Hi, Which is the biggest VOIP company? Which of the VOIP companies has VOIP as their main business? I'm interested for possibly future investments. Thanks SW

Sipgate once again (as of 21:05 on 13th May) seems to be dead to the outside world. Internal (sipgate to sipgate) calls still work, but nothing in from or out to the wider PSTN. Guys - you _really_ need to get a grip on this - it's just not good enough for a service that's being sold to the general public - people need a phone service they can rely on. And you'll find the statement "No Refund!...

Anybody knows a VOIP provider in Houston, TX * where I can apply for a (free) number in the (713) area ? * from where I suppose I can call Houston numbers for free (AFAIK local calls in the US are free ??) Thanks Philippe

For those interested in the NETGEAR TA612V presently being offered by Sipgate............... Mine arrived today and took about one hour to get going. This device is not recommended for use behind a router but it can be done. I have a DG834G router. I set the 612v with a WAN address in the range of the 834G and pointed all the relevant ports to this IP. Firstly I was confused to see there...

I've googled for this, but I haven't found exactly what I want to know, so I apologise if it is out there. I am using snom's softphone together with 1899 VOIP, and I have found it does pretty well everything that I want. In particular I like to be able to choose which of my registered numbers to send as the outgoing CLI (i.e. home line, business line or mobile, depending where I would like the...

Sorry I am a novice when it comes to VOIP. I have set up 1899 with the client downloaded from thier website and it works great. I was wondering if there is a VOIP phone I could plug into my router/phone line to make calls via 1899 and recieve call normaly via BT, is there such a device. I would like the phone to be cordless if possible.

I have connected a 2nd phone to the phone 2 socket, expecting it to be a parallel of phone 1, its dead. Is there a config setting to enable phone2 to operate. I am on Bt BroadbandVoice

"Al" wrote in message ... My broadband uplink speed is only 64kb. I presume this is the main reason for the fact that people I call using X-Lite softphone tell me they have problems hearing me (even though I can hear them crystal clear). Is it worth my playing with the codecs to try to improve the situation and is there...

I am wondering if a number starting with 0844 is a number for which people they need to pay a special rate. Thank you -- http://www.vocesuip.com Forum sul VoIP - Appena Nato - (in Italiano) Aiutateci a fare crescere questo Forum

Sipgate Voicemail down again. I suppose you get what you pay for. DF

I have received instructions from Grandstream on how to upgrade the ATA486 which I bought from Sipgate and I wonder if some-one can help me understand how to do the upgrade. I don't want to appear too much of a nurd or Luddite to Grandstream so I'm hoping some-one can help me here. Grandstream have sent me the update files for version 1.0.5.23 which they instruct me to put in the root...

Hi LOL @ no need for this newsgroup - it looks plenty busy to me! cheers Roy

"Mark" wrote in message ... Any opinions on the Sipura SPA3000 or Grandstream Handytone ATA-488? Ease of use etc. Hi, I like the SIPURA 3000, but I cannot say that it is easy to use, but for sure you have a lot of option. check this link http://www.geekgazette.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=0,

Is there a way to call Norway for free, i see most providers let you call USA and some European for free but have not found Norway yet. Thanks for any help. gav

In message , Robert writes hi all, what's the cheapst VoIP provider for calling EU, USA, and CHina with a monthly flat rate? The question is probably best taken to uk.telecom.voip. You could look at BroadVoice (either Unlimited World or Unlimited World Plus depending on which countries you need).
