Common SIP Error Codes
1. Error Code 403
Error code 402 is one of the most common errors. It means that your username or password is wrong.
The reason for the error could be that you have a space in your username/ password or the password is wrong due to the system requesting password change which is good to protect your account from hacking.
Log into the device configuration and verify the account’s credentials to resolve this.
This info is available on your Ninja profile under the user/customer in the SIP accounts menu tab.
2. Error Code 404
Error code 404 is usually due to the incorrect number dialed or timeout on an attempt to dial a 10 digit number from an extension or device.
An extension cannot call a number dialed due to admin or user permission restrictions.
3. Error Code 486
Error code 486 is known as the busy code.
This error is actioned by the provider that the user is calling when the destination you are trying to reach is not available.
In this scenario, there is nothing to resolve. Just redial the number to see if the line is available.
4. Error Code 488
Error code 488 translates to not acceptable here.
It means that ICTGlobe.com Voice Server is not accepting and is more often related to the discrepancy between the codec you have selected in your device configuration versus the codec assigned in the Ninja portal.
Ninja, by default, assigns G711u, also known as PCMU or ULAW, and G729A enabled.
You will need to ensure that your device configuration matches these codecs.
5. Error Code 503
Error Code 503 could be related to various issues.
The most common issues are:
- Your Secure Sip account does not have sufficient funds to make the call. This can be resolved by loading credit via the Ninja portal
- You attempted to make a call with an invalid Caller ID. If you are using a Softphone/IP phone or ATA device, you must pass the caller ID from the Ninja portal.
