Can you configure VoIP settings on the Vodafone router THG3000?

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.

A&A don't offer it, but I think it's possible at the handset level (e.g., BT's trueCall). I'm now thinking I'll probably scavenge a DGA4134/5 (which has POTS sockets) and a BT8610 (which has trueCall) from ebay. That way I keep 4 LAN sockets, don't increase the number of plugged in devices (as I'm already using a cordless from landline days), and get to upgrade my WiFi as a bonus. Only question is whether Vodafone will give the PPPoE login details if I tell them this is the plan (which is in the subject of a different query I made on this forum).

I didn't realise you were considering using a third party router. Vodafone will give you your PPPoE details if you tell them that's your plan. Be sure the router you get isn't tied to an ISP account. I've not seen it done before so I don't know 100% if the technicolor router would work, but as A&A voip accounts have relatively basic settings it's likely it would - check out the manual first.

Yeah, sorry, I was exploring options. I tried to keep them in separate threads to avoid confusion, but they have now merged. Ideally I would just reconfigure the Vodafone router to my existing VoIP - that would involve the least change / new equipment - but given that's not possible, the other options are a VoIP phone (connected by ethernet or WiFi) or a different VoIP-enabled router.

Anyway, your advice has been very useful, thank you. I now understand the options much better (I think).
