795114 2009-07-25 07:34:00 I'm thinking of buying a Linksys AG310 and use it with the VOIP service from 2talk.

Since 2talk have free calling within its network, I'm planning to use 2talk's free account and whoever also has an account will be able to call me for free right?
Basically I just want a real phone connected for people to call me so I don't have to have a computer on with skype running all the time...

So are my assumptions correct and also how does AG310 perform? for those who have one. Not very experienced with VOIP, be nice to hear some opinions!

795115 2009-07-25 08:34:00 I've got an AG310 for the same purpose but the service is from Xnet. The device itself is fine, I've never had any issues with it and it was easy to set-up. beeswax34 (63)

795117 2009-07-25 12:11:00 If you've got the "Free account" it comes with an 028 number, so when people call it its charged at Cell rates. You can get a "Free Account", then add a local calling number for $7 per-number, so normal people can ring you at their regular Local-calling rates :) Chilling_Silence (9)
795118 2009-07-25 12:42:00 I'll still have my normal landline for the majority of the calls.
The people I'll receive calls from will probably be using softphone to dial my 028 number, might move onto the $7/month local number in the future. Thanks for the tip.

Now if only I can find how to setup AG310 from the 2talk website...

795119 2009-07-25 14:16:00 http://blog.2talk.co.nz may have pointers, otherwise email support [at] 2talk [dot] co [dot] nz, OR call 028 89 4357 during business hours and you'll speak with JD who does their tech support. Chilling_Silence (9)
795120 2009-07-26 12:33:00 Thanks for the link, I've wrote an email directly asking about supported hardware just to be safe.
Since I'm on xnet can I use my own AG310 if I decide to use their VOIP service? or do they always issue their locked ones?
Also can anyone recommend any Window Mobile SIP softphone softwares? Just a bit curious about this whole VOIP experience!

795121 2009-07-26 21:33:00 Xnet always issue locked ones AFAIK.
Yes, 2talk will work with anything that supports the SIP standard.
No recommendations, just search for "Windows Mobile SIP Free" on Google, or something along those lines ;) Bear in mind if you try and do a call over 3G, it'll probably suck.

795122 2009-07-27 01:28:00 I use a Linksys PAP2T on 2talk with a $15 / month account as a second line. Great way of getting familiar with VOIP.. paulw (1826)
795123 2009-07-27 07:33:00 Its worth noting:
You can sign up for a "Free" Account with them (Giving you an 028 number to use), and then add a local calling number for $7 a month, and you only pay for your calls as you use them. Its the same as going with the $15 plan but without the bundled minutes ;) Useful if you don't call out much...
