Re: Service drops out in the evening

I've been getting this lately also, just started out of nowhere all of a sudden. At first I thought it was the other person's phone, but when it happened a few other times on other days I started to get suspicious. Then that same person told me they couldn't reach me on my phone when they tried to c...

Re: Sound Cuts Out for Half a Second Randomly

Has anyone else noticed any improvements in these audio drops in regular call situations? Just wanted to add this is happening to me as well. I haven't noticed any improvements recently, and in fact seems like it's been getting worse (although that may just be that I've been using the phone more in...

MWI won't reset

I know there's been quite a few issues lately with WMI and inbound/outbound calling, but I thought those were all resolved. I had a VM waiting earlier today which I checked and deleted (using *98), however it's about 5 hours later and the indicator is still on. I've powercycled (unplugged the power ...

Re: [Oct 25] Inbound/Outbound Call Issue - Insufficient Funds

My phone had been working fine other than the MWI issue, but all of a sudden today when I call my number I'm getting the "This call is not covered by your tarrif plan" automated message!!! My wife is also getting the same message trying to dial out. Seriously, this is not good. Are there m...

Re: Oct 6, 2010 Upgrade-Related Bugs

Don't think this was listed among the "official" bugs after the upgrade, but since the upgrade my phones don't have the VM dial tone, and the VM indicator on my phones aren't on, yet I know I have unchecked VMs. I didn't even know I had VMs until I logged in to FPL today and checked my acc...

Well, you could read the post, all the info is there for you ;)

In a nutshell, an ampersand (&) causes an issue if it's in the display name of the pap2t, and possibly other ATA's.
See above posts for more details.

Re: 5 - 90 Min into the call and drops out

Mine has certainly been running a lot better, but been having dropped calls coming back again over the last week.

I did make t\all the chances suggested in the above threads, and that had seemed to have helped, but then the calls started dropping again, and of course during important calls to boot!

Re: 5 - 90 Min into the call and drops out

This has been happening to me as well, ans just happened tonight at 8:04 pm. Was talking with my wife who was at home, phone cut out after 8 minutes. Tried to call back but got ring busy. Tried again and she answered and could hear me, but I couldn't hear her. Tried again, worked this time for about...

Re: Calls straight to VM today ...

I agree, service for me has been mostly pain-free since I've had it. But setting up was a bit of a pain, so I can understand why the companies that charge and supply the ATA's keep them locked! Tried to ask the wife to change the settings, told her I'd guide her over the phone but she just laughed a...

Re: Calls straight to VM today ...

Ok, I'll give that a try when I'm home later, but good to know it worked for jovan1. I do remember setting my pap2t to use prefered codec only as I thought that was required, thought it was in the setup info here. Or I might have seen that in someone else's setup here. But should be easy enough to f...

Re: Calls straight to VM today ...

Just check my configs, I didn't set a static IP on the ATA, but the router is giving the same IP to the ATA as it was before. Port forwarding is enable, and forwarding to the correct IP. Like I said, I didn't make any changes on my end from last night to this morning. Seems a bit strange. Any ideas ...

Calls straight to VM today ...

All incoming calls to my FPL number are going straight to VM, was working fine last night. Been using the service for months without any issues, and I didn't change anything from last night to this morning. I've powercycled my ATA and router, but no change. Placing outgoing calls works fine. Are the...

Re: Unable to place calls, and phone rings but can't answer ...

Hey Steve, thanks for the reply. Yeah I know what you mean about how puzzling this is. I actually decided to swap out the modem with another one I have (Speedstream 6520) just to see if that changes anything. The speedstream has 4 LAN ports as opposed to the 1 LAN port on my Speedtouch, so I connect...

Re: Unable to place calls, and phone rings but can't answer ...

Still no answers? Well as an update, I've tried a bunch of stuff... Update my pap2t firmware to 5.1.6 (was on 3.x before), tried port triggering on my router, even removed the router and hooked up the pap2t directly to my modem and same thing, phones ring but I can't answer, and still can't dial out...

Unable to place calls, and phone rings but can't answer ...

Having trouble getting my line to work. Tried with softphone and it works perfect, but with ATA I can't seem to get it working. I'm using a Linksys PAP2T, and followed tony_qc's steps ( http://forum.freephoneline.ca/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=298 ) as well as the settings from mindabsense for the PAP2...

A week to get service??

I'm a little confused, was hoping one of the admins could clarify this ... I called last Tuesday (a week ago) to buy the config file for my ATA, and yet I still have not been charged on my credit card, and of course still haven't received the config file. I just called back now to ask what the delay...
