Switch Telecom displays a +44 number identified as spam?
When calling local South African numbers, your correct +27 caller ID may display normally. However, when calling certain overseas numbers, the international route used by the provider may hand the call off to an overseas carrier or gateway. In some cases, that carrier does not pass your... -
Incorrect name on call id
None of the comments here take into account your possible platform. Most replies assume this is just a mobile handset lookup or an app issue, but your detail about MTN, Nashua, and a reseller points to something else. With MTN or Nashua via a reseller, the most likely cause is that the... -

Switch Telecom's anti-FreePBX shockvertising
Although Switch Telecom is a direct competitor of ours, I must commend them on their approach here. It is considerate and responsible for them to act quickly to protect their clients’ interests. I’ve personally seen the damage that poorly configured or unmaintained FreePBX systems can cause... -

Openpath.co.za scummy business
The company I work for has been in business for over 20 years, and we don’t do contracts. What I’m curious about is that you now cite all this information available on the internet and compare prices, yet why didn’t you do that before signing the contract? We come across so many businesses... -

VoIP over LTE. Airmobile and Telkom LTE
Both options will work, but the APN will depend on who you buy the SIM/data from. Failover in theory is very different from real-world implementation and is almost impossible with consumer-grade products it with require a physical reboot. Seamless failover can be achieved, but the limitation... -
Use cellphone as extension without PABX
