Might be a bit of a tangent: use SIP at home via internet
-
I use a SIP provider for the landline at home. When on vacation I want to be able to make outbound calls with my landline number. I know this can be done, but I have no idea how. Does anyone here have some pointers for required hardware, software and configuration?
I use this.
I have Ms VoIP as my provider. $1 month per line and 1 cent per min.
I have a grand stream sip adapter... Configured with my providers info and my creds. Phone can plug into it. Works just fine. Plus you can use any sip client to connect to the same line from mobile or PC.
Also, my old house had pots lines in every room. I took my grand stream and wired it into the house, not a phone. So I can plug regular phones into any of the original outlets and it works as it directly connected to the grand stream. I have 4 regular phones all running over original wires into the grandstream using sip

You might need to set a STUN server or similar, in settings.

similarly looking for sip companies, specifically with less discrimination against the 49th state.
I never considered that Alaska might be less serviced than other states, given how removed it is. It's no Hawaii, but still.

Does that let you have a voicemail?
I've long wanted a cheap way to setup a phone, when rung, picks up and plays a message telling the caller to email me. But everything I found for this is wayy more expensive than $12/yr

For anyone that needs a guide. Should work for most providers with some configuration changes.

You can install Linphone from the Fdroid repository, and register it with your SIP provider as an extension. How you set it up as an extension will vary by the provider.

My problem has always been finding a SIP company I wanted to give my money to, for providing a land line #. For a glorious, brief, period, I was able to do this through Google Voice. But then they got rid of that feature, and I haven't found another provider who I like the looks of.
I replied to another person in this thread, but I've used voip.ms for well over a decade for a few different businesses and personal use, and they've always been responsive and responsible.

Still doesn't load. Try in tor browser

Maybe you can email the CEO asking them to check their site on tor browser in strict mode?

Voip dot ms employs a ton of countermeasures versus skript kiddies as voip fraud is a severe problem. You are unlikely to have much luck with Tor Browser. I have to ask them to take my boring data center IP off their greylist every time I want to add cash to my balance.

Are the rest of their engineers so incompetent, or only their security department?

Thank you, I'll check them out.

Yah, I'm not going to do that.
