It will be a lot easier once we are on SMPF with that carrier, which we hope for this month. Once we have that, we can do incoming calls, and once BT pull their finger out, we can move the number to VoIP. Yes, we can do presentation no VoIP in mean time whilst incoming is on PSTN.RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-79377597306284429302016-05-11T15:24:35.734+01:002016-05-11T15:24:35.734+01:00Would you be willing to do this on the Home::1T pa...Would you be willing to do this on the Home::1T package?

I don't use the PSTN number here for any purpose - other than to refer to the line. I'm wired up for receiving calls on it, and it's used as a line for calls that are free. I am happy with this arrangement, but if I wasn't, would be looking to take the number into VoIP.Phil Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07080812032624786351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-12644164382635229892016-05-10T15:02:17.992+01:002016-05-10T15:02:17.992+01:00Certainly until this is sorted we are prepared to ...Certainly until this is sorted we are prepared to enable incoming calls for customers that request this.RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-20150544213655674502016-05-10T14:52:29.346+01:002016-05-10T14:52:29.346+01:00I'm one of those waiting in the hope that this...I'm one of those waiting in the hope that this will start working.<br /><br />I know you don't offer POTS calls over lines which you provide, but as the line apparently still has to have a number, would it be feasible perhaps to offer only incoming calls? That way people like me could migrate our lines to you as we want to, keep our network connections up and cater for those few people who still call us via POTS.<br /><br />Then when BT work out how to get the magic smoke into this particular bit of the infrastructure, one could do the port-and-renumber bit without affecting anything else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-64093974346077000292016-05-06T23:03:12.504+01:002016-05-06T23:03:12.504+01:00BT assume that ADSL/VDSL lines have a telephone nu...BT assume that ADSL/VDSL lines have a telephone number associated with them, to identify the line.<br /><br />Kelly engineers, working on behalf of BT Openreach, assume that any pair without a voice service on it is spare and they can reassign it to someone else, they don't check if there's ADSL/VDSL on the line.

If you want a proof of concept raise an OR DSO on this at the weekend. (I find DSO office very helpful on Saturdays( if your nice to them )) they can push it through manually and prove it can be done outside of computer says no! . If you then want to beat BT you have a working example. Note we gave up on this as a product as it was massivly time consuming as you are going againt the computer everytime.

It seems to me if people are converting to voip they will not have any need for a copper phone service any more.<br /><br />I am completely un-surprised by this behavior. I hope we see more fttp rollouts by smaller independent isp's and Openreach with its legacy sweaty copper simply fades into history.Chaz6https://www.blogger.com/profile/01608429060172185449noreply@blogger.com
