Thanks so much Damien.  Hopefully 1 last question.  For ipkall information:
SIP Phone Number:
SIP Proxy:

Would the number be the ekiga alias or the xxx in
sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
?
And I'm assuming the proxy is ekiga.net.


(Going to try to set up an Asterisk for voicemail, hope I can get this all
working.  My wife thinks it's a little scammy (and no matter how much I try
to convince her), but if we don't have to pay for incoming calls, all the
better).

Ok, ipkall just sent me my phone number, so I'll have to log in and change
the sip info.   However, to put the info in the ATA ekiga uses the standard
port of 5060 I assume, and standard codec g711 or whatever it is (i think my
linksys gives me a lot of codecs to choose from) and then I would need to
put in the sip proxy my username and password.  Is there a way to tell this
works without purchases minutes or whatnot from diamondcard first?  Would I
at least get a dialtone if it works?

Yea i saw the call rates, but I guess I wasn't sure if it was both in and
out calls at that same rate.  I'll just have to email them.

This may also be more for the email to Diamondcard, but the service gets
charged per my sip address correct? So even if i have the ipkall DID
directed towards the ekiga sip info the minutes charged will be against my
diamondcard account, and same with outgoing?

[Ekiga-list] DID, ATA and Ekiga

2008-09-15 Thread MacNean Tyrrell
Ok i'm done with Vonage/Verizon Voicewing.  Just $30/month for the amount I
use it is crazy.  I have successfully "hacked" (i hate that word, I bought
it i should be able to do with it what i want) my old Linksys RTP300 from
Vonage.  I noticed that Ekiga offers a free sip address.  Is it possible to
use this address with a did provider and my rtp300?  (I did search the
mailing list, but I didn't find anything, and I'll admit I could have missed
it).

I noticed that Diamondcard is the recommended (well not forcing but they
give back to ekiga) and people that have it, is the 1.7cents a minute for
both out going and incoming calls? (obviously that rate is for US)  THe wiki
and website are a little lite on information that I saw.  Also, anyone know
if that rate is also for mobile calls?

Anyone use their DID service?  And can you cancel?  Like $2/month isn't bad,
but if ipkall ever registers me for a free DID i would cancel the one from
Diamondcard.  Just trying to get all the info I can before I spend any money
on services.

Also, if anyone uses a different out/in providor to landlines/mobiles that
is cheaper, pls let me know.  Many of the voip sip providers to Phone or
from phone seem to be scamish at best, advertising free calls (to USA
anyways) but you get to fine print and I'm not so sure.
