color:#1F497D'>We have seen these issues over and over again with the
super-cheap or “free” conferencing services. They play games by
buying trunks into really remote areas (looks like Battle Lake, MN this time),
and those areas cannot handle the load these services bring (both in terms of
the local switches and other carrier’s trunks to those areas). You can
find another thread on this topic in the achieves as well, but take the issue
up with the conference provider, not Level 3.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have a switch out of the Miami and we are experiencing DTMF problems getting to
215 or 218 NPA. The call completes and then the DTMF to gain access to the conf
dies. I tries INFO and RFC2833, inband, via sip, transparent all using G711
codec. No luck on anything so I opened a ticket with L3 and L3 said that the
circuit is oversubscribed on the conf bridge side. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
