1899 offer voice over IP (VoIP) calls
Comments

Hi everyone,
try as i might, i simply cannot get x-lite to work with sipgate and 1899. I have set it up exactly as described by BexTech and opened all the ports suggested on the sipgate.co.uk website. It says logged on (with my 1899 number) but i cannot make calls. Nor can I receive them via my sipgate no.
Any ideas?
Cheers, Rik0 -
Hi everyone,
I'm wrtiting because I have such a problem.
I have a phone VoIP ' Sipura SPA-841' configured [ EXT1 ]for 'sip.1899.com'
When I phone any PSTN number then the person I'm phoning to can hear me well all the time,
however I can hear him only for the first 2-3 seconds and then there is silence but he can still hear my voice.
However when I phone not from Sipura841 but from laptop using the program SJphone everything is ok. and I can talk.
I have second account -StanaPhone [ EXT2 ]and work OK
Please help me
THX

You need to get in touch with the manufacturers of the phone and also contact 1899 about the problem.
I'm afriad I can't be of much help but other people on these boards may have an idea what's causing the problem.
otherwise go to
http://www.voipuser.org/forum_index.html
http://www.voip.org.uk/forums/
etc and ask for advice. The majority of people here are moneysavers, who may be more aware than your average Joe but I expect most people aren't very tech savvey. for example I'm supposedly a tech savey mse user yet I know very little.
keep an eye on this thread and post your problems on it.0 -
I just downloaded the 1899 VOIP software and all I got was the XP Antispy programme, should there be anything else? Also a question about headset connections. I have three connections in the back of my computer to which my PC speakers are connected. Where would I plug the headset into?0

Mine has simple onboard soundcard - mic, headphones, speakers. Headphones are in green. The symbols don't look brilliant but I reckon blue for microphone, red speakers. If you have a 5.1 card someone else can helphansi wrote:. I have three connections in the back of my computer to which my PC speakers are connected. Where would I plug the headset into?0 -

I have a Sipura SPA-2000 and have configured one port for 1899 and experience the same problem. I am going to look into it as soon as I get time, as being able to get completely free calls via my normal DECT phone is very appealing!
Sorry I can't help right now but I'll be back!

When I dowloaded the VOIP software I only got the XP AntiSpy, nothing else. Has anyone else had this problem?0

Hi all,
just started using 1899 and 1899 software for outgoing calls and sipgate for incoming voip calls with xlite software and a voip handset (skpe phone that was purchased in error but at least works only as a handset, cannot use keypad)
Bextech ,thanks for detailed post on how to use x lite for both (1899 and sipgate) but are there any advantages of doing this ? what are the advantages of firefly? if i enter my 1899 details into a third party program is it possible that my details are not secure and someone could run me up a big voip 1899 bill?
Occasionally my bt voyager 205 will lock up since I installed all this, any ideas?
Lastly, can I send a fax using this?
Thanks
PaulOn the internet you can be anything you want.It`s strange so many people choose to be rude and stupid.0
