thanks for the reply.

what is ata?

it says i need to forward ports 5004 - 5060.
i have a belkin router and can't see how i can give a range of ports.
it allows me to specify one at a time.

can u suggest anything else?

thanks.

That is very interesting but fortunately for me I do not make many
phone calls and in the short time I have been posting here and reading
fascinating posts from other subscribers I have come to the conclusion
that I will stay with voipbuster and head set for now. It seems to me
the voip companies are using their customers and the expertise of
folks here to develop voip and as yet they haven't come up with
anything other than what I use to warrant any expenditure. I can see
others with greater needs than mine will have different ideas and they
will in actuality be the research and development folks for the
companies who will make loads of money from this exciting new
application for the internet.

I tried both of them a couple of weeks ago. Didn't work for me either; not
even my own number. Just said remote line disconnected or something like
that. I have no idea if I wasn't doing something extremely obvious though
since I am completely and totally new to all this. Maybe not depositing any
money? Can't anyway cos only have debit card.

Did it not work for you before paying, but does after?

I never tried it before paying. However when I did pay it was a couple
of days before I received the email from them with my account details,
probably because it was a weekend.
