Vonage question

[Beckzilla]

I have been going through all the posts for getting a daily call through the Vonage service and have tried all the suggestions and found one that only connects about 25-30% of the time. I saw a few posts about having Vonage increase the packet size. Does this really help the Daily call situation and how do I go about this exactly. Dial-in number 212-277-3895 Dial Prefix ,#096 Call Waiting Prefix none

If you're getting 25-30% success rate with a DirecTV TiVo, then just leave it. You don't need any more.

The Dialing Prefix 2122773895 & Call Waiting Prefix ,#019 work great with my 2 GXCEB0T and 1 HR10-250 virtually 100% of the time. But, why does it say next scheduled call (next week) and still dial out every day? Is that the Tivo part sending data daily? the Vonage log shows many, many calls to that number. I eventually unplugged the phone lines. Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread.

What does it show as the status of the most recent call? My guess is that it is not successful.

Most of the time when it fails I get...failed during negotiating or service not answering. What about the Vonage packet size?

[stevel]

That is something you would have to contact Vonage and ask them to change for you. But if it succeeds even once a month, that's all you need.

It generally shows a bunch of one minute calls, but not the normal call ins and it actually interupts my phone service during the day (line busy). Tivo "aggragate" data? Yes, I am paranoid.

[stevel]

The calls are to the TiVo number? The aggregate data should be uploaded only once a week, but if a call "fails" it may try again in a few hours.

I would just disconnect the phone line.
