FAO : GRAHAM :-)

YOU SAID IN ANOTHER SPACIAL TIME DIMENSION .........

"I actually use the same system myself to ring two, sometimes three mobiles
simultaneously.
You can also ring them sequentially, in a hunt-group.

You may have heard of Asterisk and Trixbox, a Linux based PABX, my solution
is based on
this functionality, but the good news is that you don't have to build a
box.
For your modest requirements you can use a free hosted PABX account at
http://pbxes.org

So first sign up for an account.

Now we need a couple of VoIP trunks. Probably it's best if you got one with
the same STD
code as the landline that will ring along with the mobile, get that from
http://www.sipgate.co.uk
again this it totally free, including the phone number.

The last thing you need is a VoIP trunk to make the outgoing calls from the
virtual PBX to the phones
(multiple calls can be made simultaneously from a single VoIP trunk)
You could use the same Sipgate trunk as above for the outgoing legs, you
would just have to credit
the account with money, but they charge 10p/min to call a mobile whereas
smartvoip charge half that,
so I suggest you get an account from http://smartvoip.com and apply 15.75
Euros credit by Paypal.

If this is the way you want to go, let me know and I will talk you through
setting up the five things
you need to configure in the pbxes account, these being
The two trunks
Inbound route
Ring group
Outbound route"

.................................................. .................................................. ..


I have signed up with PBXES , and successfully have "GREEN LIGHT" connection
apprently with
Sipgate - standard landline number
voipuser - 0844 number
voipfone - 0560

Currently i cant find a "dummies" guide to PBXES ... and to be honest i dont
fully understand
what it does ........ or I should say what its functionality is ...

1) is PBXES a forwarding service ? for example a caller calls the sipgate
number and it can be
forwarded to voipuser / vopifone ...could you clarify this

2) im not sure , should i be using my grandstream 2020 or my nokia N97 to
CONNECT via SIP to the
PBXES server to get calls

3) please be aware of the functionality i am AIMING for , my main aim is to
be able to receive
landline calls on a mobile for FREE ... i have successfully managed to use
my mobile to
connect to voipfone via 3g and wifi with great quality calls , I guess if i
can forward for
free the sipgate landline number to voipfone i then essentially have a free
landline on a mobile
...yes ? yes ? (except for cost of data)
Also I ould liek teh voipfone to multiple call both a grandstream 2020 and a
mobile which
is logged in

Phew , sorry is that clear ? at all ?

If I understand what you want correctly then yes and yes.

Try this for starters, you may have sussed some of this out yourself but we'll go from
first principles.
In pbxes create your Sipgate trunk
Trunk Name: the 6 digit Sipgate username (usually the last 6 digits of the phone number)
User Name: Again, the Sipgate username
Password: the 8 character Sipgate password (mixture of numbers and upper-case letters, not the one for logging onto the website)
leave all other fields alone

Create an inbound route
Trunk: the same name as your Sipgate trunk (6 digit username)
Regular hours destination: select the "SIP URI" radio button and input 12345678@sip.voipfone.co.uk
substituting your 8 digit voipfone account number.

That's it, anyone dialling the Sipgate geographic number should ring whatever device(s) are
logged on to voipfone. Not that in this instance no device is required to be defined as
an extension in pbxes, we are calling via a sip address and it should find its own way to the
destination.

Not sure if this is useful to you, after all the caller could just as well be given the 056 number.

If you can define a second trunk with an account that has credit for making PSTN calls
we can develop this to call landline and mobile phones simultaneously.
Your existing voipfone account should do the trick.

MMmm i have set this up , but BEFORE and after this was set up , all calls
to the sipgate landline number
ring almost twice and dissconnect

""Not sure if this is useful to you, after all the caller could just as
well be given the 056 number.""
the 056 number aint so easy to remeber , and is not a geographocal landline
number and also
voipfone is the only company i have managed to get working via nokia mobile
, the sipagte and
voipuser just dont want to play :-)
