No, their service works with an ATA just the same as any other SIP
operator.

Hi,


Thank you very very much. Their is nothing better than first hand reports.

It would be great to have some further comparative reports to confirm this
is not localised or anomalous to your situation (provider, equipment,
configuration, or any other).

I really appreciate your input - that is undoubtedly amongst the, if not
the, most informative experiential report on Vyke and from a UK user to :) -
many thanks again.


Best wishes,




News Reader

Well for a start, they're expensive, have no free interconnection with
other providers and the equipment they supply is locked. Wouldn't touch
them.

Nothing at all wrong with Vonage providing you have the usage
of such a service that warrants the little extra expense over and
above all others even though Vonage cost less than 25p day .
Many people will spend a lot more than that before they have been in a
pub or club five minutes tonight and flush the lot down the toilet
before closing time .

Yawn. Vonage is ok if you have the calling pattern to warrant the expense
and don't mind the limitations. Otherwise it's a waste of time.

And this *still* isn't a forum, Ron.

There you go gain Ivor seeing me round every corner if only you had
taken the trouble to check the headers you would have found that the
above message was posted via a BY account and my BY account as been
closed for around six weeks now .
Get your facts right before insinuating that I am posting stuff that I
am most certainly not , oh by the way Ivor have you reconciled
yourself to the fact that you ARE a European weather you like it or
not ? and this is also a FORUM weather you like it or not also .
