Wish I'd tried SIP years ago.Reviewed by C. Joly, 2010-03-15
The first one Amazon sent me didn't work. Amazon had a working
replacement to me in four days.
I wish I had looked into SIP years ago. It's a bit more work than
going through a commercial VOIP provider: you have to configure the
thing yourself for your SIP provider and you have to buy your own
DID phone number if you want in-coming calls, but it's much easier
than you think, and voice quality is far superior to any commercial
VOIP I've used recently. It's been years since I've used a POTS
line, but I think quality is comparable and it's far cheaper.
I have two complaints. 1.) It uses a wall-wart. The prongs snap in,
so it may be possible to buy an cable. 2.) The admin UI seems like
a step down from other Linksys devices I've used. The way to
upgrade the firmware is particularly egregious. However, like I
said, setup is very easy, and once it's done, you never have to
come back here.
Power AdopterReviewed by C. Goudar, 2010-03-14
I was more curios to buy and install voip. When I got this device, I found power adopter is new type that I have seen. I was unable to hook it up to power. one end of power adopter that needs to be plugged in wall power socket is not complete. Something is missing and am not able to connect to power. Can anybody explain what to do?
Great ProductReviewed by Joseph, 2010-03-10
When I first got this product I was amazed at how small it was, but despite it's small size it's quite an amazing product. Though, the CD documentation that came with it didn't really help with installation, but it wasn't too hard to set it up to work. Now with Google Voice + SIP Gate + Sip Sorcery I can get free calling through this!
LinksysPAP2T-NAReviewed by Geego, 2010-03-07
The LinksysPAP2T has a lot to configure but fortunately what needs
to be done to get on line and making calls, is fairly easy. The
audio quality on phone calls is hardly distinguishable from PSTN
when set for G711. I was pleasantly surprised at the small
footprint of the device as well. These are the pros.
The cons? None to date.
Works great with Gizmo5/Google VoiceReviewed by S. Emmons, 2010-02-27
This is our primary telephone, using Gizmo5 and Google Voice bridged together. We replaced our Vonage device with this, and now our phone bill is less than $1 per month. Initially I had some issues until I discovered that AT&T ISP was blocking the SIP port, but after changing the settings and using a different port, we've had no further problems. Setup screens are tricky and require pretty good telephony knowledge to configure with your particular SIP provider.
