hi, there, Have now updated to latest firmware and it now seems more stable, still trying to get two sip providers working though! I want to make calls via vopicheap.com because they offer free calls to uk and loads of other destinations I want to receive call from voipcheap.co.uk because they gave a free in-coming voip number!

According to a post on DigitalSpy, Sipgate should be offering 999 access shortly. -- 60 day free DVD rental: www.southeastbirmingham.co.uk/dvd Mobile Offers: www.southeastbirmingham.co.uk/mob http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/signage

A work colleague has signed up for an account with voip.co.uk and she has been issued with a Walsall number in the format of 01922 66xxxx. She has set up her account with a Linksys SPA2102 and she can make outgoing calls without a problem, incoming calls is another story. Calls from a BT landline connect without fail. Calls from a Virginmedia landline & Vodafone mobile both fail. When I try...

Vonage UK Customer Service How Do You Find It? I find the staff of that company Rude Inflexible and abrupt thats the Americans normally the Indian Call Centre Staff are OK they have a Bogus Vonage Forum but its an advertising website they censor nearly everything. Heidy -- www.swing4ireland.com

I'm going to the USA for a period soon and will be staying in wi-fi-enabled (ie, free) homes. Will be taking a laptop with me. It's just occurred to me that buying a Skype (or other VOIP?) phone would be a good idea, to keep down my costs of calling within the USA and home to the UK. Dos this sound a Good Plan? Don't know a whole lot about voip but from what I've read to date I can't find...

All, Anybody got any experience of the reliability or otherwise of ADSL2 LLU (specifically a Be Pro connection guesstimated at around 14Mbit) for running Gradwell numbers to an Asterisk server? We've been having success over an NTL/VM cable, but are about to move offices - and the question is ADSLMax or ADSL2. Ta!

Any constructive comments on this provider? Thanks

Fwiw I have been a user of VOIP for about three years and I summarise my experiences so far as follows: BT/BBV - I used this a lot first on a Cisco ATA 186 then on BT Voyager 10v. The call quality and connectivity has always been excellent but dealing with BT is a pain. This was made worse when they 'upgraded' me from an 055 No. to an 056 No. (which introduced limited connectivity from a number...

Apple iPhone offers 8 hour talk time and a few new features http://mobilephone-guide.blogspot.com/2007/06/apple-iphone-offers-8-hour-talk-time.html

Colleage has one geographic number and wants an interactive menu service for callers (EG press 1 for sales, 2 for accounts...). Is there a way to interface an Asterisk unit, or Asterisk@Home, between the phone line and a Grandstream unit and forward the calls over something like an interal LAN?

hi there, Got most of the settings now working and also done a firmware upgrade, now get a uk type rining tone after dialing, but If I dial the number to which the ata is attached I get hear a USA type ringing tone, what do I have to change to make it uk? Bob

Hi, I am looking for a voip service with Portuguese and UK numbers any idea? PA

Is anybody else unable to make international calls at the moment with Voipstunt? I first noticed the problem yesterday, but I am still experiencing this today. I've tried calling numbers (which normally work fine) in Sweden and France to no avail, but the numbers ring OK when I use my BT landline. UK calls seem to be unaffected. Rob

We've got one of these in my place of work running 2 5207 (might be 5027) IP phones. We had a power cut yesterday and the system has not recovered. There are 3 alarm lights on the controller: minor, major and critical and they are all blinking red. The displays on the handsets is stuck on "DHCP: Discovery" These are not supported by IT anymore as they are no longer used for incoming or...
