Just a 2 or 3 weeks ago we were all complaining about voipbuster and the forthcoming loss of our credit at the end of 180 days........ They've done it again, now the limit is 120 days! I see the limit has also been reduced to 120 days in voipcheap, sipdiscount etc. They really know how to treat their customers eh?

I just tried to call my Sipgate number from a 3 mobile and got "the number you are calling is not compatible with the service you are using" message. However, when the signal falls back to 2.5G (on 02) it works fine. Anyone else seen this? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Fairly new to VOIP using SIP after comming from skype. I had a quick look around and ended up signing up to many voip providers (free), but so far i havent been able to find one which grants me what skype did, which was 2 (or more) DID numbers, 1 in the uk and 1 in the USA, under the same account. I purchased a linksys PAP2, and currently have SIPGATE and SIPPHONE(Gizmo) accounts...

I wish to use an old bt bbv ata for sipgate or similar, but i need to re-flash it for sip service. Anyone help or offer any advice? i like sipgate as they have geo numbers, but open to ideas??

I assume it's ok to use a telephone extension lead with one of these, ie: phone-5m/10m extension-uk adapter knoblet-PAP2 Thanks

As far as I know, when you make a phone call with the computer, using Skype, Voipbuser or another VOIP service, the VOIP application only passes on the sound input of the microphone. Suppose that, under Windows XP, I would want to play a sound file that's on my computer for the person I'm calling. Is this in any way possible -- is there a VOIP-programme that allows for this? Or is it even...

Hi, I found this website http://voip.nildram.net/ and they seems to propose good price for UK Mobile phones !! I've never heard about them... nd to be honest seems to be fairly new - Does anybody already use this service ? good feedback ? - What do you think about this provider ?

I've just become interested in VoIP other than Skype and was amazed by the number of service providers here in the UK. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to go about selecting the best provider? My use is only casual at the moment, but I would want to dial non-VoIP numbers. I would also not want to pay a monthly fee, if I can avoid it. I've signed up initially with voip.co.uk, but am...

Hi, Having trouble making outgoing calls over voip.co.uk on my asterisk setup. The cli gives... asterisk1*CLI -- Executing Macro("SIP/206-c9aa", "dialout-trunk|12|01213332xxx|") in new stack

Help me to understand the working of sip voip in sipxpbx-2.8 with fedora core3. i have installed sipxphone,their working in a private domain is fine but when the domain is moved to public, how do they interact with the control of server and get registered in the server for each call made through the softphone.

hi, at present I'm still on dial-up, but a radio-based broadband is now available in the village. I'm thinking of dumping the bt line (not needed with the ISP) and going the voip route. All the jargon is getting a bit much, could I have some recommendations for what to get. I want the broadband to be wireless and I want to be able to plug the wireless dect phone I have now into the router and...

Hello all.... I'm still having teething problems with voip.co.uk - it's getting rather frustrating! Good news on the voicemail side of things the other weekend - appears to be working well now! However, since the work on the voicemail, I've been unable to make any calls that last any longer than about 45-50 seconds. The line goes dead. I'm able to use the phone again afterwards - however,...

Has anybody managed to get asterisk working reliably with the SIPDiscount inbound number? I have got as far as having an extension = myusername in the inbound context. As a test I have configured this to answer, play the tt-weasels message than hangup. Watching the asterisk console, when I place a call to my inbound number, the call comes into asterisk, runs through the steps, then comes in...
