BT Versatility and 3rd Party VOIP

[mdj101]

Is it possible to get a service such as soho66 to work with the broadband plus module on the BT Versatility?

We have one client that uses our SIP trunks with a BT Versatility, so it does work with a few conditions.

You will need the broadband plus module on the Versatility, with a later version of the firmware to allow you to configure it.

I remember it was a little bit of fun getting it configured to start with, but it now works well. If it's of any help, if you are able to get the the config on one of your PCs I'd be happy to get one of the guys to connect in and set it up to ours to test it works?

BT don't support it, so they won't help if there is an issue, but I'm guessing your our of support anyway?

Hi Leo

Can you forward incoming calls to the V8 and V16 phones

Hi Mark,

Yes you should be able to - once the call hits the system you should then be able to setup call rules on the Versatility to define where it goes.

Thanks

Leo

It's possible that you'll get at least some of it working - whether it's worth doing is a separate question. I suspect you'll spend a lot of time getting pretty frustrated with it.

Also, you can build it your own dedicated server with Any free PBX software installed and get any ISP for calls and minutes! This way you will understand better , i hope this is helps.

Happy daYs

For what it's worth, I think you're better advised using a hosted service - particularly if you've only got a few extensions. The risks of setting up and maintaining a PBX that hangs off the internet are great - an unprotected or badly maintained box will be found and attacked within hours. With the wrong SIP trunk provider you could find a very large bill drop through your door.

"A SIP trunk is effectively an open credit card - I think most people are not aware of what they are buying or what the associated risk is."
