Re: Alarm Systems

Although FPL VoIP may work for alarm system signal, but I personally don't recommend to count on VoIP phone line for alarm system as there is no certain of when the system will go down and out of service. Also there is no certain of the UDP will be delivered without error or glitch to the destinatio...

Re: Softphone Ver. 3.0.1.0 Test Connection.

Starzone, I would suggest you play with the softphone for a while to verify and validate various features from FPL before you decide to purchase a configuration file and install your ATA. I have a Grandstream HT286 single telephone ATA, very cheap around $35-40. I used it for my company's VoIP in th...

Use the local VM access number for LD calls

FPL currently make purchasing LD pre-paid voucher a lot easier on-line. It will definitely stimulate the LD call revenue by encouraging users to make LD calls using their softphones and ATA home phones. May I suggest FPL to kindly consider enhancing the VM local access number's capability to not onl...

Re: Can I two numbers with the softphone and the ATA?

IF you have softphone installed on your PC or you have login freephoneline account, it will record into your cookie that you are an existing user. As per the FPL terms and conditions, they basically only allow one number per user (unique e-mail account) per IP, etc. Therefore, you have to uninstall ...

Re: please bring back ability to turn voicemail off

I guess (only personal guess), having the voicemail answer incoming call provide you convenience not missing message from important callers on one hand but it ensures all incoming calls will be "successful call" to FPL even you are not on-line or accept the call. With this, FPL will be sur...

To strike a balance between people abuse the feature to forward mutliple numbers to one number and the convenience for users to have two to three numbers to forward to one number for personal use, I think limit the number of freephoneline numbers that can be forwarded to the same number to 3 would b...

Re: Busy signal when line in use?

I have exactly the same problem as edp do.

3rd party call in while the freephoneline softphone is in use, the 3rd party get a busy tone after few seconds.

It should be a bug after server upgrade as I remember that I have this working before.
