I was trying to generalise instead of going into detail. There are
many PAP2s on ebay that have previously been on Voange. Do a factory
reset and.... you know the rest.

I do know that number but
when I dial it on O2 I get an unobtainable tone and, on Orange, after
a 'foreign' ring tone, I get a message in French.
Looks like O2 and O don't like the competition. What these companies
don't seem to realise is that they aren't losing a penny as very few
people would use them for international calls anyway. It is better to
keep customers happy.

I think you could be wrong Brian I never think about mobiles not using
one very much never thought to give the mobile numbers for the
service which are ......................................[color=blue]

Hope this helps .

I had been thinking of that route - what is the procedure for a
factory reset on a Vonage PAP2? I would want to use it with voip.co.uk

You misunderstand. Factory-reset an unlocked PAP2 and it relocks itself.

Brian, do you know ATAs which pass caller-ID for incoming PSTN calls?
