Bugger, just switched to XT and it can only fav a telecom landline. Too bad most people are with orcon/vodafone(ihug)/wxc, etc.

Perhaps among people you know, most I know are telecom still. It seems to work for wholesaled ones too, just not voip ones on the ISPs own gear.

I too know of very few people who have landlines with anyone other than Telecom. Not sure why you think most people have their landlines elsewhere, but I think you are very, very wrong.

A lot of my family have moved to Vodafone Homephone wireless plus mobile broadband. As this has been promoted quiet heavily recently I would have expected a reasonable uptake on this.

I know a couple of people who tried it and went back to a real landline because of call quality and missed calls on it. Same for woosh phone, few tried it, only a couple remain, and thats because a pstn install to their flat was going to cost too much.

The issue was with Echo on wireless phone. This should no longer be happening as of a number of months back.

Thanks John
