I would like to call a person with a voip USB phone. They usually use skype with windows. I have a standard phone connected to a sipura ATA which is connected to my router. I use this to call people who have no voip capabilities using the end termination services provided by www.gafachi.com. I can't see to find a guide on how to do this. Thanks.

Hello, i just trying out sipdiscount.com in the following environment: Germany (Fritz!Box WLAN 7050) - sipdiscount.com - back to Germany (normal phone line, no VoIP, no special number). I use connectionserver.sipdiscount.com as Registrar and also for Proxy-Server.

I am using a Sipura 2100 with Voipfone, and most of the time everything works very well. However, on coming into the office on three mornings just lately, I found that there was no dial tone, and the Sipura had apparently locked up. I had to power it down and up again to restore normal operation. The ATA has never failed during the day, and I am wondering if it is something that Voipfone is...

I read about it on several blogs but never tried, how good is it? are there similar prg for non-nokia?

Hi, Are there any mobiles (or PDA or other such device with mobile functionality) that have Wi-Fi and the ability to run a SIP client for VOIP? Cheers.

I have an SPA-3000 set up with a DECT base-station in the FXS port and configured for a Sipgate account. Trouble is although there are two DECT handsets I can never actually make or receive telephone calls because both handsets are always randomly hidden around the house - usually under a pile of teenage junk in kids bedrooms. Is there any way I can add two extra lines for kids exclusive use so...

Fancy getting one of these: http://www.provu.co.uk/utstar_f1000.html Recommendations for & against, please.

Okay, here is the situation... I live in the UK and have setup an asterisk@home server at home. I am currently in New Zealand visiting family, but have brought my Linksys PAP2 + a DECT phone and my laptop with me. I am trying, without much success, to get the PAP2 to connect to my asterisk box at home so I can receive calls from my BT line here (and make them if I wish)

I am looking for a unit that I can link to my computer / broadband connection that is capable of being used for Skype as well as FWD (SIP). I would like SIP functionality in an always on manner and Skype as and when I need to use it? Is there such a thing? Sidk

My ISP will soon start offering some Voip service. I want to try that of course. My ADSL modem/router has no possibility to connect a phone, and I prefer not to buy another modem. I know that there are devices to which I can connect a POTS phone, and connect that device to my ADSL router by ethernet. But until now, I am not able to find them. Can anybody help?

Hiya, Anyone has working setting for babble and asterisk@home? I do not know what am I doing wrong, it seems to be simple config, but I cannot make it working. Logfile doesn't tell me much... help! cheers,

I have been using sipgate for a few months now, haven't had many problems. I decided to give sipdiscount a go and take advantage of the free UK calls, but I have been unable to get the test account to work: User Name: test Password: test Domain/Realm: sipdiscount.com SIP Proxy/registrar: sip1.sipdiscount.com SIP Outbound Proxy (optional): sip1.sipdiscount.com STUN server (optional):...

Hi, I have a couple of questions about VoipCheap. They are in the following areas: - Geographic Incoming Numbers - VoipCheap Softphone Geographic Incoming Numbers

I can't get the VOIPCheap software to create a new user for me. It says I must have a firewall in the way but I have the required exception in my firewall settings. Anyone else having trouble? -- Brian Gregory. (In the UK)

DrayTel (not draytek, but loosely linked) have relaunched their voip service. It seemed naff before, and I signed up for sipgate, but now it seems very competitive. It has the same pricing structure as sipgate, but if you buy £20 credit you get put on the 'silver' tariff and then its cheaper than sipgate (1p/min landlines in uk, australia, usa etc, 10/8/5p uk mobiles). The features seem...

Don't have one I can try this on, so could someone supply the answer please? If you have a SIP-based service from a remote Asterisk server, and set Call Forward, Always to a mobile (say). Where does the 'forward' take place? Are you sending instructions back to the server, which then does the divert at that end until told otherwise, or does the call actually come into the phone, and back out...

Hello All, Any help appreciated. I recently subscribed to plustalk (my ISPs VoIP offering) on a 30-day basis to see what it's like and I'm having a few set up troubles. My ISP is only prepared to support the use of X-Lite which is a softphone, however my router has 2 built-on VoIP ports, to which I have connected a standard landline phone via an adapter.

I can not get the bloody thing setup. Have been through all the sipgate pages, but can't get the settings right. Getting annoyed?? Any ideas?

How do you make a true IP-call from an RT31P2 to an RT31P2 ? (the innards are more or less like as Sipura 2100) ? If both are registered with a provider, is there any way to by-pass the provider without too much fiddling with the set-up, so as to make a direct IP-adress:port - IP-adress:port call ? If so, what settings do you neet to set ? Are "Make call wihout reg" and "Ans call without reg"...

Hi, I wonder if what I want to do is possible - I'm guessing that either asterix or particular phones may be able to help. I want my application to initiate a call from a particular phone. What I'd like is, say, my app to send number to phone (where it could be displayed on an LCD display) and the call initiated when the user picks up the handset (or perhaps triggers by pressing a...
