TopStop limit
If outgoing calls are no longer possible, the monthly TopStop limit may have been reached.
TopStop is a protective feature for VoIP telephony.
Costs may be incurred if unauthorised persons gain access to your VoIP login details or if a connection unintentionally remains active.
For this reason, a limit of CHF 50.00 per month is configured by default for each Green Talk telephone number.
If the call charges exceed CHF 50.00 within a month, no further outgoing calls are possible.
In this case, you will hear the busy signal when dialling a chargeable telephone number.
Incoming calls remain possible.
Outgoing calls to the emergency numbers 112, 117, 118, 143, 144 and 147 also remain possible.
Note: If the TopStop limit has been reached and you would like to increase it, contact Green by telephone on +41 56 460 23 23.
The call charges are automatically reset to CHF 0.00 at the beginning of the following month.
Outgoing calls are possible again from the first day of the following month if the TopStop limit was reached and no increase was made.
