Adding a uk number to speedport w303 - Germany

Hi,

I have recently obtained a UK telephone number from SIPGATE.co.uk as I was told that you can enter this number into my speedport modem/router and receive VOIP calls through it.

Now I have this number I don't know where it should be entered. My German just isn't up to it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Rob, do you have a pdf copy of the Betriebsanleitung (technical manual). I can (maybe) work it out from there. PM me if you have, I will let you know my email address and we can go from there.

Thanks.

But I'm afraid I do not have the manual and the only one I can find on the internet is just for the initial setup.

From what I can gather the manuals are pretty hopeless anyway.

I'll keep looking though.

Here you can get it:

It's the 13,32 MB Bedienungsanleitung, but in German language.
direct link (pdf file!):

Page 104 offers some hints, but little about how to configure VoIP (f.ex. server address). I'd try to use a softphone instead, like f.ex. the X-Lite, and get my first VoIP experiences that way.

Ok, I've managed to muddle through with the manual (thanks for that postmann) and it seems like I now need to register the number with T-Online.

I need to login to "DSL Telephony". Anyone any idea how I do that?

Bavaria Satellites can organise and setup a UK number for you... but you will obviously need to pay for their Know-how..

Simple and straight forward!

Here I have my doubts. Me too was looking through the manual and I missed the page where the SIP settings would be explained. T-Online is a tough competitor, and I don't think they facilitate access to other companies which basically take their business away. As you have a sipgate username and password, you can log in on their webpage and look at how two devices need to be configured to have your VoIP working:

X-Lite 4
Nokia VoIP client

Unfortunately the linked content cannot be viewed without being logged in, but it is a bit more than the username and password you'll need to enter to get a working VoIP system using plain vanilla SIP (which is what you want to do). After all, by having a (normal) SIP-VoIP number registered, you can be reached on any host in the internet, wherever you want to be reached. Good stuff, just takes some efforts to set it up initially.

This I'd assume will 'only' take you to the Telekom version of VoIP... sorry. By trying to make life easier for their own T-customers, they make it more difficult for anybody else.

If you understand VOIP and whats needed and also have some basic German, Its not that hard...
