Someone can change DNS servers if that person desires. Typically, it's not required, especially if someone is being assigned LAN IP and DNS settings (dynamically) via a router, which is what most people do.
However, you're dealing with a locked Basictalk ATA--and
not an unlocked HT-701; and I'm uncertain how the locked Basictalk ATA behaves while locked since I don't own one.
The instructions indicate if you reset your ATA, the ATA becomes locked again. And you do mention the word, reset, in your original post. So what's less clear to me is at what point in your original description you're dealing with a locked ATA (and frankly, whether you know). Again, I suggest posting in the dslreports thread instead where they're all unlocking this ATA.
I don’t seek help in unlocking my ATA here.
I suggest that's what you should be pursuing since your DNS questions are related to using a locked/temporarily unlocked ATA
and since your ATA is not permanently unlocked yet. Conversely, your Proxy Server question at the bottom of your original post is related to using FPL.
Do you people have DNS servers settings filled in or not?
Some do, in particular if they don't trust their ISP's DNS servers for whatever reason (ex. reliability). Most don't (typically, ISP dynamically assigned DNS servers work fine). Consequently, the guide you're referring to doesn't mention changing DNS servers (since it's usually not required). And most of us are not using a locked ATA--so it doesn't matter.
This is what I think happening: ATA was registered wit FPL with DNS servers settings (167.88.118.111) in place, so now, if this settings removed, FPL doesn’t recognize my ATA and doesn’t want to register.

"The way the "easy" procedure works, is that your ATA's DNS is pointing at a server that I own, which has a DNS zone for vonage.net and the host httpconfig.vonage.net points to the same server which also hosts a web server that will serve the configuration file which resets the settings.
Once the configuration file is served, the DNS servers are replaced with some public ones (Google's public DNS servers and the OpenDNS servers).'
and
"If you do a factory reset you must unlock the ATA again before it has a chance to connect to the internet. Otherwise it will download its configuration from Vonage and the unlock will not work anymore."
Your original post mentioned you reset your ATA.
Again, you would be far better served by posting your temporarily unlocked/locked ATA DNS questions in the following dslreports thread:

That is what I have! Thought that I have to create some other "special, unique" name.
No. Those are the names assigned for FPL's servers. If you use another name your ATA will not connect properly--just as entering an incorrect website url will not connect properly when entered into a web browser.
voip.freephoneline.ca currently is 208.65.240.44. But Freephoneline may decide at some point to change voip.freephoneline.ca to some other IP (maybe 208.65.240.55, for example). Should that occur, using "208.65.240.44" instead of "voip.freephoneline.ca" (without the quotation marks) for the Primary SIP server will not work as intended by Freephoneline. That's what the instructions you read meant.
Do you people have DNS servers settings filled in or not? If yes, what are the settings?
