Can anyone suggest a cheap phone or ATA device that I can use with this service?

I don't have an alarm system.

"To test that your Caller ID is working properly, you can Dial 1-555-555-0911 from VoIP.ms Network. The system will playback your Caller ID, then make a short pause, and play the test result."

You could also call 911 and immediately say that this is NOT an emergency call and confirm that they see your address.

I use my cell phone to call my landline but it doesn't ring. I contact Voip but they could not figure out why it is not ringing. They asked me to contact Rogers. Rogers support is saying that there is nothing wrong from their side. I am now caught in between the 2 companies.

If I do not get a solution, I will have to cancel porting my number and I m stuck with a brand new device that I bought from Amazon. Grrr. Very frustrating situation.

Check list:
- you have money in your VoIP.ms account;
- you have received confirmation from VoIP.ms that your Rogers phone number has been ported successfully;
- you have configured your VoIp.ms account and DID correctly - ask VoIP.ms to look at both to see if it seems all right;
- if you are behind a separate router, try to plug directly into your modem.

I would suggest that there is something wrong in the Grandstream setup.

To see if the problem is the phone number or your Grandstream ATA settings try the following:
Install free Zoiper (a softphone) on your laptop or desktop, fill in your credentials, see if it registers and try to call someone.
If it works, there's no problem with the phone number, it's the Grandstream ATA setup.

How to install Zoiper.

Have you followed the VoIP.ms wiki about how to set-up the Grandstream HT802?
Have you updated the firmware?
Try to find a forum about setting up your Grandstream.

In any case, even if you can't use the Grandstream, you will be able to sell it easily on Kijiji.

What's important, is that you have already made the move away from your hefty monthly Rogers bill.
That means that in the next decade, you will save thousands of dollars even if you have to buy another ATA.
