Getting a Voip-in # from BetaMax in a country you don't live in?

Hi All,

Has anyone found out how to do this?

Suppose you have family in one country, and you live in a diferent
country, and would like them to be able to call you cheaply...

Regards,
Jose

All sign up to the same provider, then your calls are free...

This works perfectly ..... but only for the countries where Betamax issues
Voip-in numbers
However you will need to indicate the country of your choice as your country
during registration

I have a german Betamax number, a dutch and a french one

It worked perfectly! Thanks a lot for the tip!

PS - Can you forward incoming calls on those Betamax numbers to any
other number? I'm still trying, using the PAP2 settings, so far with
no luck, still hoping it's just something Betamax systems' will have
worked out in a few hours, as sometimes the call doesn't complete at
all, or I get a message "This user is not online at the moment" (which
is not true).

Yes, you can forwards calls, you log in on the website and then go to client
settings, then chose forward calls...

I hadn't a speciall interest in this or that country, but I had a
slight preference for UK numbers, and knew that Betamax was assigning
Voip-INs there.

So, I registered as living in the UK, and got a Voip-In number:
0560-xxx.xxxx.

Jose

Well, that's all I could get. One Euro down the drain.

I also got an 05601 number from Voipcheap.com. I raised this as another
thread but didn't get a reply from anybody saying if any of the
Finarea/Betamax providers provide a "proper" (i.e. geographic) incoming UK
number. They certainly used to.

Well, that's the same person, but it was never my name.

I didn't think it was a real name!

Had wondered where you'd gone, was all.

They used to, yes. I have a few.

It is still possible to get a 'proper' number for free and point it at the
Betamax VoIP provider.

Contact me for details if you require one.

I've not gone anywhere, but despammed.com seems to have done. Can't make
it work at all now.

Sorry, no longer available. Such a shame.

1) BetaMax says it's a Voip-In number they're selling you, *before*
you confirm you purchase.

2) Not sure what you mean by a "proper number", but you get a 0845/4,
a national number, or a regional one, at www.pimpmynumber.co.uk, and
they use SIP to forward to a Voip provider (other than Betamax, that
is).

Albeit at a cost, as far as I understand, as Betamax seems to be very
"selective" about which Voip providers they let in through SIP, which
would mean you'd have to route your incoming calls to the Vopi-In 0560
from Betamax.

Am I wrong??

There wasn't a cost.

You just entered your username and @sip.voipdiscount.com and it worked same
with the other Betamax VoIP services.

You paid nothing for the local number and no monthly fees, and no costs for
it SIP forwarding.

You can't forward from www.pimpmynumber.co.uk to Betamax via SIP.

Let me know if, and how, you manage to forward from any other provider
to Betamax via SIP - without using a Betamax Voip-In number.

Yeah, the service I use you just forward to external provider and use
VoIPStunt username @sip.voipstunt.com for example or any other of the
betamax services.

However they are no longer issuing numbers for free and charge a monthly fee
for the local number.

Does anyone know a cheap source for a geo incoming number for Spain,
Malaga/Costa Del Sol area?

The people on here who knew about it, knew about it and didn't want to
spread across the groups.

You never know they might offer similar in the future.
