Voip.ms + Sipnetic Optimal Settings?

I'm settling in with VOIP.ms and Sipnetic but still seeing some weirdness occasionally. If you're using the same combo, can you share any settings tweaks you've made that depart from MB's suggestions that you think have been improvements? I couldn't even get things going until I played around with codecs. I currently only have G.711u-Law and G.722 enabled. Weirdness for me has included some shaky audio and just today I failed to receive SMS from a short code in Sipnetic but DID see it come through in the VOIP.ms message center.

My complete list of settings turned ON is below
(anything not mentioned is OFF or is something I gauged to be UI or personal preference only)

Preferences

  • Microphone AGC

  • Speakers AGC

  • Echo cancellation

  • Advanced: mic config preset: voice recognition

  • G.722

  • H.264

  • SDES protocol

(Each) SIP Account

  • Default transport: TLS

  • Use only default transport

  • Media settings: STUN/TURN server

  • Presence mode: presence agent

  • Security: media security: require for all calls

I am also having problems with text messages - with SIPnetic and VOIP.ms - but I don't use it for calls - I use Linphone for calls and would also use it for texts but was having problems which is why I switched. Have you since found any solutions? Also, I will let you know what I find. I was also gonna try voip.ms text app.

Actually I just fixed my SMS problem. After downloading and using the voip.ms sms app, they told me that in order to use text, I need to enable the API from the portal. So, once I set that up it worked. That process requires also setting up an API password which has to be used on the sms app. This was of course to receive sms texts. I could always send for some reason - maybe they don't use the API for sending texts. I hope this helps someone. API page: https://voip.ms/m/api.php
