My first question is - is it locked to Vonage or can I use it for other providers also? Second question: Who does the Motorola VT2442 belong to and will I be able to keep it if I decide to terminate Vonage...

Do these provide the same service? Also, if you have one of these VOIP phone adapters, where can you get an SIP phone number? Anyone use SIPPhone.com?

Hopefully someone will be able to help me with this dialling plan query... I want to prefix all UK calls with 141 (to withold the voip number, to save confusing my parents with another number!), my provider only requires the area code for calls, not the international format, and I want to be able to dial local numbers without having to put the 01933 area code in first - hence I have the...

Hi anyone help me on this one, I thought I had my system sorted, as it was working for some time Anyway, now I am finding my Voipfone drops the registration after a few hours, If some one calls it gets routed via PSTN fall back and If I dial outwards I get one way audio (No Inbound) If I do a reset or chnage a parameter in trixbox so it re-reads teh confiig

As Freetalk are moving over to Vonage, and pretty soon the Freetalk box will be as good as a door stop, can it be unlocked to use with any other Sip provider, e.g. Sipgate? If so, anyone like to advise me how to do it? ta muchly ;)

I bought a SPA-3000, setup line1 with voipstunt, connected a Philips cordless phone to the phone port, linked the line port to BT socket. When I call my BT number, the phone doesn't ring. I used the spa-3000 monitor software found on the net and it showed line1 is registered, PSTN not registered, voltage 51V.

I've recently been browsing ebay looking for these devices, with a vague idea of finding something that'll do for GSM calls what the SPA3000 does for PSTN calls, ie integrate as a trunk on a PBX (specifically Aterisk - Trixbox) for inward and outbound calls. After some digging around, it seems that, like ATAs, there is quite a lot of difference in what these devices can and can't do.......

Just noticed today, when ringing a landline number the calls from my Voipcheap service are now being charged at 1p/min, the call rates on the voipcheap website have also been ammended to show the new call rates, looks like the 120 day limit on the credit has gone now as well as the free calls. oh well that was good while it lasted i suppose.

I have a standalone SNOM 300 (i.e. no Asterisk in the background). I want to set up an entry in the address book to dial a number, pause until that number replies, then dial a second number. Can I do this in SNOM? I have tried separating the two numbers in the address book entry with commas (just like we used to with modems!), but that doesn't work. Also, SNOM says FORBIDDEN if the address...

I've just upgraded my AVM Fritz!Box Fon (non-wireless version) to the latest firmware (06.04.17) and ever since the LED that indicates a VoIP call is in progress is blinking on and off. Not a steady flash, but rather irregular; sometimes it will come on for a second or two then go off for the same period of time, then it might come on for 5 seconds then off for 3, there seems to be no...

I'm interested in an ATA with two internal extension ports and one (analogue) PSTN connection. I'd like one of the internal ports always to default to the PSTN line, but allow routing via at least one SIP provider given some particular key sequence prefix (e.g. #001*, or whatever). The other should default to one of the SIP providers, but allow routing via either PSTN or any of the other SIP...

I've just noticed that voipcheap.co.uk has begun charging 1p per minute for calls to UK landlines (was 'free' until a few days ago and nobody warned me). You clearly need to check the rates firms like this are charging every day - before making calls - as otherwise they can hike up the price and you don't realise they are not so 'cheap' any more, until it's too late! Voipcheap.com is still...

I can use the spa3000 divert all calls feature to divert to one extension on the spa9000 pbx e.g. 100, but I want all 4 extns to ring. The incoming VOIP calls can do that using spa9000 Contact List = 100-103. Is it possible? --- External Post from http://ukvoiptalk.com

Hi I am actively pursuing swapping our home phone service to voip. I have had a look around and found voip.co.uk seem to be offering a reasonable price with a decent level of service. One major confusion is my telephone number. Is it possible to retain my present BT number and use voip. I am finding the answers rather confusing. You see, I am using that number for my ADSL line from BT and cannot...

Hi All, I know VOIP can be a bit confusing sometimes. I'm not a complete VOIP genius myself, but I'm trying to learn something out of it.
