Hi There,

I'm considering changing to Orcon for their Unlimited VDSL plan.  This is my current set up...

 

  • Naked ADLS with xNet
  • 2 VOIP Numbers with Conversant
  • A Static IP Address
I understand that the Orcon Unlimited plan comes with 1 VOIP number so I would potentially move one of my numbers over.  I can see on the back of the modem that they supply that there are 2 jacks for phone lines (Netcomm NF4V).

I've been told by sales that I would have to purchase a second plan to run 2 VOIP numbers!???  Surely this can't be the case.

So a couple of questions...

     

  1. Am I able to utilise the second phone jack on the modem or does Orcon have it locked down?
  2. If the modem is locked down, as I suspect it will be, can I run my existing VOIP switch or does Orcon block the ports I would require?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers

They are correct, we don't currently offer a "naked" sip service you can purchase separately.

You can however use your own ATA behind Genius and connect it to another SIP provider, I would suggest setting it to use port 6000 rather than the default 5060 so that our built in SIP service doesn't interfere.
