Why mobile phones do not have dial-tone, we dont hear dial-tone & where as PSTN phones have dial-tone?
If you pick up a PSTN/Landline phone you hear a dial-tone but you don’t notice anything like this when it comes to mobile phones.
Please enlighten.
TIA

what im looking for is that when you call a land number it will give you a message such as ” You have reached the offices of such and such press 1 to Connect to Smith 2 to connect with Jones” But i want it to transfer to cell phones. I know it will take two or so phone lines but that’s ok… I don’t want a virtual number…I want it to use my analog number. Im searching pbx systems but i don’t even know what this feature would be called.

The modem my family has had for a while (which, I believe, we rent from Comcast) stopped working recently. My brother went out and bought a new one, but now our home phones don’t work. The new modem does not have a place to plug in a phone like the old one, so the phone is still connected (uselessly) to that one. The old one is a Touchstone Telephony Modem and the new, a Motorola Surfboard SB 5101. Is there any way to fix the phone dilemma without buying yet another modem? Any insight would be appreciated.

I am working in technology this year……still learning. Does anyone know when you have a brand new ip phone straight out of the box, set it up on pc, how do I get an ip address to enter in the phone for the extension I want? When I enter an ip address, it says ip address conflict (guessing this one is already being used). I know that when you change phones, you have to reset it and enter the ip address then. I went to configure, services, ip telephony, ip terminals, nortel, ip term status tab, this is where I am stuck. Normally I write down ip # on ext I want, but don’t know it.

The Cisco spa5xxg IP phones support DHCP OPTION 66, 159, 160, & 150. This tutorial describes how the SPA500 phone’s behavior changes depending on DHCP OPTION received.

How do you interface/connect existing Cisco 7940/7960 phones with a traditional PSTN-type solution? (XO brings you the lines on a T1 but converts it to analog, i believe.)

i.e. Nokia 6282

We have come across a situation where we would like to record some phone calls made in the workplace through our soft VoIP phones. Optimally, this software would be able to run on a computer connected to the same network without having to install anything on the server – however, I am not opposed to any solutions including the server.
We’re using Avaya VoIP phones that go directly into our network.

I need an additional handset for my voip phone. I am thinking about splitting the connection coming out of the voip device and attaching two phones. Does anyone know if that will work?

I have recently got rid of my Embarq phone service at home and have switched to ITP VOIP which is cheaper and better. However, I have read a lot about how 911 service doesn’t always work well with VOIP. Can anybody with a VOIP phone service (eg. Vonage/ITP/Lingo/etc.) who has attempted to call 911 on it before tell me if it actually worked or not?

I am starting a small business with 2 partners. They want us to buy some kind of mini PBX for a business phone system. I say–no way. Can’t we just use cell phones? Who wants a desk phone these days? There must be a way to buy a plan where you can transfer phone calls to each other, and maybe even have an auto-attendant feature, right? If anyone has used cell phones instead of a PBX, I would love to know what you used and how well it worked. Thanks!

every time i received a call I press talk then after 1 sec in cuts off.
