My Livebox went live on VOIP today. It works fine on outgoing calls but I have tried ringing the 0845 number both from my landline and my mobile and have found that does't work. BT give number unrecognised when I try and the mobile gives call failed.
Interestingly on calls from my Livebox, BT gives unrecognised International Call but my Vodafone mobile gave the CLID immediately.
I am thinking that the system may take a few days to settle in and these problems may go away.
Since I really only intend most calls from the Livebox to be outgoing (<2hrs for £0.00), this is unlikely to be a major problem even if it goes on for a time.
If you're reading this Orange, the Wireless & Talk may be what will keep me with you for the savings I intend making on calls. If it were only for the laptop offer, I will definitely clear off after the lock-in.
Just to say that last Monday I seemed to have a few problems with the Livebox seeming to run very slowly, I changed over to my Netgear router to establish the line was OK which it was. I then decided to do a factory reset on the livebox. Anyway to start off with it came up with the cant find PPP sever problem. OK went back to the Netgear for another hour or two. Decided to play with livebox again.
Got it going OK. (I wonder if it helped to leave it longer to forget what had upset it?)
Then I decided to check the VOIP line again & it had decided it would receive incoming calls from my BT line. Now whether during Monday, someone from Orange had done something, or whether the reset of the livebox had made something work properly, I know not BUT it now receives incoming calls should someone be daft enough to ring it.
When Orange put a larger selection of geographic numbers in the website, I'll change from the 0845 but there seems little point as I am quite happy to have my BT line for the incoming calls.
