Just wait a bit. It's just a temporary failure. 8)
Could be a problem on another service provider in network but in any case you receive DISCONNECT from your provider so you could create a ticket.

When you decode Information Element, your first octet (82) cause for issue is "No route to specified transit network".
This is coming from your carrier. Therefore it's on their end. You should tell them that the information element message you receive in your isdn trace mention that THEY are telling you there is no route to the transit network.

means "Unallocated (unassigned) number.

They dont know how to route that. Probably on their end again.
