In theory they both should. The first one that answers gets the call. I've not tried this personally but I know someone who has and he says it works ok. Ivor |

![]() Hi Ivor, I would like to think that was true as I was asked that question only the other day but the answer I gave was different and only based on assumption. If there are peeps out there who say it works then great! My answer was to try it and see because my understanding of the way sip calls get through to you is by peeps like sipgate knowing where you are in order to forward calls to you.... I assumed that this is down to the registration that your unit sends out (mine is every 60 mins) whereby the external IP is sent out to the relevant company. Would 2 such registrations, sending back different IPs, not confuse matters? My assumption was that this might work but only on the basis that the reg times would have to be staggered and in that case the most recent reg would get the call? Then the reg's, if staggered, would alternate who gets the next call after each registration? Please help a confused sole....... :-) Mav "Ivor Jones" wrote in message ... dojodirectory.co.uk wrote: hi, i was wondering, if i have two IP phones configured with the same (sipgate) details / credentials and plugged in ay home and at the office which one rings when someone calls?

Cheers Mav It's general practice in most groups, including this one, to add your text at the end rather than at the beginning, as I am doing here. Top posting is adding it at the start, as you are doing. Top posting makes a thread somewhat more difficult for other people to follow, as it involves scrolling up and down to read the text in the order in which it was wrtitten. Bottom posting is better for this as the additional comments follow on in the correct order. The down side is that the post can become quite long, but the use of judicious snipping of irrelevant and often quoted text eases this somewhat. I hope I did not come across as being a complaining old so-and-so, it was not intended in that way. All the best, Ivor |

I always thought it meant replying to the O/P rather than the one you were answering :-) Mav = dimwit sometimes! Apols for being a numpty..... Cheers Mav P.s. I don't know why peeps go on about Sipgate like they do either as I've never had a problem and neither have the mates I've recommended them to! Even support e-mails have been swift. Give em a chance everyone... :0) |

Even support e-mails have been swift.

![]() I haven't seen the original article so I'm answering this one!

Both (for Sipgate - haven't tried anybody else) will ring. The first one to answer will cause a 'CANCEL' to be sent to the other. I haven't rigorously tested this - but Sipgate seems to allow up to 3 different registrations for a given number. I have had 3 phones registered, all on different IPs, and all rang when called.

I use both an ATA with a real phone on it and also a laptop running X-Lite. Incoming calls ring both until one is answered. Steve. |
