Wonder if anyone has any ideas about this , got a netgear TA612V connected
via sipgate, with a binatone dect phone connected to it.
all works perfectly, spent 40mins on the phone over the weekend with perfect
2 way quality!, but for some reason every few hours the phone rings for
about 2 seconds then stops! , and on the phone the caller id shows my home
number.
i'm going to try another dect phone on the line just to see if theres
anything strange with the way the Ta talks to the phone!?
but just was wondering if it's just me and my phone!

Have you checked to make sure that there are no voicemail messages?
I know that some phones / TA's don't handle Message Waiting indicators very
well, and ring the phone a couple of times, rather than lighting the light,
or displaying the icon.

I've heard of similar problems with the Netgear box, have you asked
Sipgate support..?

havn't asked sipgate yet, have taken out my binatone e3300 phone and
plugged in a BT synergy 3105 and so far in 6 hours it hasn't done it,
so maybe something wierd with the way the binatone phone reacts to the
netgear box!
will leave the bt phone overnight to see if i does it, if it doesn't
i'll just not use the binatone phone!

I've had a problem with constant ringing (not intermittant though) using the
TA612V and Sipgate. It was a faulty phone adaptor supplied with the Netgear
box. Once I replaced that all was well. Somebody else on this group (Ivor?)
reported a similar fault once I believe.
By the way, does your TA612V drop off for a few seconds every now and then,
preventing outgoing calls? Aparently it's a known fault which is due to be
fixed by new firmware.

the constant ringing i get if i plug a non dect corded phone in, tried 2
different phones but got the same thing, plugging in a dect phone's ok, i
just assumed you had to run it with a dect phone!
well so far swapping my binatone phone for a bt one seems to have cured the
intermittant ring!?

yup, the orange light flashes but seems to be only for a few mins, i only
make 2 or 3 calls a day if that so i probably wouldn't notice it!
SP> Otherwise, I agree with you it's a great set-up.
yup, seems to work for me, used 40 mins over the weekend, no drop outs
perfectly quality, takes a while to connect tho, both when you are phoning
out and in, but once you are used to that it's ok, am quote pleased as i've
only got a 1mb down 100k up connetion which i thought might be a problem
i've only really had it running for a few days, but so far it seems stable,
the idea of this is to save myself 10.99 a month by cancelling the ntl phone
line (i've got cable broadband) when i'm happy with it!

Try getting a replacement PSTN connection adaptor. ISTR some of these were
shipped with a capacitor wired incorrectly.
Phone rings for 2 secs for no reason?!
