<title>[VoicePulse] Has VoicePulse stopped developing new features?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20745316</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello!

I've been with VP for 2.5 years or so now and overall, the service is just great.  However, there are a few features that I wish they would add/update and I haven't seen anything new added at all during that time (other than the mandated E911, of course).  I was curious if anyone knows if they plan to start developing/updating/adding new features sometime in the near future. 
 
Any thoughts you might have would be great!  I look forward to hearing them.  

Thanks!
Rae]]></description>

<title>[Unlock]  Disable feature (star) codes on CYT devices</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20745353</link>
<description><![CDATA[Disable feature (star) codes on CYT devices 

Dear Gurues

I'm still fighting this one.

My unlocked IP-8100 set uses the same dial plans as all other CYT devices. 

I cannot find the way to make every dialed call be sent to the provider instead of being used as a feature code on the phone. That causes the phone to intercept the *xx numbers, and therefore I cannot use any feature offered by the ITSP.

This is the digit map I'm using:
[349]11|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx|[2-9]xxxxxxT|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011x.T|*x.T|x.T

But the *x.T is not passing the numbers starting with * to the provider.

On my other CPE, a PAP2 v1, I have [x*][x*].+ as the dialing plan, and it works flawlessly, passing everything.

Any clue on how to set a CYT device to pass everything that is dialed to the voice provider?

Thanks so much,

The Doc]]></description>

<title>[General] The new PAP2 v2.0</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16514227</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just bought a vonage pap2, took it home to unlock it and to my suprise, it is a new device. Best Buy has these for $59 and gives you a $50 Gift Card in return - so I bought a few and I just got back from BestBuy and here is my experience.

I got one off the shelf and went to the register. It rang up as $59.99 and tax brought it up to $64.64. They asked for my phone number, which is in the system because they want your info. Then they gave me a $50 Gift Card and I walked out the door. I came back in and got another and applied my GC for a total of $14.64 and got another GC. I did this a few more times and now I have 4 and a spare $50 GC. I used my old phone number twice and my new phone number twice (since both are in the system) and didn't have a problem using the phone number multiple times.

All four of mine are using a different serial number scheme than the last set of PAP2s I've bought. These serials are CH911F50xxxx whereas the others were FH900Exxxxxx or FH900Fxxxxxx.

These also say they are V2.0. After opening it up, I no longer see the ESS chip processing this thing, it is a TI TNETV1015ZDW. It also doesn't have the MX29LV081 holding the programming, it now has a Spansion 29GL064M90TA (IR4)(TSOP 48). It also has a pre-populated serial connector and a JTAG interface but I don't know if either are operational.

The other interesting thing is it has a reset button!! I am guessing, and this is only a guess, that it is the PAP2T branded to Vonage. I unpacked the device and there was a sticker over the ports saying only to use the enclosed power adapter. I looked at the label and it is marked for the RTP300, WRTP54G and PAP2 V2.0. This made me curious. After turning it on and finding the IP via my router, I went to the login and it looked the same as the RTP300 (I don't have a WRTP54G) and I used the admin/admin and lo and behold, it worked and is using the same WEBCM and java progress bar as the RTP300. The firmware version is 1.00.13. So after seeing all this, I know this won't unlock the same as the other PAP2s. It's a different unit entirely, from the hardware to the firmware. This it might be unlocked the same as the RTP300/WRTP54G using the java exploit.

 The Von@ge box is just like the old unless you look at the white label where it says the model no. It will say "PAP2 v2.0" and the serial will be in this new series. There is no reference to a PAP2T, but my guess this is one branded to Vonage, again - just my guess.

I don't have a camera right now, but I've dealt with most of the Linksys/Sipura products, and this is a totally new design!

I just did a ROM dump on this and it is 4Megs, unlike the other PAP2s that are 1Meg. It also is in the same ROM layout as the RTP300 and also uses LZMA compression.

The screws to open this are no longer a phillips screw driver, but a T9 security torx.

You can also download the firmware update at:
"http://HTTPCONFIG.Vonage.NET/pt-11.4.0-r060426-1.00.13-r060426.img"

I should have more info in the coming days....]]></description>

<title>TMobile@Home Review</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20706463</link>
<description><![CDATA[Went down to TMobile today and purchased (I was the first one they'd sold one to) a Linksys @Home router.  Here's what one days worth of use has shown:

1.  Linksys router is easy to setup.  Has typical Linksys features like QOS, DMZ, port forwarding, MAC/IP blocking, and the usual standard Linksys offerings.

2.  The router is wireless G/B/Mixed with Speedbooster.  It has what looks to be a 6dbi high gain antenna on it with TNC connectors, not SMA.  The antenna unscrews so you could possibly put a larger antenna on it if you wish.  Signal strength is pretty good throughout my house.

3.  The Linksys @Home router has 2 RJ11 phone ports and space for two SIM cards in it.  I purchased one SIM card.  I'd imagine the 2nd card would be another $10/month.

4.  7 digit dialing works fast.  No long pause before the call begins.  All local and long distance calls are free for the $10/month.  International calls are pricey.  Check out the price of where you plan to call before buying.

5.  The Linksys router has 4 100mbps LAN ports and 1 WAN port along with the 2 RJ11 phone jack ports.

6.  The directions say to run the CD-ROM first.  I didn't.  I just logged into 192.168.0.1 and set it up myself.  User/password is the typical Linksys admin/admin.

7.  Negative:  the router has no feature for permanently assigning a local LAN address to a MAC address so if you want to map a drive, manually set the drive to a static LAN IP outside of the DHCP group of assigned IP addresses.

Summary:  Easy to setup.  Call quality is great.  Router works like any other Linksys router (QOS/DMZ are important to me), $10 for unlimited local/long distance is a great price.  If you already have a TMobile account (minimum $40 as I understand it to be) this is a GREAT deal.  It kills Vonage and most other VOIP providers and it kills your local telco.  Yes, you have to pay $50 for the router up front but you'll recoup that cash in 2-3 months.  And if you aren't happy with it, you have a few weeks to return it.  Just keep the box and the wrapping in case you aren't happy with it.  Well worth the trial in my opinion.

One thing I'll add:  the @Home router DOES NOT use a cell tower.  It strictly works like VOIP, sending your calls via the internet to a TMobile server which them completes the call.  The @Home router has no ability to access a cell tower.  It only uses your internet connection.]]></description>
