PAP2-NA Working with Gizmo!

Picked up a Linksys PAP2-NA on ebay the other week, got the phone in the mail yesterday. Wasn’t expecting that I would have much luck but I was wrong. Very easy to set up with GizmoProject, http://gizmoproject.com a softphone based service, similar to skype.

The settings used to get PAP2 going with Gizmo were:
In admin view, under the tab Line 1 (or whatever line you decide to use)

Under “SIP” Tab

Stun Enable: yes
Stun Server: stun01.siphone.com

Under “Line 1” Tab

Proxy: proxy01.sipphone.com
Outbound Proxy: proxy01.siphone.com
Display Name: [whatever you want to show up on caller id?)
User ID: [GizmoProject Username]
Password: [GizmoProject Password]
Dial Plan:
*xxT|*1xx|[39]11|<411:18315551212>S0|<:1831>[2-9]xxxxxxS0|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx|[2-9]xxxxxxT|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011x.T
Save!

I got a regular phone plugged in to the PAP2 everything that is in a standard phone line is basically there. Caller ID Dispaly, Call Waiting, 3 Way Calling. On the other hand some differences which are kind of annoying. Instead of being routed to a ‘411’ call center or any local 411 service you land up calling tellme. Which serves nothing similar to ‘411’. I’m unsure of how ‘911’ is handled, and hopefully they came up with some better solution than tellme. Other than that, call quality is equal to standard telephone line but a lot cheaper!
