What you're running into here is a common problem with Cellphones. You don't give enough information to really solve your problem, though. Asterisk IVRs that respond to DTMF from cellphones can be done (I do it all the time).

That said, If you are using VoIP to get the call onto your PBX, here are a few places you can check:

  • Ensure that DTMF if carried to you via RFC2833, NOT tone.
  • Ensure that you are not using low bandwidth codecs like GSM.
  • Verify that the cellphone you are using will work with someone else's IVR before you beat your head against the wall for what turns out to be a carrier problem.
