I use a SIP provider for the landline at home. When on vacation I want to be able to make outbound calls with my landline number. I know this can be done, but I have no idea how. Does anyone here have some pointers for required hardware, software and configuration?

I use this.

I have Ms VoIP as my provider. $1 month per line and 1 cent per min.

I have a grand stream sip adapter... Configured with my providers info and my creds. Phone can plug into it. Works just fine. Plus you can use any sip client to connect to the same line from mobile or PC.

Also, my old house had pots lines in every room. I took my grand stream and wired it into the house, not a phone. So I can plug regular phones into any of the original outlets and it works as it directly connected to the grand stream. I have 4 regular phones all running over original wires into the grandstream using sip

Does that let you have a voicemail?

I've long wanted a cheap way to setup a phone, when rung, picks up and plays a message telling the caller to email me. But everything I found for this is wayy more expensive than $12/yr

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It does. Or can just send the recorded message to your email as a .wav attachment.

Got a link to Ms VoIP?

Googling it just gives info on Skype shutting down

voip.ms

I've used them for well over a decade, I even sent the CEO an email when I had a CS rep telling me I couldn't do something I knew I could. He sorted it out within the hour.

Thanks. Unfortunately that site doesn't load.

Maybe you can email the CEO asking them to check their site on tor browser in strict mode?

Voip dot ms employs a ton of countermeasures versus skript kiddies as voip fraud is a severe problem. You are unlikely to have much luck with Tor Browser. I have to ask them to take my boring data center IP off their greylist every time I want to add cash to my balance.

Sounds like they don't know how to do security, then

Are the rest of their engineers so incompetent, or only their security department?

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yah, I'm not going to do that.
