I read about the RT31P2
Access to the Voice tab is restricted by Vonage. Contact Vonage for more information. Bummer. I was really looking forward to using a few of them.
This is begging to be cracked but I don't have the patience. Back it goes.

You might be able to have them unlock it -- They'll unlock the Cisco units for $10-$15 if you ask nicely.
I called Vonage customer support. I was told to call technical support at +1 866 243 4357, x3. I called them...and waited.
I spoke with Rena(? - Indian, I assume) at technical support. He said that if I activate an RT31P2 with Vonage then I'm locked in to only using Vonage. I said that the manual (and setup page) indicate that if even if it's not activated I can still only use Vonage. I again asked if I could pay for my unit to be unlocked. He answered that there is no way for Vonage to provide that and suggested I ask Linksys.
I tried Linksys product support at +1 800 326-7114, x1,7. I explained that I'd like to use the RT31P2 with my own SIP system and asked if it can be unlocked. After a long hold, I was transfered (up?) to Team Leader Dave who transfered me once again to a "technician handling this specific request."
Jenny at second level support said that there is no way to unlock the device and that it is manufactured only for Vonage. I asked if they'll be offering similar general-purpose hardware and got a very coy "maybe".
So...although I'd snatch up several of these boxes if I could just have control of them, it looks like I'll have to stick with Sipura devices.
