Vonage VoIP Forum Digest - July 10, 2008
July 10, 2008
By Daniel Connor
Welcome to the Vonage VoIP Forum Digest
In the Forums There's a good thread going on in the forums regarding hooking up Vonage to an IP-PBX. Questions raised include, can he use Vonage with Asterisk, does he need a softphone for the SIP credentials, is there better integration with another IP-PBX, such as Brekeke Software, or do you even need an IP-PBX when Vonage has call forwarding, transfer, voicemail, 3-way calling, etc. Go check out the thread for more.
Vonage Reaches Major Milestone With Its First Technology Patent
- Invention covers how a virtual phone number connects a long distance phone
call -
HOLMDEL, N.J., July 10, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/
-- Vonage, a leading provider of digital phone services, today announced it
recently received approval of its first internally developed patent, called
"Method and Apparatus for Placing a Long Distance Call Based on a Virtual Phone
Number." The invention allows customers to use a virtual number to contact
parties at distant locations without incurring long distance charges.
"This is a major milestone for Vonage as we continue to keep innovation at
the heart of our corporate value system," said Jeffrey Citron, Vonage Chairman,
Chief Strategist and Interim CEO. "We are pleased to have secured this patent,
and the depth of talent and creativity here at Vonage that it reflects."
Comcast and Vonage Form Collaboration to Address Network Management and Better Meet Customer Needs
PHILADELPHIA, PA and HOLMDEL, NJ, July 9, 2008 -- Comcast Corporation and
Vonage Holdings Corporation announced today a collaborative agreement to address
the reasonable network management of Internet services. Comcast committed to
work together with Vonage to ensure that network management techniques are
chosen that effectively balance the need to avoid network congestion with the
need to ensure that over-the-top VoIP services like Vonage work well for
consumers.
"This agreement helps Vonage to ensure that customers have the best possible
Internet experience," said Louis Mamakos, Vonage Chief Technology Officer.
"Although we're competitors with Comcast, this understanding helps our two
companies work together to balance the needs of network management with
consumers' ability to freely access the services, applications and content of
their choice."
In the Forums What poster asks, "What does *99 do?" Great question! The answer is that *99 sets the bandwidth saver to High with some adapters. Brian188 adds, "any Linksys adapter *99 places the adapter in Modem Pass through mode. Similar to fax pass through. Essentially it turns off Echo cancel, call waiting, silence suppression, and DTMF transfer. To use the highest bandwidth setting you either need to have it set that way in the Vonage control panel or dial *017110 from your phone. There is no charge for either the bandwidth settings, or the modem pass through."
In the Forums A new Vonage subscriber with a cool Darth Vader avatar posts his first thread titled, 'New subscriber here - anything important I should know?'. Several Vonage Forum regulars gave him a nice warm welcome and gave him some tips about the DD-WRT router, QoS, and Vonage alpha. Go stop by and give him a warm welcome and feel free to post some Vonage tips.
Vonage Applauds Congress for Passing the New and Emerging Technologies 911 Improvement Act of 2008
HOLMDEL, N.J., June 24, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/
-- Vonage, a leading provider of digital phone services, today hailed the United
States House of Representatives' passage of the New and Emerging Technologies
911 Improvement Act of 2008. This new act grants long awaited rights and
protection to VoIP service providers to interconnect to the traditional 911
network operated by incumbent telephone providers.
Vonage Tips With summer here, you'll probably be outside more doing activities such as swimming, biking, hiking, or travelling. As such, when you return to your home you'll probably be a little more tired. nothing like an afternoon nap I always say. But how to prevent calls coming in at the most inopportune time? Well, one of the most popular Vonage features is Do Not Disturb (DND). Simply dial *78 from your Vonage phone to turn on Do Not Disturb and *79 to turn it off. If you forget star codes easily, setup speed-dial 1 and speed-dial 2 on your phone for DND on & off.
Say, did you know you can save 20% on your Vonage phone bill with a special reduced yealy rate of only $239.99? That's a savings of over $59/year. All you have to do is choose to pay one annual rate instead of a monthly fee. Not sure if this applies to new customers only.
Vonage Tip Did you know that Vonage is currently the only VoIP company that has full access to 2-1-1 (in most if not all states), an information service for referrals to health, human, governmental, and other community services? Simply pick up the phone and dial 2-1-1. Go try it out! Of course, anyone can also dial (877) 211-8667 if 2-1-1 doesn't work from their phone.
In the Forums Having CallerID trouble? You're not alone. This thread goes back to June of 2007 but continually receives new replies. If you are using the Linksys PAP2 and 50% of your calls say "INCOMPLETE DATA" on your phone's Caller ID display, then you should read this poster's reply: "I have been having the unknown caller on id periodically for some time. Yet my dashboard always showed the id. I finally got off the couch and called vonage to downgrade my PAP2V2 from firmware 1.00.22 to firmware 1.00.13. Caller id has been working fine ever since! Tech support was helpful and quick to help with this "known issue" with 1.00.22 on the PAP2V2."
In the Forums You can buy just about everything else on eBay, so why not a Vonage router? Buying stuff on eBay is fun & addictive. But the question is, should you buy a Vonage router on eBay? Well, a thread over on the forums poses that very question. The short answer is "no". You get the latest & greatest router for free when you sign up with Vonage. However, the long answer is that if you cancel within the first few months, you'll be billed for the router and/or an early cancellation fee. But why would you cancel, anyway? ;)
