Trying to work out a method of having something other than an "international" or mobile no. caller ID from voipcheap.com and a few ideas hit me. Firstly I tried sending a verification text to my voipfone free text mobile number..... still waiting for it to come through. Then I thought... Why not send a text to the geo. number on my voip service... chances are it wouldn't take a text,...

has anyone had experience of the fritzbox sync performance on noisy and/or long lines? I am think of buying one but my line is far from ideal, and I don't want something that will only sync at a very slow rate. TIA - Adam

Is it possible to connect two IP phones within the same premises in some way so that both can make and receive calls on the same 'line' or does it require additional equipment such as a mini PABX? The phones are a Linksys SPA-921 and a Siemens C460 IP if that has any bearing on the implementation. --

Hi all Not sure if anyone can help with a problem I have with my 2012. I have a 2012 connected to netgear router, the phone port of the 2012 is presented as an exchange line onto my BT inspiration phone system. The problem I am having is unless I dial slowly from any of the phones on my phone system the call will fail. If I dial slow and precise the call will be successfull. Other than dialing...

Just changed over from sipdiscount to voip.co.uk, all working fine even with my wifi PDA and SJphone :-) Question they say the 3 way calling is possible, How?? there is no instructions, has any one done this and what buttons would I have to press to put 1 call on hold and dial another? then re connect call 1? Many thanks Opeel

I want a link between myself and colleague. We both have ADSL connections with fixed IP addresses. Is there a straightward way of linking two VOIP 'phones (or PCs if not) without needing a service provider? My preference would be to use two VOIP phones.

BT has re-emphasised its call centre strategy in the UK and elsewhere following media coverage of the issue. The company was responding to a campaigning piece in The Mail on Sunday that tried to persuade companies to bring call centres back to the UK. BT's managing director of customer service Duncan Ingram says 32 of BT Retail's 34 contact centres are already in the UK and that £105 million...

Could any kind soul please explain something to a total newbie. I am considering getting the Samsung C460IP DECT VOIP phone. I already have an account with voip.co.uk. I believe that the C460IP can be used with the DHCP server in my ADSL Modem/Router to have an IP address on my local network dynamically allocated. So far so good. Having studied this group for some months I see posts about...

Can anyone advise if there are any companies that will provide a reliable service Landline uk number for use with VOIP? Also am I able to choose a number from a range? I do not have an ATA but intend to use is with a bluetooth dongle and headset arrangement. Yaz

I just got my SPA3102 ATA delivered but unable to connect to the web interface to connect. I have connected it to one of the ports on my Netgear router and although I can ping it I cannot access the web interface to configure? Secondly I notice that the Power light kees flashing constantly when one end of the network cable is inserted into the Ethernet Port and the other into one of the...

I have 3 BT extension sockets, broadband and VOIP GATEWAY 102 which has two RJ11 - one for analog phone and one for PSTN. How can I connect all three analogue telephones to share ATA?

I'm just coming to the end of my first month with Vonage and although service is excellent, I'm only getting half-duplex call connections. In other words, the called party can always hear me, but I can't hear them when I'm speaking. Not sure why. I've just-about everything on their suggestions list he http://www.vonage.co.uk/help.php?article=1046&category=46&nav=4, except that there's no...

Just wondered if anyone has much experience with Jajah. My question is that when roaming in other countries, do you have to re-setting the GPRS settings? Thanks

I am using VoipTalk for my incoming calls only and do not intend to put any money in. It will only receive a few calls now and again. Will it get cancelled at any stage?

Bear with me because I am new at this! Since Skype slapped on their connection charger I have been slowly easing away from them. I have a Linksys Sipura ATA that should be arriving tomorrow and have just signed up with Voip Discount. (No money put in as yet) Looking around my VoipDiscount control panel I can find no mention of a number people can dial in to contact me. Is it that I use...

I am using a softphone (x-lite) as my test extension as I currently only have one ATA and that is in service. I have suceeded in getting outgoing calls to work. However I am having no luck at all with incoming calls. I Googled and found some settings but still no luck. I have set the'...

I have installed v2.0 of Trixbox. I want to be able to program 'Custom Apps'. I have Googled and all I can find is ready written custom apps and that is not what I am looking for. I know nothing about the programming/implementation of 'custom apps' so, what I want to do is learn how to do it so I can set up the Trixbox to do what I want it to do. Can anyone point me to a source that will explain...
