Remote Extension Line

[BobOnTheJob]

Has anyone successfully placed an extension on their office phone system that was accessible via the Internet & emulated a POTS line? Goal is to avoid a monthly dial up line cost at a site with high speed internet. Has anyone used a Magic Jack with a Sine Systems RFC-1/B?

I'm not sure how magic jack would work out at the remote end but i've had issues with dtmf being passed when calling a sine systems remote from a magicjack line.

if you just need to extend an existing line somewhere out to a site with internet access, linksys makes some voip adapters that when used as a pair can be configured to bridge a line over any ip connection complete with dtmf and everything.

What we are going to do here is get a voip service with a hardware adapter and put at the transmitter site, which will connet over the t1 from the studio then to the internet from there, saving a good deal of money over a business landline.

Majic jack does not play with the current Sine RFC-1B. Others are crap shoot, some will others won't. All VoIP was not created equal, might want to call Sine up and discuss it with them as to what they know and are working on as VoIP POTS becomes the rule rather than the exception.

We use Linksys adapters on Asterisk VOIP PBX our system for fax and DTMF with success. Softphones working with DTMF, not so much...

I have used Vonage for years with a Sine remote control. Buy the $14.95 500 minute plan then during the 30 day free trial call to cancel. They will give you a 100 minute plan (unlimited incoming calls) for $9.95 a month.
