Re: Grandstream HT801 dead?

I'm still using a Grandstream HT286 purchased from FPL in 2012 and it works flawlessly.
This ATA is always plugged to a surge protector.

Re: Fongo places a 1 when trying to block a phone number

You need to put international access code 011 used when calling from a canadian standard phone before the country code (in your case 01144xxxxxxxxxx).

Re: Wouldn't it be nice if all text messages got through

The limitation originates from financial institutions. They have a database of VOIP phones and free email addresses. I experienced that earlier this year when I called CIBC to reset my password. They refused to send the reset code to Fongo and bell.net email and the reason they provided is 'security'.

Re: Does Call Log register calls not answered?

FPL/Fongo Call Logs register all outgoing and incoming calls for the current and previous month only, whether they are answered or not. Call Logs for period before previous month are automatically deleted. You can save Call Logs if you want for further reference.

You can receive security codes to Fongo Mobile from Google, Microsoft and Yahoo. However, financial institutions do not send such codes to a Voip phone number or a free email address for security reasons.

Re: Spam Catcher Suggestion

I have been receiving too many scam calls on my Fongo Home number during the last 3 years. The only way I found to stop such calls is a virtual PBX. My contacts enter a 4 digits extension number that works like a PIN. This can be configured to reject unknow numbers or forward them to an alternate em...

Your ATA will work regardless of the location where you are moving. You can also travel abroad and bring your ATA. All you need is a good Internet connection.

Re: Faire des appels anonymes par freephoneline

Pour masquer votre numéro, composez *67 avant de faire chaque appel. Je pense que les services * doivent être activés dans la configuration de l'ATA. Vous pouvez toujours essayer d'accéder à votre boîte vocale en composant *98; si ça fonctionne, cela signifie que les codes * sont activés.

Re: comment masquer mon numero lorsque j'appelle d'un FFL

Je ne possède d'ATA de marque Linksys et ne sais pas si c'est possible de masquer un numéro de façon permanente.

Toutefois, il existe une option qui consiste à masquer un numéro pour chaque appel effectué. Il suffit de composer *67 avant le numéro.

Re: I was charged for local Calgary call

Got the same problem a few years ago after dialing local Bell Canada number (310-BELL, 514-310-BELL) and was charged for a long distance call to Terrence (California).

If the called company has a toll free number (1-800...), use it as an alternative.

Some cell providers will block VOIP on their network because they want their customers to use their data plan and pay the high rates. These providers can be located anywhere in the world.

Re: Possible to download the FreePhoneLine program w/o FPL a

FPL supports calls to 911 and you need to create an account in order to provide your personal info to the emergency services before downloading the desktop application. An email address is required and it must be different from Fongo email account.
