Re: Sytem problems - no incoming calls
Good work. Thanks to all of you. I think both Fongo's network status display and DCI's emails are excellent examples of good customer service. Wordline should listen. As I side note; if anyone is interested in cheap, basic mobile service (phone and text) should look up DCI Telcom's website. Cheers

Re: Lost incoming calls should almost never happen
Now the bad news. While the problem was fixed for a time, software fix apparently created other problems and IT WAS TAKEN OUT. Ergo incoming calls will still be lost while your ATA has no AC power. :x Worse, nobody seems to care. Note that it is not the Support Guys who are the problem> It is produc...

Re: Will the HT701 ATA work from a Thomson TG784?
Here is the situation after the installation and number port completed by Bell/Worldline. My ported (old Bell) number and internet works as expected on the Thomson box, but my Fongo account will not work, because the Fongo ATA will not register. After some discussion the Worldline tech called his te...

Re: Will the HT701 ATA work from a Thomson TG784?
Thanks for your note. As you know, I have a working "account" on my current config, modem, router and ATA. It was Worldline who imposed their Thomson modem/router. I guess from a service provider's perspective they want to know the hardware and not have to guess what is going on when somet...

I am divorcing from Ma Bell! I have signed on with Worldline for HS internet and Home phone bundle. I am also porting my Bell number to them. Worldline has sent me a "preconfigured" Thomson TG7784 with instructions not to touch it!!! :lol: Could not resist. I swapped out my Speedtouch ST51...

Credit card update - how????
I received a new credit card and I can't find any way to update the payment information. One would think that under Account Info this would be an easy thing to do.
Unless someone helps me out here your next month fee for e911 will not be honored.

Re: Lost incoming calls should almost never happen
Thanks to the folks at Support, I am happy to report that this problem is now solved. Incoming calls from traditional landline carriers (Bell; Telus) and from mobile phones while your ATA is "unavailable" - like unplugged! - will now be directed to your voice mail. The solution while works...

My winner is the NETGEAR WNDR4000! I have tried several "new" - that is dual band - routers. All of them had the same problem. My HT701 Speedstream ATA was unable to register through them. I found it strange that the same ATA had no problem to register using my two "old" G router...

Re: Home Alarm Monitoring with Fongo
I have an APC 550VA unit. Bought it at Staples on sale. Can't recall the price but I believe it was a very good offer. Somehow C$69 comes to mind. Shop around! I figure that the power consumption of my "telephone system"; DSL modem, router and ATA is around 20W. The APC 550 should support ...

Voice Mail forwarding/copying to multiple email addresses
I wonder if the voice mail to email feature could be enhanced to be configurable with more than one email address and simultaneous delivery. I could use this feature in my home.
Not a "must have" rather a "nice to have" enhancement.

Re: What happens if I take my ATA to location outside city l
Funny you say that. My phone certainly does not work that way. If I disconnect my ATA or the registration is lost, incoming calls to my number will not go to voice mail. This is my biggest problem with FONGO. I just tested this with one of my accounts. I disconnected my end and waited until it show...
