Having problems calling mobiles via VOIP. It rings once then cuts off. Anyone else have issues?
Zoom 5800 and SIP providers (e.g. VoipStunt)
3 of 3
Ahh, it was just lack of experience there. Mobile calls do work it just rings one then goes quiet for a little while before it starts riniging again, I wasn't giving it a chance.
With regards to call quality with VOIPCHEAP, VOIPSTUNT etc.
How do people find it? I find that the majority of calls are fine but that on some long ones the voice of the other user starts to break up and I have to ring them again, is this normal?

I have no problem with VoIP Stunt via my PAP2, unless I forget not to knock back my uploading/download whilst in a call, as I have no QOS setting on my router, then occasionally it may sound like a mobile phone in a weak signal area.
Mmm strange, no downloading going on at the time either. It may be to do with my ATA's settings as they are all americanized. Or it could be that my router aint up to scratch I guess.
I've had a quick look at a manual I've downloaded, it doesn't appear to have a setting, seems there are no options for localisation either.
Has anyone worked out how to set this up with multiple voip accounts? You can set up four. Within each account page there is a space for a dial prefix. I have tried various things such as #2 but pressing #2 doesnt seem to do anything?

I have silence suppression disabled as to some it can be disconcerting when the line falls fully silent and there is no background noise, they think the line may have been cut off, sometimes you may hear the speech abruptly cut in and out.

If anyone does discover how to do this please post it as I would love to know too!
I have asked a few questions with zoom tech, they're not too good at giving answers to be honest and keep pointing me to a technical manual which is almost useless. 
just got this but I still cant get it to work, can you?
"Here is what I find out for you. The first account is the main account.
There is no indication that the other accounts are properly registered
so you need to somehow verify that you have set up all the accounts
properly. One way of doing this is to set each account as the first
account to verify the proper settings and making sure that it says ready
for call. Once done then you can transfer the account info to the second
account. The second or third accounts need to have a "prefix dial
string entry" This will let the ATA know which account you want to use.
The first account is the default and will not require a dial string.
You set up the prefix as such: <{prefix}:>
You must select a prefix that is not used as a possible dialing number
in the first account.
For example: If you set up prefix as such <{2:>, then to dial out
using the second account, you would dial the number 2 which would
indicate to the ATA that you are going to use account #2. But again,
you need to make sure that the no possible numbers dialed with account
#1 starts with a number 2.
Now one existing issue..You will also need to dial any other digit after the prefix
before the number, for now the ATA drops the first digit
of the phone number dialed.
For example: the dial prefix is "2" and the number you want to dial is
4803825.
You would dial 2 and then any other digit and then the number...2, 2,
4803825
I hope this helps"

Okay after some faffing about and a bit of help have found this, enter the below as the prefixes for voip account 1 and 2:
For provider 1, some sort of dial pattern that matches as you normally dial, e.g. for UK numbers:
0[1-8]x (Copy and paste for account 1 prefix)
Then for the second provider:
<2:>0[1-8]x (copy and paste this for account 2 prefix)
Now if you dial 2 first and then your number, the call will be made via your second voip account as this will take the prefix 2, strip it out, and dial out the number as dialled.
To use the 1st account just dial the number without the prefix.
If you wanted to dial the full international number, then these two should work:
Provider 1:
00x
Provider 2:
<2:>00x
That will route out any numbers starting 00 to the two providers.

I have lost this option a little while back after a firmware upgrade but have not contacted zoom as I have not needed it.
It was under advanced at the top then voip accounts.

Hi guys. I'm trying to decide which SIP device to buy and I'm totally confused. Yes i know that the expensive ones have PSTN passthrough and 2 or more RJ11 ports on them. But whats the difference between one of these SIPs eg PAP2, and this item on ebay: (only £20)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SIP-VOIP-PSTN-...QQcmdZViewItem
Is this any good? I've seen the PAP2 listed as 'unlocked'. I thought Linksys products would never be locked to any service - what am I missing here??!
