface is nice, looks good, and works good
* many configuration options

Groundwire is not so good:
* the app doesn't automatically start when the iphone/ipod device starts
* it misses roughly 30-60% of inbound calls (in double NAT enviroments)
* there is no option to re-register accounts that have failures (you need to make a change in the settings to force a manual re-register command)
* UPnP to open ports in NAT routers is not supported
* when not using Push notifications and having stun enabled, having keepalives enabled, and keep the app always on, still a lot of calls are missed in NAT enviroments
* it lacks a private push server option (supplying sensitive data to third parties is not an option in many business environments)
* G.729 needs an awkward in app store purchase, combinate groundwire + all codecs in bundle, to save business purchasers time and hassle
* account balance is not shown for most VoIP providers (among them Betamax/Dellmont)
* removing old registration bugs: when changing settings and registrations fail, not all old registrations were removed. (Found this after receiving a maximum of 4 registrations per IP error message = a blueSIP.net restriction, each extra registration increases incoming calls with a 10 second delay: 3s = 1 registration, 13s = 2 registrations, 23s = 3 registrations, 33s = 4 registrations)
* no ability to sent the log file to yourself
* no ability to disable DNS SRV lookups

Please, please, please look into these issues. I'm currently using Groundwire as my office phone solution and these missed calls are killing me.

* Must be supported by all parties on the call. Check out our knowledgebase article for more details.
