Thanks to our own switching, you have advantages with netvoip that you have to do without with most other providers. Vital short numbers (e.g. 117, 118, 144) are just as accessible as business numbers (e.g. 0800, 0848, 0844).

Unfortunately, it can happen that phone numbers of netvoip AG as well as our partners and customers are misused by so-called “spoofing”.

The term “Call ID Spoofing” refers to the method by which calls can be made under a calling number that is simulated for the called party. Most such calls with a stolen number originate from abroad. The calls are routed through various systems, in certain cases also through phone systems of private or business customers.

If you receive repeated calls through “Call ID Spoofing”, it is possible for you to file a criminal complaint with the competent criminal authorities or a civil complaint with the competent civil judge. The criminal complaint can be deposited at any police station.

SIP stands for Session Initial Protocol and is the protocol most commonly used on the Internet for transmitting voice.

You can access your own voicemail directly from your VoIP device. Dial *98 to be redirected to the voicemail menu. When you call up the voicebox menu, you will first be asked for your voicemail-PIN which is set when you activate your voicebox in the netvoip portal.

SIP: 5060
RTP: 35000-65000

With netvoip, the following codecs are supported for calls to landlines and mobiles: G.711a-law, G.711 u-law

HD Voice enables a very high quality voice quality, this is realised by means of the g.722 voice codec.

This codec can be used between netvoip customers, but not with callers from external networks, as these calls go via the classic phone network. The g.711 codec is used by default.

The selection of the voice codec is controlled by the telephone or software client of the caller. Depending on the end device or software, different preferred voice codecs can be selected. We refer you to the manufacturer’s support for this.

Your passwords are not transmitted in plain text in the signalling but via encrypted hash. Calls via SIP / RTP are transmitted unencrypted. By splitting and transmitting the individual voice packets, eavesdropping on the conversation is very unlikely.

Unwanted callers can be blocked in the my netvoip portal. This feature is enabled for netvoip Talk and netvoip Prepaid Plus subsciptions.

Swiss phone numbers are entered in national format. International phone number are entered in International format with country code 00. Anonymous calls can not be blocked.
The percent symbol ( % ) can be used as wildcard to block e.g. number blocks. The entry 044123% blocks all callers that come in with a phone number starting with 044123.
Allowed characters: Digits 0 to 9 and %

Since the amendment of the Telecommunications Act as of 01.01.2021, blocking these advertising calls has been a major issue. As a telecommunications service provider, we are obliged to operate a technically suitable solution to prevent these calls. However, each provider can currently decide for itself what this solution looks like. Currently, many of the large providers work with dynamic block lists, which are filled with new phone numbers based on evaluations of the call statistics. In principle, this is a sensible approach, but there are several problems.

1. There are different providers of these block lists. This means that no one can say exactly which numbers are blocked and which are not. This means that no one is really responsible.

2. If you end up on these block lists with your own number, there are no efficient processes for getting off the list. We have already had various major customers (including banks, insurance companies, etc.) whose main number was no longer accessible from Swisscom and Co. The problem could only be solved after several weeks.

3. Call centres are constantly using new number ranges. This leads to the fact that the block lists in fact only block reactively. Often, numbers are already no longer in use when they land on the block lists. Our strategy in this respect is that we currently only block very clear spamming. We do not currently want to use a list from a third-party provider because we generally assume that our customers (especially business customers) would rather receive one call too many than one call too few. If the burden of calls is so great, then replacing your telephone number will help at best. We hope that in the coming months and years there will be more efforts in the market to solve the problem globally.
