How many VoIP profiles on your dashboard?

[ritz]

Got the VF voip service provisioned correctly today and now I have two voip profiles showing on the VF router dashboard, instead of one previously. I used to have only one profile before. What do yours show?

[ritz]

Anyone?

I wonder if others see 1 or 2? The working one would be named voiXXXXX, the other profileX.

L2 support (much better than chat) re-provisioned the voip service, which deleted profile 2 (unregistered).

Can someone explain in simple terms what this really means ?

Plugging in my old DECT phone to Tel 1 or 2 will not give me FM quality correct ?

This is really the the wrong thread for that question. (which you have already asked multiple times, but have been unhappy with the answers because they have not agreed with your belief)

FM quality is meaningless in this context, it means frequency modulation so has nothing to do with DECT/VoIP communication.

It is used because people are used to the improvement FM radio had over AM, so gives them a comparison they can understand.

Ha yes of course that's the reason ! All I know is a friend who has called me on his BT digital voice LANDLINE phone on my mobile phone and indeed the quality was FM / HD quality whatever term makes sense to Joe Public. If he calls me on my current landline fiber connected landline I will not hear him in the same quality unless I was also with BT is this correct ?

Not knowing which codec BT use there's no way to say. With vf if you use your own voip phone there's a choice of three. As far as the codec vf's router uses it's anybody's guess as it's locked down. Maybe something to see in the log file but it's probably correct to say it's likely the lowest bandwidth as vf roll out voip to the lowest tier now. 

BT could even be using their own proprietary codec, so without the info who can tell.

As you are now on Vodafone you can soon answer that question yourself.

All I can say is that with a high quality digital phone at your end, connected into the TEL sockets on the Vodafone router the quality will be much better than what could be achieved on the PSTN.

Have you managed to get your old (how old?) DECT phones working on the Vodafone router yet?

[fiberfan]

Nope as I'm still waiting for the adapter to arrive from vodafone and another from ebay. have to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday now

I'll report back when the fun begins or not knowing my luck 🙃
