Hackspace phone

Has had an upgrade. The old phone is in the two week bin, if the owner or whomever wants it.

What was wrong with it? It was from me so please put a do not hack sticker on it.
Paddy Duncan
Binatone is an upgrade?
Charles Yarnold
Can I check it's been removed from the 3 week bin? Last time it was "broken" it was a 30 second fix
Paddy Duncan
I’ve oiked it out, and shut the door, and replaced the coin tray…
Where would you like it put?

Charles Yarnold
If you could pop a sticker on it and place it in the members area that would be brill, should have a set of keys with it too.
Thanks
Charles
Paddy Duncan
Sorted, and it’s all there..
Mark Steward
Have I misread that? Did you really just chuck the phone in the two week bin because it was left off the hook today?
I think you've got rules 4 and 5 back to front:

Sorry Mark, didn't mean to upset you. I didn't consider it to be major, like changing phone provider or number or removing the facility entirely, rather just fixing the problem as per rule 4.
Anyway, no harm done, your phone is safe with a sticker and where you need it.
Thanks

Thankyou Paddy, my hero. I would have had to do this tomorrow myself otherwise!
Glad I let you know what was going on so we could keep everything well handled.

Fair enough, it's just a good idea to check it isn't someone's project. Nobody's needed to rely on the phone before, so it seemed a little premature.
Not upset or anything, I've certainly made the same mistake before. Thanks for mailing the list.

Can I be the only one surprised we don't have an Asterisk machine tied
into the phone & skype services yet?

Make it happen.

Sci. A few of us talk about it but never get around to doing it.

why not get a sip number, and then it's all software?

depending on phone package.
Unless I'm assuming wrongly, Asterisk can be set up with rule-sets so
it'll do the call through whatever option is cheapest at the time?

Does the 'space have a spectrum analyser? If so, someone should take a
look at the output from the phone, as cheap DECT phones tend to
continuously pump quite a lot of power. Better models of base-station
limit their transmit time when inactive.
It would also be fun to mess around with this, if the equipment is
available. (What is the legality of decrypting traffic to/from your
own phone here in the UK?)

Hi a few phone related things.
It is important that the space maintains a working phone and that it
is used if an emergency call ever needs to be made. The emergency
services are more likely to find a location quickly if called from a
fixed line.
Any kind of VoIP will cut into bandwidth especially on adsl with
limited outward bandwidth
If anyone wants to set up a voice service server in the space I have
some spare fxo to Ethernet devices
I also have a dect analyser which I could bring down some time.

Oh! There _is_ a cordless phone in the 2 week box, but a fixed-line is a much better idea if it's intended for emergencies.

I wasn't suggesting using a cordless phone , the dect stuff was in
reply to a previous post.
As was the offer of the fxo hardware.
Sorry if this was not clear but I am having to post on a crap phone
due to lack of broadband

FWIW if you call 112 instead of 999 from a mobile, they can trace your
location fairly easily. You can call 112 without signal from your own
provider as well, where as I *think* 999 only works on your own
network.

999 and 112. Any phone registering to a countries network will be
able to make emergency calls on that network. Auto unlock is
dependent on the handset manufacturer most program all numbers
(911,112,999 +others) some only program the numbers for the country of
sale.
Having recently seen the difference in data available to the
dispatcher (and in many areas this is feed directly to the emergency
crew) I would always dial an emergency call from a land line if
possible as address details are passed automatically. Mobiles can be
located but not instantly, there is also more room for error as humans
are passing the data. When you dial 999 or 112 from a mobile at the
moment you will here "this is ........ connecting mobile ************
" This is the mobile call centre connecting you to the emergency call
centre. This is still a manual process.
I am currently trying to get figures on how many london ambulance call
outs arrive at the correct address first time and whether the call
came from a mobile or landline. I know all this information is kept
it is just a case of wording the freedom of information request
correctly.
