So, I'm sure most of us received an email from Fongo with that subject heading today.
In case you didn't, the email states the following:
"Ensure your devices are routing to voip.freephoneline.ca as we are making some changes behind the scenes on our end.
When?
We will begin making changes on Tuesday, May 23.
How?
Access your device’s web interface
Change the following settings (if not already set)
SIP Server:
voip.freephoneline.ca
SIP Proxy (If Applicable):
voip.freephoneline.ca
You can find your own specific SIP settings:
Log into http://www.freephoneline.ca → enter Settings → enter SIP Settings
Note:
Perform this change prior to when we will be making the switch."

What does this mean? It means if you've been using an IP address in your registration requests instead of using "voip.freephoneline.ca", you're going to have problems after May 22nd because server IP addresses are subject to change.
Use server names and not IP addresses for the ProxyServer (Obihai devices), Proxy (Linksys/Cisco ATAs), and (Primary) SIP Server (Grandstream) setting in your devices.
Does this mean I can't use voip4.freeephoneline.ca:6060 or voip2.freephoneline.ca? No. You can. This document isn't affected: https://support.freephoneline.ca/hc/en- ... redentials.
