Hi,

I set up this way,

phonelite to pbxer.org (sip provider)
pbxer.org to ipkall.com (sip to pots phone number)
ipkall.com to google voice account

so I am able to receive calls from the ipkall.com phone number on my phonelite thus far

also when i try to verify my phone number with google voice, i can receive the call

*** here is the problem, google voice wants me to enter a two digit code in when they call me to verify.  

i tried using the mouse and using the soft keypad, result i hear tones, google apparently can't hear or understand them

i tried the same and pressing the green connect button to send the string through, same result

i tried typing the numbers using the keypad, same result

etc etc

any suggestions, is dial tone disabled, do i need to change protocols, how would one get through any customer service phone call without in call dial tone?

otherwise the sound is clear etc, set up was reasonable, like the phone so far, couldn't set up on any other i've tried.

I have no problems using such DTMF. I am using this to control an answering machine and some other menu driven services.
PhonerLite tries to negotiate RFC2833 - this is used to send such digits out of band. If the other party doesn't support this, inband tone generation is used.
Did you try this with the latest version of PhonerLite?

Did you try another softphone like X-lite, Ninja or Zoiper?
What VoIP provider are you using?

I am registered with German Sipgate (sipgate.de) and called the number 00448000270384. I could press 1 and 2 and the announcement changes - so I expect sending DTMF is working.
Something must be different between your and my scenario.

I used PhonerLite.
What version of PhonerLite are you using?
Phoner has an option in Options/Communications/CAPI that is called "own DTMF". Do you have activated this option?

PhonerLite sends DTMFs as in RFC2833 - that is supported by German Sipgate too. I don't have an account for UK Sipgate.

The option "own DTMF" means, that Phoner sends the tones inband. PhonerLite wants to negotiate out of band DTMF signalling - that works with German Sipgate here very well.
Only if the other party (Sipgate) doesn't tell that it supports out of band signaling for DTMF, inband signaling is used by PhonerLite too.
Please use PhonerLite and call your own (hardware) phone over Sipgate. After call establishment please press some dial buttons in PhonerLite: Do you hear anything on the phone?
