Hi,all I'm now using linksys3100 ATA,however to get VOIP function, can use ATA with Asterisk or Asterisk PCI card; and I never try Digium Card. Could some give ideas on how to select from these two? Thanks.

I'm using an SPA3102 in conjunction with a GSM premicell. When dialling out over the mobile network, although I can hear the caller perfectly well, they experience clipping of the audio at their end. If a POTS phone is plugged into the premicell, no clipping occurs. If the SPA is powered off, no clipping occurs. I have tweaked & tweaked. Has anyone got any specific "must have" settings for...

If I dial the PSTN number assigned to a VOIP phone from another VOIP phone does it know it is IP to IP or would it treat it as a land line call? Or do you need to set up the call differently? -- Regards Dave Saville NB Remove -nospam for good email address

Hi, I have tons of landlines managed by Company 'A', who have 'taken them over' from BT and do Carrier Preselect etc. for us. I want to port one number to a VoIP provider - Company 'B'. B has sent me a form to authorise the porting - the form requires the BT account number for the line - which it doesn't have as far as *we* are concerned.

Excuse my ignorance of things broadband. I have signed up for Vonage voip service, and wondered if someone could advise what additional hardware I need... My broadband connection is provided by Namesco. They sent me a ZyXEL 660-RC ADSL Single port ethernet router, plus 2 ADSL microfilters. The router has one telephone cable socket and one ethernet cable socket.

Hi All, I have Draytek vg2910 dual WAN router with 2 ADSL accounts active. I would like to force all VOIP traffic over the "backup" ADSL service and everything else over the primary service. The router allows for port or ports and Protocol(TCP, UDP, TCP/UDP, ICMP, IGMP) to be forced to either WAN1 or WAN2. Can anyone tell me which ports/protocols I would need to force Accounts to register...

Zen are now offering residential VOIP, if it's anything like their broadband service it should be very very reliable. http://www.zen.co.uk/Voice/Broadband-Voice.aspx

Hello My voip phone can no longer register with voipfone. Even the website is unavailable http://www.voipfone.co.uk]. Is anyone else having problems? Thanks L

Hello all, We will be changing offices over the next month or two. Our current phone gear is leased from the owners and won't be coming with us. It's ISDN using Avaya kit; we use 10 lines on there. We were thinking about a move to VoIP. Is this feasible for a business with a measily 10 lines or so, or is the business world not quite ready for that? I accept there'd be a risk of broadband...

Hello all, I am trying, unsuccessfully, to get asterisk to send a hook flash to the pstn line. I'm using a wildcard x100p clone for the PSTN interface. Essentially, what I need to accomplish is this: 1. Answer inbound PSTN call (which is actually a doorphone) from any

What are (or have so far been) your 4 - 6 personal favorite (G or R rated) music related or non music related, ringtones you've had (on previous mobile phones you've used) or use on your current mobile phone ? If there's a (serious or humorous) reason that made you take up a certain ringtone, please elaborate.

Ok I have read it but don't understand how to do it! I want to be able to dial my SPA 3102 and after it starts to ring for me to be able to press a key combination on the phone I am using to make it dial back out so I can call an international number that I enter on the phone I am using to ring in. If that makes sense!

Can anyone tell me how and what with I can log the "SIP messages" to and from a PAP2. I have tried "slogsrv" and it works well but I think the information is not complete and I need a more detailed log of the SIP messages. Thanks for any help.

Hi All, I am trying to get the call waiting feature to work on my PAP2. I have modified the Regional settings to UK ones which are listed here http://www.provu.co.uk/pdf/sipura/sipura_uk_regional_settings.pdf Using the above settings I do get beeps and CID of the waiting call. However, if i press R on my phone it doesnt changeover to the waiting call. I just get a brief tone something like a...

The handset serving by my Sipgate line rings a couple of times now and again - but there's no actual incoming call it seems, as nothing is recorded under 'missed calls' on the website (the phone hasn't got caller display unfortunately). What might be the reason for this random ringing? Using Linksys ATA. -- Paul Clarke

Anyone got their hardware-based Vonage account to work with N95 - the ones with unlimited minutes? Many thanks -- AntiSpamBloke 'From' address is a spamtrap. Direct email: asb-at-emailssl.com.

Anyone know if it's possible to access a phone plugged into an Orange Livebox by SIP address..? Assuming it uses SIP of course, or is it one of those proprietorial things like Skype..? A friend has just got one of these things and it comes with an 0845 number (spit) so would prefer to avoid charges for said number if at all possible..! Ivor
