Incoming Call Issue with Belgacom BBOX
Posted by: Jenny in VoIP, VoiP Equipments, internet phone on June 3rd, 2010
Using VoIP for your calls is the “in thing” today. This is the best “TREND” I like since it promotes SAVINGS and HUGE HUGE SAVINGS! It feels good also to know that I am becoming to know more about gadgets and technology now after I used VOIP for my phone calls.
VoIP is making calls using internet access instead of regular telephone wirings. You can use VoIP on your mobile too if your phone has wifi or 3G network. At home or in the office, you can connect your regular phone to any VoIP device so you can make and receive phone calls. Do not forget to connect your VoIP device to your internet router or modem. You can also use your internet router as your VoIP device already. The catalog box of your router will tell you if it’s SIP/VoIP capable, if it’s not there, then don’t bother. That means, you need to get VoIP device and have it connected to your internet router.
Calls are great that the person on the other line will not notice that you’re not using the regular line (landline or mobile). The only problem is when your internet port is blocking SIP/VoIP calls then that mean you cannot receive calls. This is encountered mostly by BELGACOM customers with their BBOX. To resolve the issue, I saw this great video sent on my email as one of my so-called VOIP alerts (I am VoIP fanatic now). This is about changing the port 5060 to 9999 so that you will be able to receive SIP calls.
iPhone and iPad for Practicality
Posted by: Jenny in VoIP, VoiP Equipments, iphone, mobile on June 3rd, 2010
The success of Apple’s launch for iPhone and iPad has gave way to tremendous change in iPhone and iPad users’ perspective in using internet access for better savings. Getting these Apple gadgets now are no longer a luxury but for practicality. With the use of VoIP technology, iPhone and iPad users now can save up to 50% or more with their phone bills.
When you get iPhone, you would be able to maximize your usage with the 3G and Wifi features. These features will help you to have internet access so you can use VoIP service. All you just need to do then is to download the SIP application in AppStore , and register your SIP Line from your voip provider. Once your SIP line is registered, you can starting making calls via voip gateway at a rate cheaper than your mobile provider is charging. You have the option to use either voip or mobile for both incoming and outgoing calls.
Below are the instructions on how to register your SIP line on your iPhone:
Download Sip Application from Appstore.
Open the application and go into the Accounts tab. Click on edit and then enter in my ID
Fill the SIP username and password (provided by your VoIP provider) and save.
Activate the account and return to the dialer, if the SIP button is green you can call via VoIP.
Skype Calls No Longer Free by 2011
Posted by: Jenny in VoIP, VoiP Equipments, internet phone, iphone, mobile on June 2nd, 2010
iPhone users in the US who have found ways to save calls through Skype will not be happy with the news that AT&T will be charging Skype to Skype calls by 2011. AT&T, which has the exclusive right to market iPhone in the US, has not yet disclosed as to how much would be the charges for Skype calls. Currently, Skype to Skype call are free thus it would clog up the AT&T network.
Once AT&T will charge Skype calls, this might directly affect iPhone user’s interest to use Skype. Skype users might decide to switch to use VoIP which provides free calls to the same VoIP network. With the users’ option to replace Skype with other VoIP, it will be more of a loss to Skype than AT&T. VoIP will still require DATA access thus AT&T will still earn for the DATA services they offered to AT&T subscribers.
Is the clogging of AT&T network the only reason why AT&T will charge Skype to Skype calls or is it because Skype and Verizon’s current partnership will turn to be an exclusive partnership in the future? There are speculations that Skype and Verizon’s exclusive partnership will last for 3 to 3 years, and no other US carrier will be able to get what Skype has to offer.

Skype for SIP Open Beta
Posted by: Jenny in VoIP, VoiP Equipments, internet phone on December 7th, 2009
Ebay is getting back on their feet from their serious turmoil in buying Skype. Ebay is hitting the ground again with the Skype for SIP Open Beta. With this latest development, Skype will surely expand their market from individuals to business enterprises. Skype for SIP Open Beta will allow businesses to complement their existing SIP-enabled PBX with Skype functionality. Business enterprises have already found a new partner with Skype. Aside from Skype can offer local numbers anywhere in the world, business enterprises’ customers now can also call the company free if they have Skype, they just have to click the call button find on the web pages and they can call free.
This is a good decision for eBay to have Skype for SIP. However, they were not the first to offer this type of service. There are a lot of SIP providers that can definitely offer lower rates than what Skype offers. Nothing new with the Skype for SIP features though, thus if you are currently using other SIP, then no reason for you to switch to Skype, unless however you are paying more on your current SIP provider, but that I doubt. Skype for SiP will let you do call conferencing, call forwarding, and voicemails. Since you will be using your existing hardware, no need to download Skype software anymore.
For those who would like to use Skye for Sip Open Beta you need to have installed SIP based IP-PBX system and get your own technician to assist you. For now, the Skye Beta is still on trial status, thus the number of applicant is limited so as the trial will be smooth for them and the Skype could give the testers adequate support.
For those who would like to get simultaneous calls, your SIP profile can support up to 300 channels. Each channels is good for one inbound or one out bound call at any time. As they are introducing this to the public, they are giving each channel for only €4.95 per channel per month. Monthly channel subscription is a must in order for you to get the Skype for SIP Open Beta. All your outbound calls are billed according to the Skpe’s standard rate.
