    Just a change of settings via the menu on the voip device. The new provider can provide you with the settings you need. Gotalk for example shows theirs here

    To actually change the settings you will need to login to your voip device, what is the make and model ?

    if you ever want to switch to another operator, in any case, I repeat, in any case, do not go to bramatelekom. they can charge your credit card twice "by mistake" and you will never receive refund!

    David, the only caveat I can add is to make sure your Linksys SPA3102 is open to change providers - as seen some of these locked to the original provider (similar concept to mobile phone handsets being locked to original provider).

    The original inquiry was posted on 4 June, so this reply is possibly too late, as over a month has elapsed.

    For the information of those interested, I believe that all Engin units are locked and would need to be unlocked in order to use them with a different VOIP providor.

    I have successfully unlocked ex Engin Sipura SPA-2000 and SPA-4000 units by following readily available instructions found on the internet. (Sipura are now part of the Lynksys/Cisco group).

    I am unaware of an unlock procedure for the SPA-3102, as sold by Engin, though.

    You know of course that as long as you have paid up your contract with that provider, by law they have to give you the unlock code so that you can unlock it!

    Are you guys aware that you are able to charge back via your credit card provider?
