| <Jasey> lol | |
| <hads> Anyone had any mobile phone SPAM? I just got a call from a number with no callerid that played a recorded message about drink driving and then said text 2244 to block future messages. | |
| <karora> Yeah, I've had it in the past, though not since I switched to Telecom, from memory. | |
| <hads> Hmm, I'm trying to figure out where it came from. So far I tracked it back to a promo compamy who used to use that number, talked to their MD and he is going to find out who currently uses that number. | |
| <hads> I hate spam, especially mobile spam. | |
| <karora> Are you on 021? | |
| <hads> Yep | |
| <karora> Did you find out by figuring out the 2244 belonged to the promo company? | |
| <hads> Yeah, this company used 2244 a few years ago for a promo, their domain details were out of date but a companies register search gave me the directors home number. | |
| <hads> The guy was really helpful and is going to talk to an engineer he knows and see if he can find out who is currently using it. | |
| <karora> Hopefully not one that goes through us. | |
| <hads> Goes through as in? | |
| <karora> We do a huge amount of SMS, but mostly for Telecom. We have a bunch that are with both telcos though. | |
| <karora> But we don't have 2244 in our database. | |
| <hads> That's good then :) | |
| <karora> :-) | |
| <karora> Actually you can ring Vodafone and ask them. All providers must contractually provide a toll-free number. | |
| <hads> Yeah, the call center person said "There's no record of that in our database" | |
| <hads> And "There's no way we could tell you where that call came from" | |
| <hads> Most helpful. | |
| <karora> Ah. Most annoying. | |
| <karora> I've always thought that if you wanted to do something like that, the thing would be to buy a bunch of prepay cards. Unstoppable. | |
| <karora> But of course you still need to have a value proposition in delivering your message. | |
| <hads> Yeah. | |
| <ajmitch> morning | |
| <kiwistar> morning from a wet kaitaia | |
| <kiwistar> go the bombers | |
| <karora> morning from a fine, but cold, Wellington :-) | |
| <hads> Morning from a sunny and unknown temperature Timaru. | |
| <hads> OT: Anyone know anything about the NZ numbering plan? | |
| <karora> Well, I know that number portability arrives next year and it all goes in the bin... does that help? | |
| <hads> Specifically the weird 9XX XXXX numbers that don't fit in. | |
| <karora> The 9XX numbers are all TelstraClear | |
| <karora> At least, they are until MNP... :-) | |
| <hads> But there's 908 XXXX which covers Asburton, Culverden, Amberly and Cheviot. Calls between those places would normally be toll calls. | |
| <Plug> 9xx generally means "not Telecom" | |
| <hads> Yeah. | |
| <Plug> TelstraClear were the first with them in Hamilton, but there are also Slingshot numbers now | |
| <hads> And WxC etc | |
| <Plug> yep | |
| <hads> I still don't get their prefixes though :/ | |
| <karora> I think Telecom were already using 23455678, 1 is for special numbers, 0 for tolls, so only 9 was left. | |
| <karora> So within 9 things necessarily ended up getting... complicated. | |
| <Plug> you asking to write a dialplan? | |
| <Plug> I think such things exist, but you would have been the first person I asked | |
| <hads> Yeah, I'm looking at writing a NZ dialplan for OpenPBX | |
| <hads> There is the Telecom document here; http://www.tnzi.com/internal.asp?cat=100005 but it misses the 9 prefix | |
| <karora> Cool. I think that you could only get the details from the companies using those prefixes though. | |
| <hads> Yeah. The non-9 stuff is simple enough. Silly 9. | |
| <hads> Cheers though guys. | |
| <karora> Can you just do as much 9XX as possible and then do a delayed dial on the rest? | |
| <ibeardslee> wobblies shalll be thrown if I have to change my 9xxxxx number | |
| <karora> Did you try e-mailing the address at the bottom of that page? | |
| <hads> Oh, it's not a dialplan for personal use, OpenPBX (a fork of Asterisk) are thinking of implementing an sort-of worldwide dialplan thing. | |
| <karora> Neat. We could do with a dialplan for Asterisk here in the office. | |
| <hads> karora: Yeah, I will do that, just thought I would see if anyone happened to know the ins and outs. | |
| <hads> OpenPBX is going in a bit of a different sort of direction to Asterisk. | |
| <karora> In what way? | |
| <hads> That's the type of thing I'm looking into -> http://trac.openpbx.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/browser/openpbx/branches/benjk/jp_numplan.plist | |
| <hads> Well at some stage it will become incompatible, differnt config syntax (plugable modules) for one. | |
| <karora> Interesting. We've been using Asterisk here for a couple of years now and it's mostly OK. | |
| <hads> They are hoping to have pretty much one channel type that leverages Unicall. | |
| <hads> Yeah, I've been using Asterisk for a while too, lately I've been looking into OpenPBX and Freeswitch, which both look like very promising projects. | |
| <hads> OpenPBX is solely GPL which means that they can easily incorporate Steve Underwoods excellent SpanDSP etc. | |
| <ibeardslee> what is spandsp? | |
| <hads> It's a software DSP library. | |

| <kiwistar> *kiwistar needs to get a fresh hot cup of coffee | |
| <Plug> kiwistar: use '/me' | |
| <Plug> /me does foo | |
| * Plug does foo | |
| * kiwistar needs to get a fresh hot cup of coffee | |
| <kiwistar> thanks plug | |
| <jono> Plug: ping! | |
| <Plug> jono: hello | |
| <jono> Plug: can you dial in with voip to the mentoring session today? would be great to have your feedback | |
| <Plug> very unlikely from work, i'm afraid :( | |
| <jono> ahhh thats a shame | |

| <ajmitch> hello jono | |
| <jono> hey ajmitch :) | |
| <jono> Plug: well if you can wangle to join us, that will be cool | |
| <jono> Plug: what do you mean by take the heat btw? | |
