Linphone and VoiceMail Issues

Echo Limiter Prevents FreeSwitch Voicemail Functionality

If you experiencing issues while trying to leave a Voicemail due to 'Your recording was below acceptable levels' or similar errors try turning off the recommended 'Echo Limiter' in Linphone's settings.

I experienced this problem on the latest version of Linphone for Android when calling my FreeSwitch setup. Testing from a land line and with other soft phones worked as expected, changing 'record-silence-threshold' and 'record-silence-hits' FreeSwitch's mod_voicemail settings had not effect, and hence through the process of elimination the culprit was determined to be the 'Echo Limiter' setting.

Saving you hours and hair; so do +1 this.

Softeher 'Error occurred. (Error code: 2)' sollution

Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server. The Softether server by default to run on port 443 , if you server also hosts normal https then 443 is already taken and so Softether can't bind to it. When you run `vpncmd` it attempts to connect, find an active port, but of course fails with 'Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from the destination server.' because it's not actually connecting to the vpn server. By default Softether also listens on 992 , 1194 , and 5555 so the sollution is to modify specify `localhost:5555` when executing the `vpncmnd`. If this has helped you feel free to comment or follow me on twitter @danielsokolows .
