How do you call a Betamax VOIP contact that doesn't have an incoming number
with SIP hardware ?

You use a the SIP address of the party you wish to call.
It will be something like one of :-
[email]1234567@sip.provider.com[/email]
[email]joebloggs@sip.provider.com[/email]
Depending on your SIP hardware you could make the sip address
correspond to a 'speed dial' number.
I don't know precisely which VSP to which you are referring. However,
if the first part of the sip address is a number then you can call
that number via Sipbroker* by prefixing with the appropriate VSP code.
If, however, the first part of the sip address is not a number, but a
name, then you are stuck with having to use the sip address in the way
I described above.
*[url]www.sipbroker.com[/url]

Remove 'no_spam_' from email address.

Sipbroker has excellent facilities but isn't yet geared up to working
miracles. The Betamax family is very close knit and has its network
closed to outsiders.

There is a forum at [url]www.voipbuster.com[/url] which should help you.

Ah, thank you for that useful information. A good reason for not
choosing Betamax if you want to receive calls from other networks.

You should be able to dial the contact's IP~ number using # before and after
and * instead of dot,
eg: #123*45*67*89# , regardless of any SIP provider(s).
(~That's the router's internet IP number, NOT your computers LAN IP number)

Plus most people have dynamic IP addresses that can change every day..

With great difficulty - if you do not know the callee sufficiently well
to ask them for it or find it in some other way. You have 80.176.75.189
at present, but that's only known because of your posting here.

If the person you wish to call is known to you but on a dynamic IP you
have the extra problem of finding out what it is at the time you phone.
