Sipgate/VOIP - a little help needed
Hey
I just created a sipgate account and I'm about to purchase the 1000 minutes for £5.90 package. I have previously used Skype and then switced the Gizmo. I changed to sipgate because I don't have a landline socket in the house at all. My question is, is it possible to run sipgate just through my cable modem using a VOIP phone adapter box with a regular wireless DECT phone plugged into it? I pretty much want sipgate to act as a regular landline service (i.e always on to send/receive calls including while the PC is off.) Do all brands of VOIP phone adapters work with sipgate? I really want to get away from the softphone option and get some proper convenient/away from PC VOIP going. Any recommendations regarding VOIP phone adapters? Any info would be much appreciated. Cheers Lee |

I have Sipgate and VoIPStunt on a Linksys PAP2 ATA connected to my router over cable broadband, using DECT cordless and corded phones, each output has a REN of 5 and I don't have a standard landline.

You need to log onto Sipgate website using a UK IP address, so you will need to either dial-up using an old non-AOL dial up account or pop onto a friends internet connection who isn't on AOL, then just select change number and select an area-code of your choice. |

If you use a proxy server with a UK IP address, you will be able to get a UK local geographic number from Sipgate. Visit this site for an explanation http://www.the-scream.co.uk/html/resources/proxies.html
