Draytek 2820VN DID VOIP-IN settings

I cannot figure out how to use my VOIPDiscount number on this router and get it so people can call me through the router.

I'm confused I cannot see any settings that would help!?!?!

You would normally set up a SIP account with a provider, and they would allocate a phone number to that account. The SIP account details (domain, proxy, account no) are then entered into the VOIP section of the router, which then makes a connection with the SIP server. So when someone dials the number the call is routed via the SIP server to your router.

I've got the number and entered the details as I can make calls but it is the receiving calls that doesn't seem to happen

Who supplied the DID number? You usually have to do the configuration with them, rather than with the VOIP provider..

Here's the example from VOIPDiscount... http://www.voipdiscount.com/en/did.html

The [DID] number isn't supplied by VoipDiscount but you have to order it via a VoIP-number supplier (also called a DID-number supplier). Such a VoIP-number supplier is VOXBONE, the VoipDiscount team tested this supplier with succes.

Setting up VoipDiscount with a Voxbone DID number:

1. First make sure you have a working VoipDiscount-account (remember your VoipDiscount username).
2. Go to the Voxbone website and Sign Up.
3. Log in on your Voxbone-account.
4. Go To "Purchase" and then "DID's".
5. Select a country and city, fill in a Quantity and click "add to cart".
6. Click on: "Check your cart to proceed with the purchase" and than Click on "purchase" to make your payment.
7. Open "URI's" under the Configure menu.
8. Add a new URI (Protocol:sip, new uri:VoipDiscountusername@sip.VoipDiscount.com, Description: VoipDiscount) and Click on "Create".
9. Open "DID's & Trunks" under the Configure menu.
10. In the Virtual Number section change "Mapped to" to your VoipDiscount account and press "GO"

You're now set to go, dial your Voxbone number and your VoIP-client or SIP-Phone will ring.

You can find a Voxbone manual here.

The Voxbone service is not free, Voxbone charges a setup and monthly fee for there services. VoipDiscount doesn't charge a fee when you link a number to your VoipDiscount-account.

VoipDiscount is not responsible for the services from voxbone or any other number supplier. We only like to bring this service to your attention because a lot of VoipDiscount users ask for a VoIPIN-number. It's unclear which suppliers function correct with VoipDiscount, the VoipDiscount team can only advise you to test a supplier before you buy anything

Voxbone charges money for DID numbers, but you may be able to get a UK geographic DID number for free.. http://backsla.sh/did

VOIPDiscount did provide a free uk telephone number starting 05 however there isn't a way of configuring it through their admin panel. I can't find anywhere on the router either. I look at just buying a Voxbone but they say on the site a minimum of EUR 500 per month?

But thanks anyway

I didn't suggest buying a DID number from Voxbone.. Their instructions are quite simple, that's all. There is a link for where you can get a DID number for free and a geographic one, too, but not from Voxbone..
