There are many PAP2s on ebay that have previously been on Voange. Do a factory reset and.... you know the rest. Remove 'no_spam_' from email address. |

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. Remove 'no_spam_' from email address. |

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