Hi, I want to make sure ports are not blocked where I am going to install the phone line.
If I can use the Free Phone Line softphone on a computer up there, would it be a good test?
If the ports are blocked, will it be blocked on the softphone as well?
thank you very much!

Re: Blocked ports and Softphone
If you can get the free client working perfectly on your setup, using a SIP device should work fine. The quality of your ISP, and the quality of your router are what makes for a bad VOIP experience.

Re: Blocked ports and Softphone
The softphone isn't 100% like a SIP call, but as you mention you use Teksavvy in Montreal, I can tell you they don't block any ports, so it'll work fine.
