...and that's where using Voip.ms comes in handy... :razz:

I just got started with VOIP stuff and picked up one of these a month ago. Anyone care to answer a few questions for me?

I bought this adapter not realizing it only supports 1 line. I was hoping to use both a free voip service like FPL and voip.ms, but there is only 1 line port on this so I think I am limited to 1 voip provider. Sadly the cheaper pap2t and 2102 seem to support 2 lines so you can run 2 providers and you can have 2 calls going on simultaneously. This is a feature I wish the 3102 had.

Anyone know what benefit this fxo port is? I would assume most people buying a voip adapter like this are interested in ditching their local telephone POTS line and using a voip provider instead. Is the fxo port usefull for anything if I cancel my local telephone provider? Or is it only usefull if you are using both a local telephone provider pots line, and another voip provider?

Sorry for the newbish questions.

Sorry for the newbish questions.

if you want FPL and voip.ms to ring the same phone then you bought the correct one. if you wanted it to ring separate phone then yea you bought the wrong one.

3102 and 2102

Other than one being better by a 1000, what is the real difference and limitations. I can get a 2102 cheap, and want to set it to a provider like phone power, but also to another for overseas, is this possible with the 2102? Can you guys direct me to a forum that talks about this stuff, or you guys are already a part of?

Thanks in advance

And why would I want to pay a monthly charge for an extra DID I don't need? Oh yeah, right

Thanks for the information. That is my ultimate goal and also to create to option of callback feature with auto attendant so I can make cheap long distance calls from my cellphone. Still reading my head is about to explode. Already have a obi110 so looking at moving my phone number from Bell to FPL for local calls, voip.ms for international calling and setup gv for US calling.

I don't.

I do pay for it, yes, because I do need a DID to take adventage of Voip.ms LD rates… So, again, yes, I will gladly pay $0.99 a month for a DID and all of the options they offered me. Take a look at FreePhoneLine obscene LD prices.. I get my $1 back after couple of minutes of LD talk over Voip.ms...

You need a DID from voip.ms for the low rate? I think not. I pay half a cent for Canada and got rid of my did ages ago.

No. You don't. You can get voip.ms long distance rates without paying for a DID.

SPA3102 is a good device, I have been using it for the past 2 years with FPL and three other SIP providers (SIP gateways)

however I have a problem with this device, whenever my primary SIP account (FPL) is not available or it's offline (for example FPL service is down) I cannot dial out using my other SIP providers (I don't even have Dial tone)

does anyone know if there is a way to get around this problem?

I believe this is something you can configure in the dial plan so that if you press a particular key sequence, it will switch to the other VoIP line. I think you have to use the tag <:@gwX> where 'X' is either 0 or 1 to indicate which gateway to use. Google it and I'm sure you'll find the details to the answer you're looking for.

How else would he be dialing out on the gateway accounts? What you just wrote is the only way I know how to.

Anyway, yes, even when sip registration on line 1 fails, you can still dial out on the gateway accounts. I just tested.

Try setting Make Call Without Reg to Yes. Does that solve the problem?
