I have a 2talk account with 2 lines (in different calling areas) and would like to use them on a single phone.
I've done a LOT of hunting, and have seen various suggestions, but either a) I am wording my search terms incorrectly, or b) it just can't be done. I refuse to believe that b) is the answer! I have tried searching this forum, but "ata 2 sip 1 FXO" returns so many (irrelevant) results that I figure it may well be simpler to just ask :)

I currently run through a SPA3102 ATA, and have been looking for an ATA that will support two SIP lines. In other forums, people suggest a PAP2T, but that is unacceptable, as it appears to separate the lines so that each line must use a different FXO port - is this correct? I don't want to have to use two phones.

I have read somewhere that it is possible to configure my PSTN line as the second SIP number and dial out with @gw0 but I have not been able to get that to work. Perhaps I am simply doing it wrong! Dialplans are not my forte.

I would really appreciate any suggestions for appropriate hardware, or help in making my 3102 do the job.

Ah, the idyllic rural life . . .

no cellphone reception
no UHF TV reception
no ADSL

I'm surprised I still have my sanity!

The answer is b) it can't be done.

The SPA3102 is about a 12 year old device now and has been EOL for probably 5 years. If you want multiple line capability my recommendation would be an Obihai ATA. Obihai was actually started by the guys who created the Sipura SPA range of products that became the SPA3102). I have a review on here of one.

Do you simply want to use to the two numbers to have local calling in the two areas they are in?

If so, no requirement for special hardware, 2talk has all the features built in.

Just go to 'Line Manager' and then under that look for 'Geographic Rules' (or something similar). Then what you do is say for 'Auckland' use 093201234, for 'Christchurch' use 033204321. Then when you dial numbers for each of those LICA's it will pick the number you told it to and charge only local calling.

Then to make inbound calls work just simply have one of your numbers registered and forward the unregistered to that one.

Very simple set up.
