Anyone using the security bundle (AV, firewall etc) included as a free of charge download as a part of some VM broadband accounts? http://www.virginmedia.com/myvirginmedia/security/find-out-more/ Verdict?

Wonder if the assorted contents heron could help with this one?. A Taxi company we know has a data system that when the Taxi approaches the premises the data system knows this by the GPS tracking system and hence makes a two ring call to the punter to let them know their Taxi is outside:) This works very well and is considered most useful by the customers but its just intended to let them know...

March 06, but been going on a few days. About half call attempts connect immediately to a "loud buzzing noise". Occurs both to mobiles and landlines. I guess I'll call customer service. Wait a minute, there isn't any.

As the title. Need to find out how much call credit is left, but without a PC...? Is there a number to dial or a menu item that tells you the balance? Thanks

I've been following the excellent tutorial provided by Graham to set up a Skype to SIP Gateway, for use with a Skypephone S2. http://www.skypegateway.webs.com/ However, it seems that Orbtalk no longer provide free UK numbers to individual users. Are there any alternatives, and if so, how do I set them up? John

I currently have a PAP2 which works fine but I' need a second ATA. To my surprise the price of these ATAs is now (around £40) about the same as 5 years ago when I bought mine (I had assumed price would have come down). I would rather like to have some additional facilities like a standard POTS port as well as an integrated ethernet switch. What would you recommend - another PAP2 or something...

Does anyone know if it is possible to switch off Call Waiting on Sipgate? Thanks, Dave

Hi all What are the dangers associated with installing Skype software on a PC connected to a corporate domain? Previously I have heard scare stories about servers being hijacked and used as supernodes. Does opening up the company firewall to allow this communication pose a threat to the general corporate security? Any other gotchas?

Hello, Does anyone knows were can I get a portugues voip-in number? Thanks in advance.

I tried to place another credit card payment with SMSListo today, only to find it's vanished. Instead, I am expected to use UKASH (what on earth is that?!), Western Union, or Bank Transfer. Has this happened for any/every-one else, too? I'm pretty sure I've heard of this happening before; do any of you know approximately how long (if ever) it takes for this sort of problem to get fixed? I've...
