Forward to French Mobile

I'm trying to set up forwarding of calls to my SIP number to my French handset while i'm on vacation. I've tried to follow Diafora's steps in this thread , although I'm not sure if I got the Inbound and Outbound routes correct.

My French number is +33 (0) 640 XXX XXX (left out the last six numbers for security purposes, obviously)

When setting the PSTN number, what should I do about the + and the (0), leave them in?

My Inbound Routing (named MobileForward) is set to ring my mobile extension.

My outbound routing (also named MobileForward) routes through my existing SIPsorcery trunk and the destination is a custom dial pattern: +330640XXXXXX

Does anyone have suggestions as far as what I might be missing?

try 0033640xxxxxxx

RE: Forward to French Mobile

Good idea, Baz. When the call attempt shows up in my call monitor, it now looks similar to calls that have been completed via SIP, but it still doesn't ring through.

The setup I'm using involves a Google Voice number that forwards to an SIP number provided by SIPgate (I'm using SIPdroid on my Android phone). If I call the Google Voice number from Gizmocall, it rings about six times, but never on my android handset, and then my Google Voicemail picks up. If I use Gizmocall to call the SIPgate number directly, it rings five or six times, and then I get a busy signal.

Stuff gets routed through SIPsorcery, and that may have an effect on things as well, but I'm not sure.

I don't actually have a VOIP provider (I don't think, I'm really new and uneducated when it comes to this stuff) but using my SIPdroid/PBXes/SIPgate/SIPsorcery/Google Voice setup has allowed me to make and receive calls for the last month or so. Is there some sort of service I'm going to need to add before the call forwarding will work?

RE: Forward to French Mobile

I would advise you to simplify things a bit, by getting a trunk from a normal ITSP that terminates calls to French mobile numbers, preferably one that allows you to set the CallerID. If this does not work properly, we should look into it as a PBXes issue.

If it does work, then try terminating the call through GV again, and see if the call functions properly. If it doesn't, you would know where the issue lies.
