Running an EdgeRouter Lite
But what about the firewall that blocks traffic to the PBX?
No idea what that is, but that's controlled by the company. I took this the guys who work with them on these issues, I got a few complaints from customers while on the phone with them.. had to call from the Cell phone it's self so they could understand and here me.. Saw these errors after restarting the apps. Thought I'd see if this was something wrong with my firewall are not..
Not what you've said in the past - you said your company hired the firewall services out so they would have a "managed" firewall situation.
for our customers.
and Vast controls the firewall for us at the office so its "managed"

And not a server address?
What app are you using on the phone?
I know Bria, for example, can supply the server info to the clients - they are a heavily managed SIP client.

it's called the Vast Communicator.
No server address -

This is just a consumer home service? No wonder they don't have any support. Those places would never be able to handle this. Even Cox and Comcast don't have any business phone offerings. This stuff is low end for a HOME user!

Did you see they had a "business" offering on their website.
Scott - while I understand the POV you're taking - Why hasn't someone/some company stood up and heavily advertised solutions like NTG and Bundy & Assoc provide? There might be a tiny bit of advertising out there for it, but really, google searches will almost NEVER lead to either of you. The big boys are crushing you face time. And you're surprised companies aren't using systems like yours more? why?

I'm just guessing that they both have more than enough business as it is, why advertise for more?

Long before COVID19Well, you could present NTG or Bundy & Assoc offerings, likely showing a significant savings over what you have now... the only thing is the likely sunk cost in your current phones at the office.

That's not a real suggestion is? Does google think it has enough business? or Apple, or Microsoft or Amazon? I'm betting not. Why would NTG and Bundy be any different?
