Hi all, I was going to go with BT Broadband Talk but I read a lot of good things about Skype. Can you recommend a good headphone set? Also I take it there is no way to use a regular phone with Skype. Is that correct? I have one person I currently telephone in the USA on a daily basis, sometimes over 2 hours a day. I currently use call18866.co.uk, but even

Is there a softphone software, that i can put on my pda, that will allow me to use my PDA as a telephone when near a wifi spot. I can put my sipdiscount account details in

I've got a ST716 and a ST 716WL in 2 locations. I want to set up extensions on either easypabx or pbxes but I can't get either one to work with the built in voip ports. I can set up voip phones OK but that kinda misses the point. I've had voipfone working so I know the boxes work. Anyone had any experience with these combinations? TIA Liam

What is peoples preferred ATA to use with the sipgate service? I ordered a ZyXEL 2002L from Scan for 2 reason. 1) Scan had it, in stock, for £42.50 +vat which is the best price I could find. 2) I already have a ZyXEL router and thought for compatibility I would buy the same brand ATA. Now scan have emailed me and said they do not really have it in stock! I have cancelled the order.

Hi all, I just wondered if the BT Voyager 10v telephone adapter can be used with other VOIP services. Thanks

Anyone else unable to register with FWD..? My ATA has failed since yesterday evening, all other accounts (4 Sipgate & 1 Gradwell) working fine. The FWD site says everything is working smoothly (surprise, surprise..!) Ivor

HI all, Please could someone offer some recommendations as to the best way to go forward (and if this is possible) ?. I currently have 2 phone lines into my house, a BT home phone and an NTL phone I use for business in my home office. I have a 10mb NTL BB line (which I believe is 600k upstream). I want to replace both phone lines with 2 fixed VOIP numbers, if

Hi all. Question about this website: http://www.teckno.net/ Based in Spain. Seems like a fairly straightforward VoIP hardware seller, but the claim of "FREE 'phone calls to landlines in 49 countries" on the homepage sounds too good to be true. Being an eternal pessimist, I'm asking myself where's the catch? I already

I have Linksys PAP2 right now but it won't allow me from calling/receiving calls through my land line (NTL). Currently I have two DECT sets at my house but this is confusing to the children/wife. Most of the time they'll use the NTL line rather than VOIP set. I'm thinking of buying a Zoom VOIP ATA 5805 which has so-called Teleport port. Will I be able to make/receive call through my land line...

Hi, novice would be grateful for some advice. We live in north London and at the moment we have a BT line through which our pc is connected to virgin broadband. the pc is on for a lot of the day, but not all the time. we want to be able to make fairly regular cheap calls ( five or ten a week ) from London to Japan. we have been using the 18866 indirect service so far for this via...

Hi there, I just signed up for Broadband Talk but has since discovered this group and BT Broadband Talk don't get a good write-up. I have also just discovered SIPphone and The D-Link 1402S, SIP adapter and 4 port router. Now is this a better option than BT? Here is what I want to do. My girlfriend lives in the USA and I in UK and it is costing us a fortune in pahone calls (even on the lower web

Thinking of using VOIP - and Bluetooth seems the only practical way to go - in that you can walk around and make a coffee while chatting - just as if it was an ordinary phone. Are all dongles equal? Or are some to be preferred? And what about Bluetooth headsets? Any preferred makes or models? -- Chris

As per the subject. I've seen mutterings on the internet that these things can be reflashed as a D-Link DVG-1120s http://voxilla.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=41586 ] but no real clues as to likelihood of success. Also, I've seen ex-BT ones that are locked; how possible is it to unlock them or re-flash them to get them to do something sensible? -- http://ale.cx/...
