Re: Simple voip

[Martin Greenwood <greengreengreen@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Roger and Mark for feedback, it sounds like it's coming
together..
Googling I've discovered the draytek 2500v and 2600v. They connect to
phone, phone line, adsl line and ethernet.
They automatically switch incoming calls from the pots and the voip to
a single phone. Also when dialing it defaults to voip but can switch to
pots from the handset.

This sounds great as then have best of both worlds. Keep old phone
number (have to keep bt line anyway to get adsl), able to answer calls
from both source with single phone. However I have ethernet switches/
router / adsl modem so this all in one solution is overkill.

draytek do a service draytel where usa and ireland (our two main
countries that we call) are about 2p per minute.
Also investigating 0870 numbers, they seem like a bit of a con, as they
are called non geographical, but they aren't discounted like national
numbers. So callers are paying thru the nose, I guess the provider gets
a kickback?? Any comments?

What I would like is to plug the dect base station into an adaptor and
use it for both pots and voip like the draytek.
Does the Sippura allow this. (I don't want two sets of phones)

Thanks,

Martin
