Sipgate email. Is this a hoax?
TheDreamer:
The thing I liked about sipgate was no monthly fee and that I could use it send the occasional fax (which is like 0-1 times a year)
I used to have a fax machine, which I've used on VoIP...but it died many years ago, and there wasn't enough need to replace it. And, I'd rather avoid doing that.
So, any alternative(s) to sipgate that has that feature?

I liked sipgate because I could assign an extension to call my friends Skype account. I also have a sipgate uk number. They have not sent any emails suggesting UK services would be terminated.

I work for cheap international call provider, Localphone.com and we're willing to to port Sipgate numbers at cost, additionally we will waive the set up fee for any Sipgate customer that requests a USA or UK DID.
For more information please contact us at support@localphone.com and ensure to mention you are a Sipgate customer or visit www.localphone.com

I have used Sipgate for incoming and GV for calling out. It looked like a Callcentric free NY # would serve the same functions as Sipgate, until the last part of the sign up forces US/Canadian users into the e911 contract. Cost is relative to any number of things, so let's skip the argument and get to the point: Does anyone copy Sipgate's free DID with free incoming calls? (yes, Sipgate closing shop in US)
Got an IPKall DID # several years back, but let it expire. Vaguely remember some uncomfortable quirks, but don't remember any details.
Does Callcentric do web-managed voicemail like Sipgate? (I don't want voicemail attached to email.)
Obihai: Will it work to put an Obihai on a shared DSL line if the housemates already have an Ooma there (Will the systems interfere with one another)?
If I got an Obihai working (shared or separate dsl), could I port the old Sipgate number to Obihai system, and would that depend on getting some service (Callcentric or ?) ?
Any recommendations for a basic handset to use with an Obihai?

In my case, I told CallCentric that I was NOT in the US and thus did not get the E911.
This particular line is used for a fax and email account and has to credit to make regular calls, thus will never need to make 911 calls.
If you feel comfortable about not having 911 service, I would answer that question so that you are not required to have 911. 911 service is great for landlines that don't move from the address of record, or for a device that does move with the caller such as a cellphone. Having 911 service on equipment that the caller might be at the same location or 1/2 way around the world is NOT very useful.
Let's assume that you have 911 on the number and it lists 123 Maple Ave. You are traveling and using Voip and have to call 911. You use Voip, it calls 911 back home and displays 123 Maple Ave. You get disconnected and they call you back. Lets also assume that the 911 call DOES get to you at your foreign location. You explain that you are not at home and that you need help in New Your City. They will probably send the call to the 911 system serving that area BUT I would bet that they also dispatch someone to your 123 Maple Street address also. Anything that involves a hangup and/or odd circumstance is going to make them want to roll a car to ensure you are not someone who wrenched the phone out of a victims hand and trying to send the police on a wild goose chase far from where the attack is really happening.
It may sound far fetched but I listen to police calls and there are many 911 calls that are taken seriously because something didn't sound right.
