Can you configure VoIP settings on the Vodafone router THG3000?

[Alex1770]

I would like to set up my Vodafone router to work with a pre-existing VoIP account, but I can't see how to get to any configuration options.

My use case is that I have an existing traditional (POTS) phone, and an existing VoIP account (with Andrews and Arnold) and I'd like to be able to plug my phone into a TEL socket on my Vodafone router (THG3000).

I could achieve a similar-ish effect by porting my landline telephone number (the one that's currently on A&A VoIP) to Vodafone, but I'd prefer not to.

Simple answer - no.

OK, thanks anyway.

A possibility would be an ATA or a voip phone programmed to your A&A account. Not all bad news, the service would likely be much better than digital voice anyway.

[Alex1770]

Yup, this is a possible fallback option, though it takes up an ethernet slot - very annoying as I'm currently using all 4 - and requires another piece of permanently powered equipment (and it obviously costs too, though this isn't the main objection).

[Ripshod]

You could consider a wireless voip phone. I myself use a Grandstream WP822 but the price was right when I got it. You could look at the WP810, or something from Yealink if any A&A users can confirm they work.

That's an idea. Are you happy with yours?

[Ripshod]

Dead happy. Runs 2 lines (Vodafone and my business number) without any problems. Range is fantastic. There's one heck of a load of settings with this one, so not recommended for the beginner - too much to get wrong 😁

The only feature I'm really interested in is an anti-spam filter akin to what we had when that number was a landline. (Caller would have to leave a message to get past the filter. If their number is added to the whitelist then they don't have to do that a second time.)

[Ripshod]

If the spam filter is part of A&A's service it should carry over to any device you use(?).
