Not actually unlimited. The fine print says limited to 300 minutes a week. Previously it was unlimited but now they limit it because maybe some people abuse it.

Is that new information?

I've been using for a month, from what I experience, it's not as good as skype. But hell, it's free call from pc to malaysia land lines. And I always call my parents from singapore to malaysia.

Anyway, back to the main point, regarding about voipstunt, it lags by about half a sec.
It goes worst during evening and night time. Can't even hear what the receiver is talking about.

But the good thing is, it is free and easy to use. Even if pass the trial limit, creating a new account can be done within a minute.

Hey guys,
I have some questions here regarding this TMNET BBPhone.
I've just suscribed a new phone line together with Streamyx Package [(EVPRES & MELTING PORT (Triple Play)].
Their man came yesterday, and had my Streamyx Activated for me, I asked them about the Package, they told me they know nothing about that(But it's written in my "Service Acceptance Form"), and asked me to ask the agent I subscribed from.
So I called him, he said I gotta wait for an e-mail, containing my Username/Password by today, but I have got nothing yet.

So my question is..
Do I really have to wait for an e-mail containing my Username/Password, or I use the same as my Streamyx Account Username/Password?
(I tried my Streamyx Username/Account for BBPhone I downloaded from their site, doesn't work either.)
Also I have checked my Status, "Subscribe to tmnet BB phone (activated)".
It said Activated.

And out topic, hope it's okay to ask here, don't want to open another thread in another section.
I've also subscribed together with this BlueHyppo thing, anyone know know how this work? O.o

This is my bill charges from "https://tmbill.tm.net.my".

Unbilled Charges
Registration 88.00
Subscription 118.00
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE 206.00

Last Bill Date 21-Sep-2006
Today's Date 26-Sep-2006
Ain't it a bit unfair since I got it just yesterday?

Based on their webpage, you should already be subscribed to the BB Phone as the subscription price already includes it.

Subscription for Streamyx is normally based on 'pay before use'. Luckily you are having the promotion otherwise you will be paying double subscription.

I read through these forums that their BB Phone quality is the best in Malaysia (because they own the infrastructure). Why would you want to subscribe to BB Phone anyway? Their iTalk with Mobile is 10sen to fixed line and 15sen to mobile within Malaysia and some overseas calls are still much cheaper than their BB Phone.

Because I think I got ripped off by that agent's talk. =(
It says Activated there, so I should be subscribed, but I don't have any username/password to login to the software.

Anyway, bed time. =P
And thank you for the reply. =)

No one is using BB Phone from TMNET? =(

actually the username will be mail to u in ur streamyx mail ... so try checkin it at webmail.tm.net.my ... login & password same as ur streamyx ... then look out for a mail that have a login of 0154XXXXXX that will be ur login for bbphone ...

chill

The difference between skype and voip stunt is dat voipstunt offer free landline calls unlike skype but mobile phone calls cost usd 0.048 = 0.048 * 3.7 = 0.1776 or rm 0.18 sen slightly cheaper than skype; euro 0.047 = 0.047 * 4.5 = 0.2115 or rm 0.21 sen

hi peeps... anyone remember me... hehe... wow its great to see this thread is growing..... nice info.. very good...

Another VoIP provider is Gizmo project ( www.gizmoproject.com ) u can get free calls to the number that is in yr list. Quality is average and the rate is also lebih kurang. The beauty is that u can get free calls to your frens that in yr list. If yr frens in the list have setup their mobile number and home number then u can call their mobile and home number for free. Preety interesting but the only screw up is the software. Very bad. Takes forever to load. Quality is also no so good but acceptable.

The best quality i ever come across is BBPHONE, one thing for sure their rates are killer.

now its 300 min per week but your credit does not expire. After 120 days, you still can make "free" calls but at 1 US cents. By the way, anyone here can advice me which ATA device I can use?

paulmassang : there are a number of ATA that you can use. Depends on yr budget actually.

If my broadband router modem has no port at the back, does anyone know how do I conect an ATA then?

