Interesting project but what a lot of trouble to connect to the great god Skype. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8592 Remove 'no_spam_' from email address.

I'm looking for a fax to email service, and possibly an email to fax service too. Something like: Geographic UK or US number (it's all international so maybe US is better) Preferably receive as PDF not TIFF Outbound costs approaching those of VOIP/dialthroughs (rather than BT's silly rates as many seem to) Actually works (I never got fax modems to work, there was always a problem) Any...

Hi Does anyone have a pointer to a forum for ip video conferencing. We are looking to have some of our meetings that would normally take place by several members of staff travelling to another office 150 miles away, stay over, etc and move these regular meetings to a vide based conference over our existing wan. Both locations already have dedicated meeting rooms with over head projectors...

Hi Guys, Two things I learnt today: 1) voip.co.uk's 'withhold CLID' is broken and will not be fixed until the next release of their code sometime in December - so if you *think* you are withholding your CID you'd better check! 2) If I set a legitimate (ie: on our 'allowed list' at voip.co.uk) outbound CID against our SIP extensions, it doesn't seem to be passed on

Is anyone here using the Delta-Three service? I'd like to learn a bit about the experience of people who are using it, or have used it recently, before I jump into it.

Hallo , I use a linksys spa3000 for a while now without any problems, but since a couple of days it is impossible for me to make contact with this ATA with microsoft's web-browser(192.168.1.103) All funtions of spa3000 are working fine. I use this spa3000 in combination with a Linksys WRT54G and it is no problem at all to come in this router. Can anyone show me the way to solve this problem. grtz

Which VoIP provider has the cheapest tariff and supports SIP? I want to make cheap calls at any time of any day. I use a Safecom SDSIP-3000 phone behind a Netgear DG834v2 ADSL router firewall with NAT and SPI. I've got an account with SIPGate, but they're only cheaper than TalkTalk during the weekday daytime. No use after dark or on weekends. I've got a VoIPCheap account too, but they don't...

I've got my free number with area code 1322 from www.skypho.net, does anybody know where in the UK is this area code mapped? Thanks, Pasquale

Can I just use a modem cable instead which plugs straight into my phone or would I need an adaptor ?

Hi, Has anybody got BT Broadband Voice working using the BT Voyager 10V adapter, and a Netgear DG834G wirless modem/router? I've lost my installation instructions, so I'm not sure how to cable them up. I'll persevere if I know it can be done, but maybe these two bits of kit can't work together? Thanks,

Hi, Is there a way to program in a lookup table in Asterisk/Trixbox to match names to numbers? My DECT phones I have connected to my Trixbox, via ATA's display names and numbers, via caller ID (If I call from one DECT phone to the other (through Trixbox) the name of the extension is displayed, so it is getting this via the caller ID)

BT today announced it has made a recommended cash offer for PlusNet, offering 210p per share, valuing the company at approximately £67m. The offer for PlusNet fits perfectly with BT's strategy of providing its customers with the most that broadband can deliver. Broadband is increasingly becoming more than just fast internet access and PlusNet has a strong reputation for both customer service...

If you have easyMobile bonus credit left, which you will lose unless you use it up, you can use it up by topping up your VoIPCheap, VoIPStunt, VoIPBuster, SipDiscount etc accounts, each £5 top up gives you €4.50 (4.5 Euro) credit and 60 days of free days. Make two £5 top ups and that's €9 and 120 days. -- Items for sale: www.dodgy-dealer.co.uk

Builders have pulled out the extension line cable, digital side ok. Its a two wire sys, connection points, marked 2,3,4,5 any one know which ones to use, as I'm running out of permutations. (Box is not the same as Std BT type, also its not the main ISDN box, but the one that 'feeds' it) TY

Does anyone know if I go for the BT Total Broadband package,( I don't need the hub as I already have my own set up using router/modem+voip adaptor) Can I set up my voip adapter using the voip phone number I am given by BT, not sure if they supply sip ids etc. thanks

Ofcom today announced plans to improve number portability processes which allow consumers to keep their telephone number when they switch provider. In the absence of number portability consumers may be reluctant to switch provider as they would suffer the inconvenience and possible expense of having to change their telephone number. Ofcom is proposing that the port lead time – the period...
