Anyone ordered from these http://www.justdialvoip.com/pages/home.asp The service was set up great but the phone adapter has not arrived. I have sent 4 emails and rang CS 2 times. Each time I was on hold for 42 and 47 minutes before I gave up Anyone else had these problems?

Can I have a USA number forwarded to me via Sipgate like the FWD/IPKall system ? Cheers JS

Hi all, I was using Sipgate to call a friend in the USA on Froday night. It was working fine but the call was cut off repeatedly every minute or so giving me an engaged type tone. Any ideas what could be the problem? Another issue I've never resolved is that Voipbuster works fine via the application but when I use my ATA I always get cut off after 1 minute for having no credit. I have credit on...

In article , says... I have voipbuster which works well enough and 1899 which also works well enough. However after reading the Economist article and the very important comments of the poster, I am concerned that I should sign up to Skype just to be in on the ground floor. Has anyone else any views on doing just this? ...

My sipgate report Continuous usage over this week, even through the wee hours of Friday night Saturday morning Quality is good, a few random authentication retries required, but no more than voipfone had, maybe they are hosted in the same location I would say they are no worse than anyone else

Not changed anything and my settings still all look fine but can't place outgoing calls. Been getting "SIP/2.0 403 Forbidden" all morning. Is it working for other people? Joe

Hi, I can't seem to find a good forum in Dutch on this so i try here (if you don't mind ;-) I installed voipbuster today on my PC and did some testing with a normal headset. Everything works fine as far as i can see now. I did these tests because I want my children to use it and get my phonebills a little lower ;-(

I'm new to all of this so go easy one me :-) A couple of questions: Are there any cheap wireless (WiFi) phones available? If so, would I be able to use one of these with, say, VoipBuster to make *free* calls to UK landline numbers or does it require some sort of subscription?

Is anyone else having problems with Voipfone at the moment (11.05 am)?. Just getting an engaged tone when I try to make a call. Ian

Does anyone have a copy of the image file of the English firmware for the FRITZ!box fon ATA. There's an empty folder on the AVM website where you'd expect it to be! Alternatively, does anyone volunteer to translate my config screens from German to English ... ;-) P.

Tried to sign up with sipgate. The only uk number I can get is an 0845 number, searched their web site, but I can't find any options to change this number to an 01 or 02 UK number. Is their web site behind the times, or am I missing something? Thanks John D

It is worse than being with a load of school kids, grow up people, act your age. Who gives a crap who is involved with what company. I been in a lot of newsgroups, with some very childish people, but I think I really got the worse ones in here. Now for goodness sake get back to what this newsgroup is suppose to be about.

Hi all, I've just started using Skype to VOIP from Brussels to UK. I'm using a supposedly 6Mb cable DSL service and my wife is on a 2Mb broadband product at home. Problem is, it's so laggy as to be virtually unusable. Half an hour using this is 20 mins of "Hello" "Hello" click. How can I make this work better or is that par for the course with VOIP?

Hi, I'm trying to configure my Sipura2100 to use VoipBuster - It doesnt seem to work although the software is fine. I set stun server to stun.voipbuster.com and resgistrar to sip.voipbuster.com (tried also voipbuster.com and stun.voipbuster.com) with my login credentials - no go - Also how do I go about having a different incoming supplier on this device? do I need the latest firmware?.

Ok, it's a joke. I was kinda happy when started using it.... But i now want my account closed..... And they are not responding to e-mails and i've been on hold a while trying to ring them...... ! Sure they are a joke.... SCAM!