What do you mean when you say that your router modem has no port at the back. Is it one of those single ethernet port router modem? What brand and model do you have?

what is ur current modem brand??? i think u mean that u only have 1 ethernet port so u have to either use a switch or u have to but an ATA that have 2 ethernet port like aztech's V300 /v310ATA ... where as it can act as a pppoe/oa dialer so u will not have to dial up from ur pc ever again

OR

if u still like to use ur pc then u can just plug this in and u can use ur softphone wzout installing it on ur pc

yes bro, that is what I mean. Only single ethernet port. By the way, cruzzmz, where can I get this Aztech ATA and how much? Is it better that the Linksys SPA 2100 (ATA with built in router and with LAN and WAN ports)?

My modem is the ZTE ZXDSZL 831

Hello there,

Have you solved this yet?... as I am using almost the identical setup... only difference is I'm using a Aztech 600EW/Zyxel Prestige 2002 ATA (will upgrade to PAP2 when budget allows). As for the settings I know a PaP2 VoIP expert whom I can put these questions too blush.gif

I do not/will not claim to be an VoIP expert; however I do work for an ISP which makes a lot of international calls using VoIP. This is what we found:
On StreamyHex network your package must be a minimum of 512kb (could get more into this but that would be a different rant on a different thread); things to look out for would be MTU, codec the ATA uses and provider are using, setting up router to prioritize VoIP traffic; overall network traffic.
On Jaring (which is more difficult for me as we've only tested on there WiFi broadband connection); MTU is an issue which cannot be overlooked, period (phones still act funny on this link blink.gif ). Of course having a fast package helps on this one as well (being that we have the SomaWiFi router can't tinker with it's settings; I'd imagine it's already set to prioritize VoIP as it's built in).

As for the lack of ringing sound issue. I believe this maybe caused by NAT. NAT seems to mess with a lot of the capabilities of SIP/IP phones. Beyond that it's all pretty much covered in this thread... plus, having brain fart now rclxub.gif

Question for you: have you seen the new Aztech 600EWV?... and if so are they available in Malaysia yet?... if I can't go with that I'm looking at switching to a Cisco Broadband Router/w Linksys PaP2 (as Cisco owns them now) I think this may be the best implementation; especially considering the CallManager is Cisco as well... we'll see...

Per normal I am late to the party so I've copied and pasted some questions here for my quick two cents. As I understand it... all of these function are controled by:

what do you mean by 'local DID number'?

service providers selling IP FAX

linking home land line to DID or SIP account

Your 1 NUMBER service supports:
. Ring Back Tone (RBT)
. Voice Mail
. SMS
. FAX

... the CallManager (or SIP server) and the software driving it... I'll double check with my VoIP expert tomorrow. Hope I can find my way back to this thread.

For a single port router one needs an ATA with network support. From personal expeirence an example would be the Zyxel Prestige 2002 (entry level ATA player) from you router eth0=>ATA=>to pc (looked for picture; StreamyHex locked up on me, go figure)

I have tested the EVW ... i am not sure wether it is available or not yet in malaysia. Well just like other aztech modem router this fella will work a while but after some time the wireless will die ... eventhough u r dl torrent (the aztech enginner said cos i use WEP ... it will cause my wireless to drop WTF???) as for the ATA side i think also have a few bug of not able to ring ur analog phone ... as usual the aztech ppl will give u another firmware to upgrade ... and yes it will solve some of the issue but then it will coz another one to come out so change firmware again n again ... i gave up and use SMC 7908VoWBRA ...

but the standalone ATA is quite good coz it is a straight fwd device eventhough it wont ring when u call ur streamyx phone no ... grandstream ATA could do that ...

1. Local DID is ur attached no 015 or fix line no

2. For IPFax the provider & ur device must support T.38 codec which i doubtly think they wont b supporting the codec

3. No linking yet mayb due to routing & interconnect charges issues

4. if ur provider support it all can b done

I think u have to contact aztech distributor AZTechnology .. dunno the price maybe RM300++

Connection from Modem--> ATA ---> PC & Analog phone like pic below:


hell i am using streamyx and mine juz doing gr8
