Hi forum. I am totally new to VoIP and SIP and need to ask some questions. I have an account with voipcheap.co.uk and I have been using their PC software for a few weeks now. I wanted to be able to make and receive calls all the time without my PC switched on so I replaced my USB modem with a Broadband router and bought myself a SIP phone - its a Safecom SDSIP-3000. I configured the phone with...

How this is possible, what is the standard, what systems are used, how cost.. http://freewebs.com/voipformula/

Hi Folks Just a reminder that there is a new UK Voip Forum which may be of use to some of you with any UK Voip queries. Here's the URL http://ukvoiptalk.com/ Fred.

Hi folks, I am trying to interface a Voice Active headset to a Safecom SDSIP-5000 phone (with headset socket) but it looks like the wiring needs some tweaking so I am looking for a UK source of RJ10 (not RJ11) leads and connectors so I can make up an adaptor - the ideal solution would be an extension lead so I can re-use the cable-mounted socket with a short cable tail and crimp on a new...

Would some kind sould help me modify the below Asterisk@home code? I would like all calls to reach the NVFaxDetect application, whether they have a blank CLID or not. Then I would like any voice calls with a blank CLID to hear a system WAV file ("The number you are calling does not accept annonymous calls. Please redial using 0871XXXXXXX, or call back without withholding your number"), whilst...

Just had a message from VoIPstunt that my ?10 credit is about to expire. What will I loose when it does? Will I still be able to call landlines for free? If not I doubt if I'll bother with connecting a USB phone to my PC as I can use their sister service on my normal landline (www.call18866.com) for 5p a call for unlimited calls to UK landlines anytime. Not a huge issue but ?10 = £7 which =...

Has anyone got one of these? Managed to find the administrator password, but it's still not letting me into all the config options, like caller ID or adding more than one VOIP service. Any ideas? TIA. Mike.

Having unsuccesfully searched the AAH forums I thought I'd ask here as there are a few regular asteriskers. I've setup a DISA on AAH 2.8 using FreePBX so that I can phone into my *box from my mobile and get a dialling tone and can then dial out using a selection of voip providers. All works fine. Except.... I'd like, after making a call over a voip trunk, to be able to stay connected to * and...

Is anybody else having a problem with outgoing calls via voip.co.uk today (and yesterday)?

Does anyone know if Sipgate allows access to SIP Broker? For example, Voiptalk users send **473 followed by the Sip Broker code for other VSP networks. Thanks Robin

Hello all, I'm faily new to Asterisk@Home. I've got the latest version up and running. In the netherlands I've got from my service provider 2 voip numbers (e.g. 0878700000 and 0878700001). The gateway is sip.xs4all.nl. All is working perfectly when I only register 1 number (e.g. 0878700000). I can make outbound calls and inbound calls are comming thru. But now I want to use my second...

Just trying to install the Linksys SPA3000, ordered from Broadband Buyer at 4.50pm yesterday and here at 9.15 this morning. When dialling out I get a rapid busy signal. Have followed the instructions on my providers site but this hasn't solved the problem. (basically port forwarding) Any idea as to which setting I might have wrong which could cause this. --

Hi Just got an unlocked UK PAP2 and I have some questions: 1) There is noise/static on the line - even without the network connection. Have tried both ports and corded and DECT phones. Google hints at some fix using port two but unfortunately I only have one adapter thingy. 2) How the heck do you get the damn thing to get the time right? Have set the NTP server addresses but it still thinks...

Dear friends, I have softwares to start a calling card company or to manage termination and wholesale VoIP. * Billing software * PC2Phone Platform * Calling Cards Platform * VoIP Termination * Wholesale VoIP

I have been experimenting with various aspects of EasyPABX. 1. Currently I have my geo DID pointing at my VSP and registering the SIP via EasyPABX (EP) just as though it was an ATA. That works fine. However, I have need to point the DID directly at a DDI on EP. I need to formulate the SIP address. I thought it might be the DDI ID +underscore+my EP ID eg. Well, that...

Since the automated upgrade to 2.10 build 336 (Monday), my call list has been deleted, dialling now takes about 300ms and the program crashes immediately after dialling. In other words, it is unusable. I have sent e-mails to them but there is no response. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Brian

Has anyone had any luck convincing one of these phones to stay registered with Asterisk@Home? It will register OK on boot, but when the registration expires and it needs to re-register, it fails to. It'll say in the web interface: 200 retrying with 192.168.3.119 forever, and *NO REG* on the screen. It's easily fixed by clicking on Re-Register in the web interface, or rebooting, but for a £150...

Can I check that I am understanding the spec of this unit correctly. It can handle more than one incoming and outgoing VoIP provider as well as a normal phone line? Thanks -- Lansbury www.uk-air.net

I need help with a Cisco dial plan please, i need to be able to dial *8, which i dont think i currently can. *St4-|#St4-|911|1#t8.r9t2-|0#t811.rat4-|^1t4#.- is current dial plan, and makes little sense to me

I've been using Freetalk for a few months now. Currently I have a cable modem with a 4meg connection, connected to that is a Netgear router and connected to the Netgear are 3 PCs, a Playstation 2 and my freetalk box. It has all been working fine, although I have noticed that when the internet is being heavily used (p2p, large downloads, gaming, etc) the quality of the voip drops a little...
