I had a Bell Canada ATA which worked fine in Toronto. However, when I took it to India, I am not able to get a dial tone. I tried it both at MTNL and BSNL internet connection and I can just hear a vaccum.

Does thses ISP block any ports that ATAs use? Would really need your help to resolve this.

Thanks

I have been trying to connect through both direct-IP calling as well as SIP route and have trouble figuring out port numbers of different commercial sip providers.

It is good idea to have an ATA set up in india.How did you deliver the ATA device you bought from voipsupply in india?

Sure. Its just basic free account with some additional features like

* Set up to five SIP registrations for inbound calls
* Set up Call Connection rules
* Use Web Call Back
* Make Smart Calls (balancing call quality and costs)
* Make free calls to other voxalot members
* Make free calls to over 2000+ other SIP networks
* Receive calls to your voxalot number
* Set up Voice Service Providers for outbound calls to normal
telephone numbers
* Activate or deactivate voice mail
* Receive voice mail as a sound file (WAV file) in your email
inbox
* Create a speed dial directory
* Get free support from the community support forums.
* Connect to your Voxalot account using a soft phone, wifi mobile, Analog Telephone Adapter or using one of the 200+ access numbers around the world listed on SIP Broker.
* Use our branded Virtual Toll Free button

I never tried to use the additional features. But now I need to use that, because my family in India paying Rs.6.00 to give me a missed call. So I decided to get some Voip providers for less price to make outbound calls from India ATA device to give me a missed call to my cell. Then I can call them back for free.

I need your help to get Cheap Voip providers and how to set outbound calls in Voxalot.

Thanks and appreciate your response and help.

Thanks and nice to hear that. I am not sure if my BSNL is configured in PPPoE.

Can you tell me what is VOXALOT-Premium account exactly. may be i would try researching but just thought of asking you?

Thanks!

Now I am calling my family for unlimitedly at anytime for free. I had paid extra $25.00 (to VOXALOT-Premium account) to get the number and I registered with IPKALL. I got ATA 496 and configured my BSNL user id in PPPoE and its working very good. No problem except little bit noise disturbance. That’s ok for free.

If you have any suggestion to improve please let me know.

Suresh

Yes, you can. for trying it in US. first get a Gizmo number. get a US number for your gizmo number using IPKALL.

then log into gizmo thro your computer.

call the US number which IPKALL gave you, the gizmo application should ring in your computer.

if you dont want to spend for a ATA and you have computer at home then this is a cheaper option.

ofcourse you have to be always logged in to recieve calls.

if you buy a ATA, then just configure it as mentioned in this article, and connect a phone to the ATA and when you call the US number which IPKALL gave you, the phone should ring.

this is the same way vonage works, only diff no monthly charge.

Incoming thro this way is free and out going you need to buy gizmo minutes which is around 2 cents /min for US and most europe countries.

Good luck

Thanks!

I got BSNL in India and my borther-in-law he knows little abou that. So I will tell him to forward that port both in router and PC or to disable the firewall.

I got another problem. Gismoproject SIP worked only for 1 hr. After that it says you have no credit in your a/c. That means it’s not free. So I tried with freeipcall SIP and I got dial tone but I could not make call out. So I send an email to customer service they replied me if I am premium user I have to use 00+country code+number.

Please let me know is there anyother providers that you know or using.

I am waiting for your reply.

Thanks!
Suresh

Nice to hear that, are you getting echo. There is some setting for echo cancellation.

Till now i rarely got problems. might be some times. are you going to use it with BSNL or AIRTEL internet there in india.

do u have any one there who is bit knowledgeble and have a laptop.

because the SIP ata usually works in 5060 port. you might need to do firewall disabling in the modem/router side as the modem blocks the port.

you might face this problem. it shud be simple as logining into modem/router and disabling the firewall.

good luck
