When someone rings my new Vonage set up they get about 4 rings before my
phone starts ringing. I have just transferred from Freetalk and am using the
Motorola VT2442-VU. I have done a few test rings to my Vonage set up using
another line and I can see that the router is telling my phone to ring as
soon as I hear the ringing tone on the other line as one of the LED's starts
flashing but it just takes 4 or so rings for my phone connected to the
Vonage set up to actually start ringing. I have tried putting in an ADSL
filter in between the VT2442 and my phone but this makes no difference. The
phone I'm using is a Panasonic Dect phone not sure which model. Any ideas
what this could be?
Thanks in advance

Hi Phil
How do you find the call quality compared to Freetalk? I am with Freetalk
presently but not keen to switch over to Vonage as we had alot of call
quality issues with their service whereas Freetalk worked perfectly.
Thanks
Fred.

Fred, hope I can help. I currently have Freetalk, AND Vonage, (as I am
mid-way through transfering from FT to Vo), and the quality on Vonage is
very good. Very clear, no crackling, delays etc.

I'm impressed.

So it should be for the price they charge. For what it's worth, I get
excellent call quality on Sipgate for free, but I suppose I mustn't say
that. Too bad.

Why sound so negative Ivor? No one here is mocking "free" providers. Fred
asked a simple question and I answered him, then you come along with your
"negative sounding vibes"?

Calm down dear. It's only a thread. :)

So sipgate have started giving free calls to the UK and all of Irland
have they Ivor In anycase I am not so stingy that I mind paying
around 26p a day for a damn good service in every way with access to
tecnical support in real time 24/7 not by poxy email during working
hours . There arn't any pockets in shrouds Ivor in case you didn't
know .

If something isn't free Ivor doesn't want to know by the sounds of
things .

The trouble with threads is they unravel.

Not at all. I just don't see the point of paying for something when I
*can* get it free.

They're not free if you've got to pay 26p a day for them, are they..?!

Look up "free" in a dictionary.

I bet I pay less per month for my phone service than you do, even allowing
for the fact that I pay for some of the calls I make. Most of my calls are
to other Sipgate users, so they *are* free.
