I been using this freephoneline over 15 years and have no problem at all until one last Saturday with the big storm and my home power went out for a few hours. After few hours later, the power went back up but my home landline not working at all with no dial tone. I reset my internet modem even I r...

a) Hitron CODA-4582 should have SIP ALG disabled in it Open your web browser, and login at 192.168.0.1. Default username is cusadmin. Select the “Basic” tab and disable “SIP ALG.” Click the “save changes” button. I've disabled the SIP ALG function and will determine to see if that will make a diffe...

Have you tried listening to the messages online through your admin? This would tell you if the message was in fact recorded in full and for some reason when you played it back through your phone it didn't play completely. From my own observations, I was able to play the message in full when dialing...

Hey folks, I've been using the FreePhoneLine service (with the buy-your-own-ATA and get a VOIP unlock key route) for a year now. I've also ported my telephone number from my childhood days into that service as well. I use the Cisco SPA122 VOIP ATA with the following details: Model: SPA122, LAN, 2 FX...

A few weeks ago, I bought the Cisco SPA122 voip ATA at my local Canada Computers store. Next, I bought the VOIP unlock key for my FreePhoneLine just to test out with the device. Although the initial configuration was easy, I only had minor problems (but not too serious) on configuring the service. I...

Hey folks, I was wonder if it's currently possible to transfer my current Fongo Mobile phone number into the FreePhoneLine service? The reason that I'm asking is that i'm planning to transfer one of my phone numbers from Bell into the FreePhoneLine service. If you don't understand on what I'm saying...

Stay away from Cisco VOIP gear, it is old, ill tempered dreck. (works fine when configured properly, but getting there is a beast!) Grandstream is OK, But, you should put your money into Obi gear. Newegg usually sells it for a decent price. The Obi device supposedly also supports Blind Call Transfe...

Hey folks, I'm planning to get my own ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) complete with a VoIP unlock key in the future and I wanted to know - what is the "preferred" dial plan for the FPL (FreePhoneLine) service? As I live in Ontario, I wanted to access the Ontario 511 Road Information service...

I was wondering if the Freephoneline service offer an "ability" to transfer a call to another caller in progress? I already know that I can easily set up "conference calling" (or three-way calling) using *71 (using a residential phone service like Rogers, Bell, Telus, Cogeco, Vid...

Thanks for your suggestions, y'all. I also wanted to know about something about the "Dial Plan". If I wanted to configure 511, 411, 311 or 211 services - which particular dial plan I must use if I were to get a Grandstream or Cisco/Linksys VOIP ATA? IIRC, the province of Ontario has a 511 ...

All I can really go on is with my PAP2T. I didn't do anything special to make it fax, apart from keeping the fax simple. There has been quite a few threads about faxing in the past. Many have mentioned turning the ECM off, but I can't remember doing so. I think it is one of those things where it mi...

Modem->router->ATA. If the ATA has a built in router don't use it. I would also suggest getting a router that can be flashed with DD-WRT to give you other outs should you need it. If you want to fax, look for an ATA that supports T38 and set the fax to transmit as slow as possible. I send faxes wit...

Hey guys, The reason that I've created this particular thread is because I was wondering which particular networking setup configuration would you recommend - if I were to get a separate (and dedicated) ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) and have that device configured with the Freephoneline service (pr...

Hey guys, The other day, I've stumbled upon finding one particular IP Phone from Grandstream and I heard that this particular phone, the GXP2200 is the first phone that runs on the Android Operating System. I'm not sure if this phone is supported on the Freephoneline service, but all I knew is that ...

Does the IP address of the computer utilizing the FPL app need to be static IP or dynamic IP?

Hey folks, I currently have the Freephoneline service and I only got the softphone variant of it. I'm planning to get a Smartphone in the next couple of months and I'm planning to use that smartphone configured with Freephoneline on it. I recently signed up with Dell Voice as well (albeit using a di...

I'm using the followng on my laptop: Windows 7 Home premium x64 Java Standard Edition version 7 update 9 (build 1.7.0_09-b05) and yeah it's a 32-bit version. (Here's the link for reference: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7u9-downloads-1859586.html) EDIT: I've uninstalled ...

On somewhat relation to my concern, I went to use my FPL service and I tried to dial a certain number that is outside of my area, but within Canada. I didn't get a notice that I need to get "sufficient credits to cover my long distance charges". To put this into perspective, I made a call ...

That's the answer that I'm looking for! I have at least three or four email addresses (one of them is already in use) that I have contend with on which Fongo-powered service suits me. Thanks for the response!

Hey guys, I currently have the FreePhoneLine softphone application on my Windows 7 computer and I'm currently considering signing up with Dell Voice. The reason that I want to sign up with the "latter" (Dell Voice that is) is that I'm planning to get a new smartphone in the near future. Cu...

Hey guys, I have some thought on this particular thread just now and I want to share you some "observations" when using the Dell Voice app (smartphone app or a desktop app). I experimented a few toll-free numbers that I was able to dial when using a 778-assigned number with Dell Voice. Jus...

Hey guys, I'm planning to get a USB headset (headphones with built in microphone) in the near future and I want to know if it's possible to use a USB headset - in conjunction with the FreePhoneLine service? Are there any drawbacks when using a USB headset? I also wanted to know which particular USB ...

Have you reviewed the section for working configs here for the WRT54G? I know it has been extensively covered ... there might be a nugget in there that you have missed. Other than that, perhaps the new router will play nicer with the rest of your network and the various apps you are running ... ?? ...

The default firmware of the WRT54G is so awful, that an alternate firmware, DDWRT was made by volunteers to replace it. It is vastly superior to what you got now, and I strongly recommend you replace it. Your one way auid issues are most likely to disapear because of it, or at the very least, you c...

Hey guys, I've decided to get a wireless adapter for my desktop and the reason of that is that I'm moving downstairs to my basement because I have more space to work along with. Anyways, The particular wireless adapter that I had installed is a Linksys WMP600N Dual-Band Wireless N PCI adapter. The w...
