Hello,
Is there any way for me to find out my SIP address? I think it should be something like:
sip:[my_number]@atlas-west.vonage.net
The reason I want to know it is so other non-Vonage SIP users can call me directly (for free!). I don't know if Vonage allows this or not.
Thanks,
Ben. |

If you make people call you at your Vonage SIP I *think* you'll get billed for it because the call gets routed from the Vonage SIP server. Unless they do accounting on the phone adapter which will surprise me.
I did try to have a friend call me from his PC at my_number@my-ip.com:10000 and it worked. I'm glad that Vonage didn't block this feature because it doesn't affect their service profitability IMO.
I'm assuming you know your external IP address. |

I gave that a try and it does indeed work (sort of!).
My phone rings and I can hear the other party, but they cannot hear me.
I suspect it has something to do with Vonage not using the standard port of 5060 for line 1 and using 10000 instead. |

I didn't fully test the connection because I was at work but I saw the packets coming in and I had somebody at home tell me if the phone was rining, so the only part I didnt test was the voice connection (RTP). |

What are you using to place a call like that? Is this through AdCall or something? |

I hope this is not against the rules; Look around for x-lite, it's an xten product. A free version is still available for download. |

Not at all. In fact, I think you might find the link in the SoftPhone forum |

Do you know that you can have almost for free a sip address here: http://www.sip--address.com? That's really cool and handy because with it you have a message box, and can make full Voip calls for free. |
