My family live in the UK and we have relatives posted in Turkey, the Phillipines, and USA. We all currently use Skype and everyone LOVES it - especially the conference calling. Some of us have purchased SkypeIn numbers to allow relatives to make local calls that come through to us on Skype. We have a DECT phone plugged into a USB adaptor on the PC and we take our Skype calls anywhere in the...

Hello, i have a GRANDSTREAM Budge Tone BT101 and using it with sipgate. Is it possible to have multiple accounts in this phone (e.g. two sipgate accounts or one sipgate and a different provider) ? If not are there other VoIP phones supporting this ? Regards, Martin

At first it was only my spoofed numbers that stopped working with 1899's VoIP service, now not one of my real numbers work either. Anyone else having this problem?

21:06 hrs 028 90 996*** When I call from a BT phone I get a dead line tone. When I call a BT phone it doesn't connect. I can call other SIPGATE users though. Anyone else??

All the publicity that I've seen for the 3000 says it only recognizes Bellcore Type 1 CLI. Most Sipura paperwork including the big manual has a copyright date of 2004 so I wonder if there has been an update to the 3000 that allows it to recognize other Caller ID and in particular the UK BT type. Does any-one know please? Many thanks.

Yup, no sign of it yet... "Al" wrote in message ... Has anyone noticed that uk.telecom.voip is not being archived on Google?: http://makeashorterlink.com/?E3E02451B Does anyone know why? I had expected to throw a blue fit about it by now.

Having looked at a variety of ATAs and coming up with a device that quite does what I want, I've decided to have a go at setting up Asterisk to: 1. Use an IP phone (IP2006) to make outgoing calls via Call1899 2. Use the IP phone to receive calls via a geographic number provided by Sipgate Future requirements:

Anyone else getting no. unobtainable when they call their sipaget number from a POTS phone?

Does anyone know what needs to be put in the CallerIDMethod for the Cisco ATA to output CLID in UK format?

Hello, I jsut download the IP phone software of www.voipfone.co.uk Having a Voipfone Telephone Number, how people can phone me ?? 2) I plan to get a SPA-2000, how can I receive phone calls , from people who have NO IP phone ?? Cheers, Stephane

On my Telewest line I have anonymous caller rejection activated, in the hope of keeping the telesales away. It doesn't work very well nowadays since a lot of telesales calls show "unavailable" (or even "payphone") instead of "withheld". My Sipura SPA-1001 appears to have a similar function (Block ANC) but I can't get it to work. But even if it did work I'm sure that with VoIP a better solution...

I have a Sipgate account, on their 1000 minute plan. This morning, I tried it, and couldn't call my friend on his land-line - "An error has occured - please try again". I tried calling my own mobile - no problems. Then I called an 0800 number - no problems. So I tried my friend again - can't get through, same error message. So, I try several other land-line numbers, and they all give me the...

I need some help with a setup using Sipgate, a Draytek 2600V and a Sipura SPA 2000 please. Apart from Sipgate being a bum choice, I'm struggling with one-way audio with the above set up. I have three Sipgate numbers, one has a fax machine on it and is the only FXS port used on the Draytek 2600v. This works OK using SIP port 5062 (when Sipgate is working !) and the 2nd Draytek FXS port is...

Hello, i want to develop programs which are VoIP based. Does someone know if there are C libraries or better source code for building up a SIP connection ? I think i also need the same for STUN. Are there any open projects for this ? Regards, Martin

Hello, I am following your conversation and try to understand VoIP... :-) 1) If I use VoIPphone provider and a Cisco ATA 186 for instance... How can make a call of somebody, using a another VoIP phone ? a) how to dial a "phone number " ?? 2) honestly, calling somebofy using the same AT186, do I really need a VoIP provider ?
