Re: free VOIP service with Fax?Hello, It is possible however we do not guarentee it will work. The problem is we don't always control the termination path so basically if it is compressed at any point it will not work. sandro H. » www.acanac.ca | |

Re: free VOIP service with Fax?So if it's failed, will the system send an alert to fax machine then we can know it's failed? or we just don't know if the fax is sent successfully or failed? | |

I don't see free VOIP on the site. Is that just PC-to-PC?

Re: free VOIP service with Fax?The free Voip was a promo that we were running here at DSLreports. We are currently running a few other promos through Google. Just type Voip on the Google search engine and a few of our promos should show up. I would put a link here, but I don't want to violate any term here. Best Regards, Paul » www.acanac.ca | |

Free VOIP!!! - what's the catch??I have been looking for a VOIP provider and I am glad I can get the chance to try one for free.
But, where is the catch??.. Only termination in Toronto, means I can only do local calls from Toronto. How much if I want to add unlimited Canada?? | |

I currently subscribe to Bell Sympatico and they are shaping in the evenings. I have a free trial account from Acanac and from what I can tell they do not. The speeds have been consistent at 500kb/s. | |

Is Acanac able to sustain this non-shaping indefinitely or are they at Bell's mercy on this one? | |

Quality of Service?I was once of the early adopters of VOIP 3 years ago. However, I noticed that whenever I downloaded files at high bandwidths, the voip service would deteriorate significantly. I know technology has advanced now, how is the quality now? | |

Re: Quality of Service?Hello, There has been some changes in technology but it should work. We have clients using ATA's we had over 3 years ago and they are still working without a problem. In the end you still need to have enough bandwidth for your Voip call. Some of the newer units can shape your bandwidth and would prevent downloads from affecting your calls.

Great campaignI have always been interested in VOIP, but in the past I could never trust the quality. This free VOIP service is a great way to allow customers to try before they commit. Looking forward to sign up to the program. | |

!!! D-link vta-cv voip adapter always disconnected!!!I have two unlocked d-link vta-cv voip adapters. One is 1.00.7 firmware and one is 1.00.8 firmware, both are unlocked.
I setup the same voip number (647********) and related settings in the two adapters, all are working fine, all can receive calls and can call out.
But after a few hours connecting, both of them will disconnect. the power light and internet lights are solid green, line 1 and line 2 will be black(no signal at all), i have to power on again then everything is ok again.
Maybe the xml configuration file is a little wrong, how can i make it working all the time? If i remove the acanac voip settings from the d-link adapter, everything is fine and other voip phone will be connected for all days and nites. I do think something is wrong wiht the xml file of acanac voip phone.
Can someone help me to solve that? I tried several nites to figure it out but failed.
Need help! | |

Re: Help!!!Hello, Thank you for using our services. Unfortunately this sounds like there is iether something wrong with your ATA or you are behind a firewall that is acting up. If so try and put your ata in front of the firewall. If you do not have one you may need to use another ata. Best Regards, Sandro H. » www.acanac.ca | |

Yeah, the software is pretty good. After a while you might get annoyed with having to make a call from your computer but you could then either use a bluetooth setup (dongle/headset) or use an ATA (a little device that plugs into the internet on one side and plugs into your normal telephone on the other). | |

Some of these adapters allow you to use them on any PC software (i.e. MSN messenger voice chats, yahoo chats,etc). If that is the case then it should work through the VOIP software you can install on your phone. However, I recommend just getting an ATA adapter (like the Linksys PAP2) as they aren't much more and a lot easier to use (since you don't need your computer on) | |
