Voip Updated Howto,New Voip Phones,Voip Conferencing, How this is possible, what systems are used, what is the standard, all that is covered by this ... http://www.freewebs.com/voipformula/VoIP-HOWTO.html

Hi, Still having problems with AAH 2.8 and voip.co.uk. The current problem is that if I dial 121 (for voicemail) the system dials up to v.c.uk as planned, but it never answers the call. Their support desk told me it was a problem with codecs. I've tried a few options, but no improvement!

Is there a list somewhere of who peers with who. I have tried searching quite of few of the UK VoIP providers but the information just doesn't seem available. What I'm trying to find is someone who peers with delta three (iconnecthere.com) in the USA so I can divert a UK number to my US one over VoIP. Unfortunately iconnecthere no longer works with a sip address, in fact they will not even...

Original threads are now a long way back. I am trying to establish how many people have purchased these and had problems. I am still awaiting a refund from "digidave" for the replacement box he sent me. A few people have also been in contact with me too, they also could not get the piece of junk to work. Digidave is also being less than honest with the reviews on his site; he keeps deleting...

Is it possible to link my mobile phone headset/earpiece to the PC, and use it as a Skype headset? If so... how? Many Thanks -- Richard Faulkner

At work we have 2 separate bt accounts and 2 different numbers. All pcs are linked by wifi. Only 1 computer utilises skype to talk to other commercial users of skype, which is on the increase. We would like to keep existing tel nos for incoming calls only, so utilising the existing Samsung system, but have separate normal phones (approx 6) all linked into the wi fi system utilising voip....

I had to move my ADSL wireless router/modem to the master socket in another room to get a decent throughput. I'm now left with a Grandstream budge tone 100 sitting on my desk not connected to anything. My PC has a wireless card and I was wondering if I could connect the phone via my PC using the Ethernet socket. I have a UT-Starcomm wi-fi phone that I use for most calls so it doesn't matter...

Hi guys I am new to this so be kind to me! Looking for help if possible to set up a Linksys PAP2 so that I can dial in from a cell phone to one of the PAP2 numbers and then get a dial tone on the 2nd PAP2 number so I can route my mobile calls through my VOIP account. Is this possible, or if not, anyone know of any device that this can be done with. Thank You in Advance

Unfortunately broadbandbuyer don't do the SPA-1001 any longer. The price charged by other vendors is, in some cases, TWICE that of the US price and that makes me think, even in rip off UK, that it is over priced. There have been some offerings at decent prices but I didn't jump in fast enough and now they have gone. Anyone know of a good source? I assume that my idea will work: I want to plug...

Is it easy to setup my own domain as a SIP address?

Hello all. Is there such a thing as a dual DECT phone that has two lines each terminating in RJ11 or BT type connectors? I would like to plug one cable in my PAP2 for VOIP and the other in my BT master socket and control which line to use from the phone. I am aware of the Skype Dual Phone but one of the cables is USB to a computer, specifically for computer based applications like Skype and is...

I've been playing with VoIP and Asterisk for the past week or so. Reading the postings here has been very helpful, but I am left with a few questions... Do I understand corretly that it is possible to migrate a landline number to VOIP? What I mean is that when someone dials my current landline number it doesn't go to the landline, but comes in on my VoIP? If so, is the same possible with a...

Usually in the UK, if you call PSTN to PSTN, and you are the one being called, if you hang up, it takes about 10 mins for a far end disconnect... same with all VoIP companies i have used... But not with VoIPTalk it seems. Anyone else noticed this?

I bought the Evening Standard newspaper yesterday which came with a booklet called Really Useful Directory. Voiptalk has an offer in there which i signed up to. You get a free geo number, £2 credit and voicemail. They advertise "no contract, no line rental, no monthly fee" so i can only assume that it's completely free. Sipgate do a free geo number and do not offer support so i can't see how the...

Hi All, Are there tools/plug-in's available to integrate with with Outlook that will allow me to initate a call on my voip handset (I have a Grandstream GXP2000). e.g. I find my phone number in the address book, and then right-click or whatever to start the call. It doesn't need to even integrate with Outlook, even if it was a standalone dialer which could import my phone numbers, that...

I am thinking of signing up to VOIPTALK as my service supplier. Has anybody got any experience (good or bad) of this company? Regards Mike N

Hi, I was thinking about if Skypeout or another phone program can be used together with a terminal program in Windows or in Linux? If so, how to do it? Thanks, Jeppe

Hi lads, I'm helping out a very kind German bloke that is looking into a problem that the AVM Fritz!Box Fon has with some POTS phone lines when provided by cablecos (TW, NTL, etc...). Due to the fact that these companies have seldom "incorporated" some smaller local existing providers, their phone exchanges are very diverse, and then the Fritz!Box has patchy performances when connected to...

Right the Fritz!box is working perfectly voip fixed line etc. I am only using one dect handset on Fon1 , when dialling out I am routed via sipdiscount . However I now have a slight problem that when I am calling out via voip , if someone rings me on my pstn number they dont get a busy tone (obviously because that line is free). Is there any way to get the fritzbox to give a busy tone because...

Hi All, I just got my shiney new Grandstream GXP2000 hooked up and working with voip.co.uk and I have to say that it's such an huge improvement over Skype. I have a question though about port 5060. I'm behind a nat'ed network (Draytek Vigor 2600plus), do I need to forward port 5060 to the internal ip address of the handset? I appear to be able to make and receive incoming calls without...
