Using the system

How does the system work?

We provide A-Z termination through our VoIP switches in London.  We also provide you with an online control panel to manage your account.

How do I get started?

  1. Create a new 44Mobile account.
  2. Configure your VoIP equipment.
  3. Make a payment and start calling.

Do you provide CDRs?

Call records are available to view in tabulated HTML format at the online control panel.  They are not available for download.

What are the billing steps?

The billing steps are 1/1 - per second.  Individual call calculations are rounded up to the next USD 0.0010 increment.

Routes and rates

What are your routes like?

We send all traffic to tier-1 carriers in London using TDM interconnections that we own and manage.  Those carriers provide us a reasonable blend of white and grey routes.

What if a route fails?

We have interconnections to multiple carriers.  If a call fails, our switch will often overflow it to an alternative route automatically and in real-time.  Sometimes, this re-routing needs to be set manually by our support team.  44Mobile rates closely match the wholesale market.  If, for pricing reasons, an alternative route is not available, then a price adjustment will be announced, but the route may not work until that price adjustment comes into effect.

How often do you change your rates?

44Mobile rates closely mirror the wholesale market and consequently change every few days.  Rate change notifications are sent by email and new rates are available for download in Microsoft Excel format at the online control panel.

Where are your dial codes?

Dial codes are available for download in Microsoft Excel format at the online control panel.

Technical questions

What is your IP address?

You should send calls to sip.44mobile.net or 95.154.218.4.  If you use SIP and are authenticating by fixed IP address, you MUST send calls to our non-standard SIP port 6060.

Can I authenticate from a dynamic IP address?

Yes.  If you have a SIP adapter, you can configure it to use your account number and password for authentication.

Can I use a Linksys PAP2?

Yes.  We recommend the following settings:

  • NAT settings
    • NAT Keep Alive Enable = No
  • Proxy and Registration
    • Proxy = sip.44mobile.net
    • Outbound proxy = [blank]
    • Use Outbound proxy = No
    • Make Call Without Reg = Yes
    • Answer Call Without Reg = Yes
  • Subscriber information
    • User ID = [Your 44Mobile account number]
    • Password = [Your 44Mobile password]
    • Use Auth ID = No
  • Supplementary Service Subscription
    • Three Way Call Serv = No
  • Audio Configuration
    • G729a Enable = No.  (If you are only using one port on the device, you can set this for "Yes" for improved audio quality.  But, the adapter only allows one concurrent Low Bitrate Call when this codec is enabled.)
    • DTMF Tx Method = INFO

Can I disable dynamic IP address authentication?

All 44Mobile accounts are created with dynamic IP address authentication enabled.   Please contact our support team if you would like to disable this and authenticate using a fixed IP address only.

How do I add or remove an IP address on my account?

You should send an email to our support team detailing your requirements.

Can I have multiple fixed IP addresses on my account?

Yes.

Can I use a shared fixed IP address?

If you use a hosted softswitch that does not give you a unique public IP address, then we will need to add a tech. prefix to your account.  You should send an email to our support team detailing your requirements.  Bear in mind that no further per-call authentication is provided, so all calls from your IP address and with your tech. prefix will be assigned to your account.

What dialling pattern should I use?

When created, 44Mobile accounts will accept calls in either of these formats:

  • Country + Number (E.164)
  • 00 + Country + Number

Please contact our support team if you would like a different dialling format.

Should I use H.323 or SIP?

We support both call signalling protocols, but we recommend that you use H.323, because it is more reliable.  If you use H.323, you must enable Fast Start and H.245 tunnelling.  If you use SIP and you are authentication by fixed IP address, you MUST send calls to our non-standard SIP port 6060.

What codecs do you support?

We support G.729 and G.723.1 (fast rate).

Do you support the G.711 codecs?

Our standard accounts do not support G.711.  But, if you request it from our support team, it can be added.  There is a 2% uplift on rates for accounts that have G.711 enabled.

Will DTMF work?

Yes.  For H.323, you need to enable H.245 tunnelling and send DTMF information in an H.245 UserInputIndication message.  For SIP, you need to send the information in SIP INFO messages.

Will fax work?

Our service is primarily voice, but fax may work to some destinations.  Your equipment will need to support the T.38 fax protocol over H.323 or SIP.

Do you support Asterisk?

We support Asterisk using SIP, but not IAX.  But, you will need to install and licence the G.729 or G.723.1 codec, unless you are willing to pay the 2% rate uplift charged for adding G.711 support to your account.  Also, you should disable re-invite on the trunk group, because we do not support that feature and it is not possible to renegotiate the media path once it has been established.

Can you configure my VoIP switch for me?

No; we do not offer that service.

General questions

How can I contact you?

Financial questions

What is the set up cost?

There are no set up costs for new accounts.

When should I pay you?

Our service is prepay.  Your account must be in credit before calling is allowed.   When your balance reaches zero, the calling will be disabled until we process your next payment.

How can I pay you?

We accept wire transfers and Western Union Quick Pay and we do not charge for those payment methods.  Subject to approval, we accept online payments with credit cards and PayPal (verified) in Pounds Sterling with a 2% transaction fee.  We can also accept online payments in Euro and US Dollars, but there is a 6% transaction fee for these payment methods.

Is there a minimum term?

No.

I have lots of traffic.  Can I get lower rates?

Yes.  We offer discounts for larger prepayments.  Please see our rates page for more information.

Can I have per-second billing?

Yes.  All accounts have per second (1/1) billing.
