Invalid Number Format (incomplete number) for certain International Calls

johnnylingo · ‎11-16-2007

I ran across and interesting error message I haven't seen yet, and was wondering if anybody else had experienced the same thing. When the customer calls out to most countries (Japan, Korea, Singapore, France, etc) the calls connect just fine. In the ISDN debugs, I see the plan being set as Unknown and same for the number type.

When the dial the UK however, the call is rejected and I see the below output in debug. Interestingly enough, I see the type in this case is set by CallManager as International. I thought this was just a local telco issue, but we re-routed the International calls through a few other offices and had the same results.

So I guess my question is, why would CCM be specificially setting the type to International just for the UK? Is it possible to adjust this somewhere in CCM or do I have to adjust it on the Voice Gateway?

CCM version is 4.1.3es111 and this is an H.323 gateway.

Figured it out - they should have been dialing

011 + 44 + 0207 + 437XXXX

Because the area code for London is 0207, not 207. So the ISDN error from the Telco was correct.

You need to drop the leading 0 for the call when dialling it from abroad so the debug is correct

+44207xxxxxx

011 + 44 + 0207 + 437XXXX

Because the area code for London is 0207, not 207.

The London area code is 20 and the number will have an 8 digit local number beginning 3, 7 or 8.

The 0 national access code is not dialled from abroad.

From the US or Canada dial:

011 + 44 + 20 + 7437 + XXXX

From Europe dial:

00 + 44 + 20 + 7437 + XXXX

Hi

I guess you are using primary-ni as switchtype. If you dial a 15-digit number the gateway will set the numbering plan to International and some of the telcos in US doesn't allow other numbering plans than unknown

Try to add the following to your serial interface

isdn map address ^011* plan unknown type unknown

Edit: Saw now that the thread is 5 years old, I hope the problem is solved now :-)
