McGee: Any new device into the country has to be accredited or telepermited by Chorus / Telecom.

See the bottom of your current modem and it should have the greens sticker with the tick.
From memory it costs some horrendous amount to get them telepermited.

Ah, I read your "won't be telepermitted" to mean that it will not be because it cannot be.

According to the Chorus telepermit site, its already got it:
279/11/006 AVM FRITZ!BOX 7390 DSL Gateway/Router

Thought it might as its pretty similar to the 7340 I checked and they are about $300 AUD though.

7390's are A$259 at a retail store I was looking in today. Presumably you'd be able to pick them up cheaper online.

I actually picked up a 7390 and Fritz!fone while in Aussie on the weekend for some testing. Great product, and the Android and iOS softphones are great - simply install the app and it fully auto configures itself giving you a working phone for your VoIP line when you're conencted via WLAN in your home.

Can you see any benefit to connecting to the fritzbox for the voip line rather than connecting directly to your voip provider (e.g. 2talk)?

I'm currently using CSIPSimple which integrates with the native android dialer and is working well so far. The benefit of this setup is that I can use it wherever I have wifi access (with port 5060 access) rather than just at home.

The main ones are the ability to access to shared phonebook across all extensions and can directly call other extensions hooked up to the Fritz!box. You also have WLAN QoS on the call.

The app isn't as good as Bria, but has a slightly different market.

I read some older posts which said if you are using more than one device, then registering the device directly with the voip provider will mean only the last device receives calls (or is this different depending on VFX/2talk?)

If this is the case and only the last registered device receives incoming calls, then having the fritzbox registered with the Voip provider and voip devices connected to the fritxbox with the fritxbox deciding which devices to ring would be another advantage for me to consider right?

You should only have one device registered unless you use 2talk's one number feature. I only have one number registered in the Fritz then it rings both cordless phones together.

Yeah, so with 2talk you can have multiple SIP devices registered simultaneously using the one number feature (logging in as number-1, number-2, etc), but on VFX you can't I don't think?

In which case having SIP devices registered with the fritzbox and the fritzbox registered with VFX would be the way to go.

You can't register devices with the Fritz!box as it's not a SIP proxy. You either connect analogue or ISDN phones to the internal ATA or use DECT handsets.

Yeah I think that would be the way to go I just tested creating a SIP extension in the Fritz and that seems to work so I would give all of your SIP devices an ext through fritz then they can all ring or just some of them.

So from your testing, the android client is connecting as a DECT handset?

He is wrong Blair I just did it goto Telephony create new device. Then Telephone next choose IP/WAN phone enter password done. Configure the SIP phone with your settings.
