Hi All, I've just started using my SPA3102, and wasn't impressed with both the sound quality of an incoming PSTN call - I don't know if the person on the other side was using a poor cordless phone (?) - and an outgoing call to a mobile in a diferent country - not the easiest scnearios, I know... Still, I've changed "Jitter buffer adjustment" from "up and down" to "up only" - trying to increase...

I could not find the SPA-400 user manual on the internet, and before buying one I need to check something. On a SPA 3100 (same as SPA 3102 but without a router) you can forward a call from PSTN to VOIP and select a "on-hook while calling VOIP" field in the config menus (this is only in the latests firmware releases). Does someone now if the same can be done on the SPA-400 ? Or if someone...

Hi All, Probably not strictly on topic but I have lost my VOIP lines. :-( The reason is my Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7140 seems to have stopped picking up DHCP from my cable modem (VM, CM ok with PC directly). I tried all the usual (soft reset, power cycle, factory default) but now I can't even get back into it? ;-(

Using VoipCheap Access number in Spain I advised my Uncle to use the 911328008 access number for VoipCheap in Spain and they had a huge bill from Telefonica (landline provider). Anyone know how much Telefonica charge for phoning 911328008 it only costs 1p / minute from the UK using 181815? P.S. How do I post to two newsgroups at once.

Hi All, I've been able to configure my SPA 3102 in a way that if I press #2 (to select gateway 2, for instance) and dial the number, the call goes through; however, if I dial the number directly I get an error message saying the "number is not available. My dial plan is as below (*xx|xx.|x.:@gw2|00x.:@gw2|1x.:@gw0|#1:xx.:@gw1|#2:xx.:@gw2|#3:xx.:@gw3|#0:xx.:@gw0)

Hi I have a linksys wrp200 and I cannot get it to work with voipbuster (or any similar product) I have followed the instruction in freespeech (http://support.freespeech.co.uk/index.php? _m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=77) and change configuration but it just does not register.... PLEASE any help, getting very frustrated!! Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking of buying a VOIP phone I can use on my own WiFi system at home on Skype. The Skype phone seems the cheapest option but I'm not clear if I can "just" use it on my WiFi without also having to "top it up" for the mobile option I don't plan to use. Anyone have any suggestions? TIA

Hi All, I've had no trouble making my VoipCheap account display caller ID on outgoing calls while using a PAP2. Now that I'm using an SPA3102, and my VoipCheap account is on one of the gateways, I can no longer make send my caller ID - apparently it works only for Line 1 :-( Has anyone solved this already?

I have a SPA-3000 whose PSTN interface is connected to an analog PBX extension, and the VOIP interface is SIP registered. I'd like VOIP incoming calls to be answered and connected to the PBX dialtone, so I managed to put something in the dialplan like :SO but it doesn't work. I solved the problem by automatically dialling some dummy digits that do nothing harmless to the PBX, but the goal...

I was considering taking out a mobile broadband service and was looking through the options. T-mobile are advertising their Web'n'Walk service at £15.00/month for 3 GB, but when I dug through a couple of layers of small print, I found the following Quote We do not permit use of this service for internet phone calls/Quote Link http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/uk/fairuse/ This seems like...

Hello, Crikey, just started playing with the Dial Plan for a Snom which is connected to a PBX and requires 9 for external calls. So, I have four bits so far: |(^9{5}$)|sip:\1@\d|d |(^90{9}$)|sip:\1@\d|d

Hi All, Besides keep adding ATAs with 2 Voip ports until covering everyone needed, what's the inteligent solution for this "problem", in a way that each of the employees with Voip access has it's own Voip extension number? Thanks, Jose

Hi Flyer and everyone Couple of long term problems I have with Draytel, do you experience the same? 1, Call always disconnects if put on hold or answered by recorded message. 2. Call divert works very intermittently. All other functions work fine.

Does precum taste like semen?

Is there anywhere in the Fritz!Box Fon (original, non-wireless version) where I can specify DNS servers..? Can't see it anywhere. Ivor

Would any of the ladies here care to describe, as accurately as possible, what (human) semen tastes like please? I've heard some women say that it tastes like green olives, is that a true description?

Gurus, When I put my phone on mute, I get disconnected aftrer 2 min.... Here is the answer I got from voipfone support: "I'm a fraid a call left on mute will eventually disconnect as our system detects no use and drops the line - after 2 minutes I believe. This is a safety feature to prevent dead calls being charged for indefinately" I still believe this behaviour is wrong: If someone is...

"Can't connect to login server" problem with PAP2 connected to Dlink DL624 router attempting to connect to Voiptalk. My networking knowledge is very limited. Have assigned Pap2 a static IP and put that IP in the routers DMZ. Followed the Voiptalk setup about entering user and pass but get the feeling am misssing out entering settngs in main system page.
