Default Sipgate, not delivering a relaible service here....

Well I've been with sipgate now for a few months and I have to say that my
personal experience of the service is not a good one. It's been plagued
with lost calls, both outgoing and incoming and last night I had three
silent calls close together, which appeared to have no-one there at the
other end, but after I logged into their website, the calls turned out to be
my sister trying to call me. Three calls she made, and all three were
silent both ways. Hey and I'd better not mention that crazy voicemail too
much, it continues to talk to me in German/English/Male/Female all at the
same time : (

Cant they be bothered to sort out their problems, or are they just not able
to? Does anyone know if I can claim my credit back from them, as I am
wanting to move to another company who (hopefully) can deliver a better
service and I have around 22 quid on sipagte last time I looked.

Can you give more details of the equipment used at both ends..? Were the
calls Sipgate to Sipgate or were the incoming calls from the PSTN..? Are
you or the other person using softphones (PC's) or hardware, i.e. IP
phones or ATA's with landline phones plugged in..?

Lack of audio and one-way audio are more often than not the reault of
misconfiguration, particularly port forwarding. I had this problem when I
first started until I figured out that my router was not compatible. After
I changed it I had no major problems at all.

I agree about the voicemail, but despite its language difficulties it does
work, in that it saves messages if you're offline or can't get to the
phone.

Please let me know if you want to do any direct tests, I may be able to
help once I know the hardware/software situation.

Your experience is not unusual. If you look among the postings on this
group you would be pressed to find a good word about Sipgate other
than their free geographic numbers. However, if they don't work a lot
of the time what use are they.
I spent a great deal of time trying to get my ATA going with Sipgate -
it really wasn't worth it.
I have just gone on to voipfone.co.uk.
I set up the ATA with the settings they recommend and it worked
straight away. They have a good reputation for reliability on this
group. They have a good voice mail system, call waiting and caller
display as standard.
You can choose to have a geographic number for £2/month.
However, if you choose to have an free 0506 number then that can be
dialled for the same cost as a standard geographic number on 18866 -
most of my friends have that so no problem.

They work 99% of the time for me. Stefan and Dex will have you believe
it's because I have a connection with them or even work for them (I don't)
but even if I did, do they supply a separate working network for just a
few people..?!

> I spent a great deal of time trying to get my ATA going

I'd be interested to know what problems. Most issues are down to
misconfiguration. I had almighty problems with Sipgate when I first
started, it took me weeks to find out it was my router that was
incompatible, after I replaced it I had no major problems at all, that was
a year ago. Yes, Sipgate have had more than their fair share of troubles
with outages, etc (several of which were caused by problems elsewhere in
the network, not within Sipgate) but other systems aren't faultless
either, despite what Stefan says about Vonage..!

A lot of people, myself included, don't like non-geographic numbers. Are
these 0506 numbers charged at the same rate as a normal landline number
from BT or Telewest *without* using any callthrough service..?

So tell me more and I may be able to help. Like I said, most problems stem
from misconfiguration. I had terrible problems with them but I persevered
and sorted most of them and I have a reasonably reliable service, and
despite what some would have you believe I don't work for them.

TW charge exactly the same as BT. However, I thought that the charges
were a little more on BT than stasndard landline. Charges are approx
5/2/1 p/min.

So how come I don't seem to have the problems you have..? Sipgate don't
operate a separate network for people who complain about them and those
who don't, you know..! Believe me, if I were having the problems you and
others seem to have, I *would* be shouting from the rooftops, but I'm not,
so I don't.

Dex, you know by now that I don't take other people's opinions as gospel.
I go by personal experience. My personal experience of Sipgate is that
while they have problems, they are still a reasonably reliable provider
and I estimate that a good 90% plus of the problems that I personally have
had (yes, I have had them) have been through equipment misconfiguration.

You feel differently, that's fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
However, you and Stefan are becoming stuck in the same groove you are
accusing me of being stuck in, the difference being you are refusing to
acknowledge that not everyone shares your oipinions.

You are no longer a Sipgate customer, so you cannot comment on their
current level of service. Go and use Vonage, Voipbuster or whoever you
want, sing their praises if you like, *I don't care* - but *don't* keep
bleating at me because I don't share your views. You are demeaning me,
yourself and the entire newsgroup, which was set up to discuss VoIP
rationally, not slag off people or companies for that matter.

Ivor

Unlike you I take no pleasure from seeing people make fools of themselves.
You are doing just as good a job as you claim I am but it saddens me that
you feel the need to do so.

Very well put Ivor. I entirely agree with your stance on Sipgate's
services.

I have been with Sipgate for the last few months and have to agree that
the problems i had have been down to my misconfiguration.

The only problem that sipgate have had (in my eyes) was on an occasion
sipgate didn't present to the PSTN callers a 'Ring'.

If you want a VOIP setup 'out of the box' then Vonage seems ideal. I
don't want that - i want to tinker with my Asterisk PBX. Furthermore, I
won't consider Vonage due to there excessive monthly cost.

Sipgate's voicemail has been in beta for far too long now. But i feel
that excuses the odd querk - if you don't feel it's reliable enough
don't use it - it's optional!

second rate service mor elike a NO RATE service in fact that pissgate are
supplying to the gullible uk customers aho think theyre wonderful.

As dex says vonage are absolutely flawless, always have been,always will be
and you lot complain about paying a small amount for consistent quality
huh--go figure?

At least i DECLARE my interest in the aforementioned company unlike eyevor
the ALLEGED COVER STORY BUS DRIVER.

Switch to vonage itll be the best option once they take over the whole of
the uk voip market you will all be transferring over i guarantee you.

In fact i will give you all 10 free 0870 revenue generating numbers if you
switch now.
