Hi all,
I'm a newbie to voip. I just converted to broadband and got a Zoom x5v router with voip. I've had someone call in and he could hear me well but I only get badly broken voice coming in, mostly unintelligible. Is there some way I can get some system to call me with pre-recorded message to test out my installation.
Does anyone else in the UK have experience of setting up this device?

George, you didn't say who provides your VoIP. If you can call FWD, try echo test on 613, also 612, 615 and 958. Also worth trying is IPTEL 411, voice activated news etc. Regards, Martin (sipgate & FWD using X-lite)
It comes with an account with globalvillage.com and the web interface has a button that configures it using a tftp download but it also allows for entry of configuration data for other providers.
I've registered accounts with IPTEL, Draytel (for the free 0870 number) and GossipTel and tried using x-lite with the Draytel account to call the router on the global village account. I hadn't heard of Babble before but seeing it mentioned in the group, it looks good.
Excellent, just what I need.
On a point of security, is it a bad idea to publicise a sip number, for example putting it in my sig so people can call me? Is there the equivalent of spam on sip?
best regards George
