Hello everybody!

Has onyone managed to connect a VOIP number to their BBBS. In the next year or so, all landlines in Ireland are going away. So a modem will be no longer any use

I have a VOIP connected to my VM router that is set up as a modem as I use a ASUS router with far better control over security settings and wider Wi-FI despite being moved from a Hub 3 to a Hub 4 last week.

The VOIP is connected via a small box to a spare port in hub -> router.
The bex is connected to my mobile phone unit which has four mobile phones around the house.


I got fed up with paying for a land line and this way cost of calls are included for 9.94 pm (+ vat).

Box was 30 sterling one off payment.

What on earth is the reason to connect to a BBS ?

I would have done the same for a BT wired service as well which is basically what they offer any way except to charge more money for call etc.

Do you know the name of the box. I think I mean't to ask you before about it

I have a VOIP number that I don't use, it came as part of my BB package so tempted to try it

BT are also doing away with landline, https://www.gov.uk/guidance/uk-transition-from-analogue-to-digital-landlines

It is the one supplied by the VOIP company and the box is by GrandStream.

It has to be configured by the company to work with their systems.

Yes I am aware of that as it has been going on for around a year or so.
