Just moved onto the 2talk500 plan and making calls has been great. However, I can't seem to receive calls from 0800 based numbers - if thats at all possible (thats what my limited experience has put it down to).

My 2talk number is Christchurch based and I am using a Linksys SPA 2102 with 2talks recommened firmware version. I have gone through and checked all the 2talk settings.

First instance: My brother in law has a telecom landline in Christchurch. I can call him fine however he can't call me. He has a small business which has an 0800 number 'linked' to his landline. Most times it goes sraight to voicemail, other times, it has just rung once and when I pickup, theres nothing but silence and I get a voicemail message.

Second instance: Called the IRD and the wait time was too long, so I prompted to use their automated call back service. I have had the phone ring on 3 occaisions when they were meant to call me back, it rings once, I pickup and theres silence. I then get a voicemail msg which has the IRD automated voice recorded.

Anyone have this issue or know whats going on?

Thanks,

Shane
