Hi Jose,Of course, you can use this adapter as outgoing calls for your extensions.I buy this one for that purpose. You can search on internet, how to connect SPA3102 to asterisk.There is a lot of tutorial, and it is very simple.

You need a SIP proxy service. (This phone also appears to support Skype so a Skype account is another option.) There are a zillion such providers out there; I use Callcentric. Sign up for the VOIP/SIP provider of your choice, buy the outgoing minutes and/or incoming phone number(s) you need, and put the login credentials into the phone. You *may* have to open ports on your router/firewall, but most VOIP services nowadays are pretty good at making connections through a NAT.

No. From your IP PBX, you'd have to open a 3 way call from the handset that currently has the call in progress. So it would be a conf call like this.. You on extension 101 talking with the outside line, you put outside line on hold, then go to line 2 on the handset and call internal extension 102. After 102 picks up, you can execute a conference on the LCD of your handset and join everyone in. Otherwise you'd park the call and have to enter feature codes to pick it up from another extension. Realistically, SIP Trunks are absurdly cheap. We get them for $5 a line. So what you pay your local cable company $30 a line for, I'd rather have 3-4 SIP trunk lines and never have a busy or can't dial out.

I'm certainly no expert, but it appears to be limited to Skype. I don't see enough functionality in it to allow for other VOIP services.

I am trying to understand this product compared to magicjack, forgive stupid questions. Why can't a traditional phone be plugged into this to use a google voice number making magic jack necessary? From the diagram it looks like you can do that? These are the phones I have. Uniden DECT 6.0 Corded/Cordless Digital Answering System with Three Cordless Handsets (DECT2188-3)I want to give up my roadrunner internet phone, it's too expensive for something I don't use too often.

Thanks!I was concerned about the 400 box being compatable with an analog line.I have an analog switch to rout calls.I have a ADSL modem connected to the line before the switch to connect to the Internet.I am assuming that the incoming and outgoing skype calls would be digitally routed directly to and from the 400 handset by the 400 box. Using the 400 handset to place PSTN calls is convenience if it works but of little interest. I have a wireless network. I am thinking that a skype phone like the Netgear SPH200W WiFi Phone with Skype or similar might be a better solution. However, from what I have seen on the net they are not very mature.Any suggestions?

I have spent the better part of three days researching lines that will work with this. Very few phone vendors know what "analog" is. None guarantee it will work. Rumor has it that the Vonage Box VoIP Phone adaptor will work. I am willing to try it because it is the cheapest and fastest device to set up requiring an internet router, a Vonage box and a TTY, some phone cord. IP text relay is being eliminated by the FCC as of November 14, 2014. Those of us who do not hear or sign in ASL must get an alternative method of communication.

I use my external email setup through Frontier with no problems so I would think you would be able to via another carrier. I think you just extend the number of rings so your external picks up before the built in answer machine.

This is an IP phone designed to connect to a SIP phone system. It won't work with an analog phone line, nor will it connect as a PC peripheral. I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you are very familiar with the details of how your phone system works, or you validate with your IT staff.

Yes it can forward to external numbers, I do have mine configured with 4 trunks, but you do not need 2 trunks forwarding to take place. Although I have 4 trunks I only have a single outbound call route configured.

I thought this was a fail over connection. If the VOIP service your are using fails or your internet connection goes down, you still have the analog line to make and receive phone calls. You would probably want to connect this to an uninterruptible power supply so if power goes out, you still have access through the OBI110 to the analog POTS line. If you were out of the country, you could use it to make local telephone calls over the analog POTS line. IN the foreign country, you would use the VOIP line to get to the OBI1110 in the US, for example. Then dial out therefrom using the analog line. Lastly, 911 calls would then be made locally.

Yes. If you have configured a VOIP provider (or several), the device will let you choose what line/account you want to use for outbound calls. Unless you specify a default. Overall a well-designed product. Just be aware that it can't do Wifi; I had to move my Internet router to someplace next to a phone outlet in order to connect the base station.

Hi Joslen, I must say that it is a very good router. how ever I tried at first to set it up my self and was having some difficulty at first, so I had to take it to my service provider and let them put in the settings for their network. You can also request the settings over the phone, but I think it is best to take it to them because the settings are different for prepaid and postpaid. There are only two settings to change for either one the rest remains default.Must remember that when you input the information to save it otherwise it returns to the default. Let me know if you were successful.

This phone doesn't directly connect to a VoIP service, it is a standard 2-line analog phone. However, I have used this phone with OOMA for nearly a year and it has worked nicely. You need a device that will bridge from the VoIP service to analog telephone service. The caller ID features are dependent on the provider (VoIP or regular) not on the phone.

Not from what I remember about how Vonage works. If you have a SIP account with Vonage you might be able to get it to work, however you will probably be happier looking for something else that is more likely compatible. FYI, I use my 7940 with an Asterisk server.
