Wireless IP phones with Vonage?

Oh, I never thought about that. Who knows, it's entirely possible. Those websites are pretty similar.

The Pulver Wisp wireless phone is an SIP phone with 802.11b instead of a wired ethernet phone. As such it should be compatilble with Vonage Softphone service.

Sign up for softphone and set up as follows:

Oubound proxy: 216.115.25.199:5061
then provide your softphone # in the userid field and your password in the password field and you should be ready to go.

BTW this will work for any SIP phone (such as grandstream or cisco 7940/60) and Vonage Softphone

du1jec, Thanks for the info. I will be getting a few Pulver phones soon along with the BroadVoice service for testing their QoS as compared to Vonage. I will check to see if those Pulver phones work with the Vonage service.

Info for all: Ethereal is an excellent packet sniffer to trace Voip SIP and RTP call setup and teardown. Use it in an ICS configuration. Also, the built-in Windows Performance Monitor is an excellent way to graph out your Voip calls in an ICS configuration. Set it up to monitor the NIC connected to the phone adapter. You will find it very interesting how flat a call gets graphed out after it peaks.

Just curious, but is anyone aware of how Vonage handles multiple SIP clients registering to one proxy? Does it only allow one client at a time, per phone number? If it allows multiple, can you make multiple calls simultaneously under one phone number?

It supports three-way calling, if that's what you're asking. The audio of the other call is handled via different ports in the 10,000+ range.

Not quite, let me give a for-instance:

Say I've got two 7940s and only one phone number registered to Vonage. If they both try to register to the same server, will they succeed, or will the registrations overwrite each other? If they both are successful, will I be able to make two phone calls simultaneously from each phone under that single registered phone number (I really doubt the Vonage network supports barge, heh)?
