I am trying to access Sipbroker peers from my Orbtalk account using the **473 prefix as detailed in Orbtalks User Guide. All times a sweet lady tells me the number is not recognised (for example the Sipbroker test number **473*011188888). Similar calls via Voipfone on the same Grandstream work perfectly. I would appreciate any help and settings from Orbtalk users who have theirs working. Thanks....

I have recently started trying out Sipgate, with a view to eventually getting using a cable broadband connection and getting rid of my landline, as it is not really used enough to justify the line rental. However, I cannot just use a mobile as I need to have a local phone number for incoming calls. I have been trying out Sipgate, initially using Ekiga softphone (under Linux) and a Doro 2121PC...

Ok, I know these were mentioned recently.... so here goes.... Has anyone had any joy making one of these pieces of cr*p usable? Ours came free with a Gradwell account (well not free, we had to pay P+P had no option to refuse it) and definitely isn't worth what we paid for it. Luckily I'd already ordered a Linksys. I was going to stick it on ebay but thought I'd check it out first and it's lucky...

Morning Looking for a device to attach to my Internet connection (via switch) network that will allow me to dial out via VOIP or by an ordinary BT line (POTS?) Any names or suggestions appreciated (don't wish to be tied to one supplier) Regards

This is my situation: in the company where i work, thanks to this newsgroup, i demonstrated that the VoIP is the only way we have to save enough money on the telephone system (so with those money we can hire 2 more people); however they want to reject my idea 'couse they say it's too complicated. Here is what we may need: Receiving telephone calls: - One 800 number (free number);

Has anyone here tried to hook up a PAP2 outside its geographical area of operation, i.e. other country, and worked? Just a way of avoiding huge overseas toll expense. Any ideas welcome. Thanks

Does anyone have any stats on how much money they have saved by installing skype for a small or medium sized companies? There was an article in the guardian http://observer.guardian.co.uk/cash/story/0,,2062580,00.html which stated that a home user had saved 60% - "We are probably making a 60 per cent saving on total phone bills,' This is a substantial saving and i am interested in knowing if...

Hi, very quick question: I've got 2 SPA (941 and 3000) If you dial an activation code (e.g *90 or *78...) When you pick up the phone, you can hear a different dial tone (saying that you select a specific activation ?

Is anyone in the "know" as to getting one of the above units to connect to the internet after updating them to "Open Firmware" from the Sipgate website? I have two of there routers and both cannot connect to the outside world, though connecting to the HTML interface is fine.

Hi, I've got a Modem Router, which supports QoS service I gave high priority to my SIP protocol.... But I still have some troubles, when I am on the phone and I am sending an email (for instance) I have the same problem at work, where I am using a Netgear FVX538.

Hopefully someone might be able to assist with finding my ring tone. Setup is Flexor 151 ATA to which is linked both voip and landline to same phone and until couple of days ago all worked well. Now although I can see incoming call via light on voip panel on ATA there is no ring tone on phone. Cant be phone problem as it will ring out on landline number. I have checked this out via mobile call...

Some new games are now adding VoIP features that use port 5060 (as they are integrated sip clients). I am hearing that BT now fully filters that port both at the CPE and Server side of things. Has anyone else seen this?.. No port 5060 traffic is able to make it out thus killing all port 5060 providers (your stuck with BT)... Just looking for a bit of rough guidance as I am not sure where/what...

Hypothetical question: If a Skype user (no Skypein, so no caller ID) is using Skypeout to make nuisance phone calls to, say, a BT landline, can that user be traced by e.g. the police? Not that I'm considering becoming a heavy breather or anything; just wondering... -- Abo

hello everyone, After I make a search, I could only find the http://www.dslreports.com/faq/voip is a small useful FAQ, but too many things are not included. So I want to setup one. Is there any body know where should I start? is there any basic?

Hi We have a number of devices in the field (Speedtouch 780, Camrivox, Zoom ATA, Sipura ATA, FritzBox). We have the occasional issue with CallerID, where it isn't passed through to the connected phone when calls come in on the PSTN port. The same device and phone may work on another telephone line, but on certain lines it doesnt work. Bypassing the intermediary device fixes it. We're stumped as...
