[SIPForum-discussion] DTMF related sequences

Hi Gopa,

All service providers that I know of, support RFC2833(out of band) for 
sending DTMF, SIP INFO is fast becoming the standard for sending DTMF as 
it is more reliable. Your provider's SIP to PSTN gateway will translate 
DMTF signals into DMFT tones for PSTN when calling IVR systems.

The reliability of DTMF transmission depend of the following factors:

   1. DTMF transmission method - from most reliable to least reliable
      (SIP INFO, RFC2833, Inband)
   2. Routes used for termination, service providers that use poor
      quality routes for termination will not be able to deliver DTMF
      signaling properly
   3. Configuration & quality of the PSTN-SIP gateway used for PSTN
      termination

I hope this explains...
