SIP REFER - To Telnyx
# ❓・bug-report
d
Hello, haven't touched my voice agent for a long time. Been working in production using SIP REFER cold transfer back through Telnyx which I have then going to VitalPBX trunk in Telnyx. Getting busy on the inbound leg from Retell AI to my vitalpbx trunk. I can't find anything wrong with vitalpbx we have endpoints active registered per asterisk waiting for calls but 486. Looks like SIP REFER is now using same as inbound? INVITE sip:7209533316@5t4n6j0wnrl.sip.livekit.cloud instead of how it was 3 days ago was sending same invite here INVITE sip:17209533316@44.253.49.240:5061 I haven't had issues with Retell so very hesitant posting here but been looking at it for over 3 hours now and just seems like all of a sudden SIP REFER cold transfer started behaving differently or there was a breaking change implemented (seems unlikely). https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1464386925665194047/1464386925837422592/goodinboundcall3daysago.txt?ex=6975481a&is=6973f69a&hm=d84fb33db94ac58799bb4bdfa6c4799a03b16158aabb1c0a36f1acf561add120& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1464386925665194047/1464386926424358962/newbadsipinvite.txt?ex=6975481a&is=6973f69a&hm=ea49dea83a4a7f26ff03aa00b40e3bc65d7de6ddfffe119ba3267f89a9d21055& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1464386925665194047/1464386926856376390/newbadcall.pcap?ex=6975481a&is=6973f69a&hm=d46bea12c6edfca10d4fb4710abff3ee806ce5a84d96da964c009d00161e1627& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1464386925665194047/1464386927678722242/older_successful_call_log.pcap?ex=6975481a&is=6973f69a&hm=b427984befaf62add8a30434661c52849236e24289857c3deda06079a7228bd2&
do I need to change to SIP INVITE or make changes? Please let me know, phones are down at the moment. Kind of weird I can't call anyone and get immediate help for a paid service but if this gets responded to quickly no sweat I guess.
I see many changes since I was last in here. I simply republished the same version of my agent with cold transfer SIP REFER through telnyx etc and seems to have fixed it. That is great but concerning at the same time. Can someone do a postmortem please

sip invite only works with numbers bought through the dashboard -- hope this helps

Colin, we have had this in production running around $250 a month in cost fyi - 4 physical locations all inbound phone calls run through it since last August. Retell AI (as proven in the logs I provided) started sending different SIP INVITE back through the same agent. I'd like support to confirm that I made no changes to my agent. All I did was republish the same agent and it started sending the expected/original/typical sip invite back through the sip trunk e.g. telnyx. I would expect such as clearly a bug that made it lose it setting despite not having a setting changed.
