VoIP Buster state that calls to USA landlines are free, yet calls to USA mobiles are 1.1 (Euro) cents per minute. Is this really the case that they charge for mobile calls, and how would they work out which are mobile or not?

Just had a missed call on Sipgate (well I was in the loo, I don't have a phone in there, even I'm not that sad..!) from a rather strange number. It was shown as 00668860 - anyone any ideas on where it could have originated..? No voicemail message was left and I'm not about to try and call it back..! Ivor

has anyone succesfully used the ATA186 with voicebuster? SIP paramaters, setup? thankx.

Hello all question anyone know of some FOIP software that will strictly send faxes or even receive them as well. we are looking to intergrate this for a customer. any ideas would be great -- Thank-You Respectfully Dan www.airstarcommunications.com msn: Air Star Communications.

I currently use Sipgate with a softphone (SJPhone - which seems to be MUCH better than x-lite) and a standard £20 headset. The quality seems to be pretty good. After using the service for a while (but not so keen on the reliability - see below post !) I quite fancy the idea of going one step further and moving away from the PC headset. Whats the quality of an ATA or IP phone (ie Budgetone...

Hiya, I've only just started to play around with VOIP, and - in particular - asterisk on a Debian box I've got at home. So far, almost everything is working just fine with it as far as I can see - including being able to make phonecalls over it to freephone numbers in US and UK. The problem I have is with the device to use it with. Because I am only just getting started, I'm loathe to spend any...

Hi, Just installed skype and have made a test call to their answerphone ok, which plays back a message that I left. The problem comes when calling someone on a normal phone (haven't tried skype to skype as no one I know has it). I can hear the other person clear as a bell, but they can't hear me. I am using a Logitech webcam as my mic, and normal pc speakers as my

Here's my dilemma. I have broadband and telephone supplied NTL cable. The phone socket is at one end of the house with no power point anywhere near - though I do have a phone socket and 240v in the kitchen for the base. I run a 4 set cordless setup for phones around the house which means I can have a phone next to the computer (no phone socket) on which I run SKYPE. My main household Pc is at...

At long last, uk.telecom.voip has now been added to the NTL newsgroups

Ideally something that can run on my laptop/pc as a small NT service. Failing that, a cheap service provider that can provide the VOIP PBX. I've checked out gradwell and telappliant and they want £20 a month.

Has anyone set up a Zoom X5V with DrayTel? Alternatively, if I sign up to the Global Village package that comes with the Zoom X5v router/adsl/Voip box, how can I dial a Draytel user from the Zoom box?

Just a thought: is there a Fax Over IP offerring - so I can fax Auntie Mabel in Oz? Ben

I've seen ATAs that provide a PSTN pass-through if the power fails, but is there an ATA that can be set to default to the PSTN line and only use the VoIP service having dialled a prefix? -- Phil http://www.philipchung.co.uk/

As I am completely new to voip I wonder if anyone can give me any guide to answering machine facilities available with the service. JPG

Hello, Very quick questions : (may be some of you guys, can answer me..) I wish to make some RJ11 cable by myself. (I would need 2 extensions of 20 meters for my future ATA ! .. (as I do it with RJ45 cables) I did look on a schematic for the RJ11 on the web and I am surprised to see an RJ11/RJ14 with 6 cables!?! (I thought it was 4 !?

I just downloaded the latest firmware (v3.1.3) from the Sipura website but on entering the IP address of my SPA2000 it fails with the message "No response from SPA" indicating it can't find it. However it is switched on, running and working, and yes I have entered the IP address correctly. Anyone else tried this and succeeded or got the same result..? Ivor
