Unable to make or receive calls
- Check whether the endpoint is configured properly and registration was successful. You can also trigger the retrieve an endpoint method to retrieve endpoint details.
- Make sure you've set up the proper application to the endpoint to make calls. You can use the direct dial app to make calls using an endpoint.
Direct dial: http://plivodirectdial.herokuapp.com/response/sip/route/?DialMusic=real&CLID= PUT YOUR CALLER ID HERE
You should have this URL as answer_url for the application that's assigned to the Plivo endpoint.
Call disconnected
- Check the session expiry time that's set up in the softphone, hardphone, or SDK.
- If everything is fine, and if the call was not disconnected by the caller or call recipient, then please contact support@plivo.com so that our support team can investigate the issue.
Call quality
VoIP call quality depends on the following factors:
- Caller and call recipient network connection
- Local network setup
- Caller and recipient’s phone networks
- Headset functionality
- Plivo’s partner carrier
