Sipgate and ringing tones

#1 (**permalink**) 08-18-2005, 03:14 PM

Anyone know why for the past few weeks I never get a ringing tone when I
call a UK number - the first thing I know is when the person I've called has
answered the phone or the voicemail kicks in?
Thanks
Roger.

It could be that you are using a codec in your phone that their server
dont support or could it just be another problem to add the the long
list of existing sipgate problems

So more VOIP problems? Oh dear, it is not going to appeal to the
majority of the people if they get problems like this.
