Handytone 486 - configuration / set-up
Dear Forum Members,
I have recently signed up for Voxalot but struggle to get it to work. I have a DECT phone connected to a Handytone 486 and we have several VOIP geographic numbers that I entered into Voxalot. Unfortunately, currently I cannot receive calls or make calls from / to PSTN numbers. The handset provides a ringtone but nothing happens when I dial a number. The VOIP numbers seem to register ok with Voxalot but when the numbers are called they switch immediately to the voicemail of the VOIP provider rather than Voxalot's voicemail or the handset. Does anybody have any suggestions what can be done to configure the system correctly ? Many thanks. |

Are you able to dial *600 (echo test)?

I set up an HT-486, a few months ago, and could not get it to work at all until I down loaded the latest firmware.
Go to the Grandstream firmware update page and set up the download parameters as listed : Grandstream - Innovative IP Telephony Also, get a copy of the matching User's Manual from the support pages. Try some test numbers as Martin suggests, and if this still does not work, I'll try to post the essentials of the configuration, when I get some more time. |

Dear Martin & Kurun,
Many thanks for your suggestions. The echo test works fine and I have included the firmware update parameters into the handytone. Unfortunately, it still does not work. However, I read on the forum about the difficulties with Freespeech.ie, sipgate.co.uk and sipgate.de. I believe this is where the problem lies. I use inbound numbers from all three and use Freespeech.ie for the outbound calls. Based on this I connected a US number from Stanaphone and I can receive inbound calls from it. It really is a shame that Sipgate/Freespeech are being so difficult. Is there a company/website where you can buy VOIP numbers for different countries which are independant of any VOIP provider ? Many thanks for your suggestions. |

Hi Gambrinus,
Great idea ! Many thanks. DID World Wide looks like an excellent solution that is not too expensive. We intend to put the geographic DID Voip number on a website/product packaging/brochures/etc and don't really want to have to change it all if the provider goes bust or suddenly doubles their prices. Have you tried them out ? Are they reputable ? Are the voice quality and the reliability good ? How about DIDX - DID / DDI wholesale Service Provider ? Many thanks. Biu |

You can "try before you buy" :
DID World Wide, International DIDs forwarded to PSTN and VoIP by SIP, IAX, H323, Skype, Gtalk, MSN Messenger. Origination services, SIP DIDs You may also want to check out Callcentric - internet phone service for DID numbers. |
