IDNet Help / Re: Uboss and ATA adaptors
Last post by Tacitus - Feb 21, 2026, 13:38:17I've already got a router which works well enough, but doesn't have an fxs port for an analogue phone. This means I'll need an ATA, Grandstream seems to be the one most offer. I was hoping to avoid one since I'm not sure how well they work having heard a lot of comments regarding their reliability.
Otherwise it looks as though I may as well stick with iDNet for phone and broadband and go with the adaptor. If Uboss is on a one month contract I can always jump ship if need be - at least for the phone

IDNet Help / Re: Uboss and ATA adaptors
Last post by Simon - Feb 21, 2026, 10:15:12I switched to UBOSS a few weeks ago, and have no problems with my Gigaset C570 phones, and the TP Link VX230v router, which is VoIP compatible. The transition from my old phone service (also with IDNet) was seamless, and caller display works as it should, displaying the names of the callers (assuming in Gigaset phone book). All in all, I'm pretty happy.

IDNet Help / Uboss and ATA adaptors
Last post by Tacitus - Feb 21, 2026, 10:02:07Looks as though I'm going to be forced to move to SOGEA with all the attendant problems.
Has anyone any experience of using the Uboss phone serve with a Grandstream 801 ATA as supplied by iDNet? My original intention was to continue broadband with iDNet and move the number to Voipfone. That is still a possibility but the Gigaset handsets I have although apparently current won't work with the IP base that I have, so it looks as though an ATA may be forced on me.
In passing I will add that Gigaset do not appear to be the company of old. Siemens separated them from the main company and they were subsequently taken over by Vtech, the supplier of kids electronic toys. They appear to be a Chinese company going by the directors list. My guess is they're either abandoning the UK domestic market to concentrate on the business side, or allowing it to wind down to the point it's no longer worth bothering with. They still appear to be doing OK in mainland Europe and are collaborating with AVM (Fritz) to make phones compatible with the FritzBox routers, although I can't find any details for the UK.
I may still go to Voipfone but it may be simpler to use the Uboss service assuming it is any good.....

Last post by nowster - Feb 20, 2026, 17:54:03Quote from: epicpotato on Feb 19, 2026, 07:19:11Yes, I'm pretty sure that they use CGNAT.You can't run services behind CGNAT. That'll be the problem.
IDNet provides a single static IPv4 address and a /48 block of IPv6 as standard (with a separate /64 for the PPPoE link).

IDNet Help / Idnetters issue?
Last post by Bill - Feb 19, 2026, 12:31:14For the last day or so I keep getting an error when trying to load the forum:
This site can't be reached
www.idnetters.co.uk took too long to respond.
When this happens, Downforeveryoneorjustme agrees that it's down.
Sometimes it's OK again after a few minutes, sometimes it takes a lot longer.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that they use CGNAT.

Last post by nowster - Feb 18, 2026, 22:54:37As far as I know IDNet doesn't block any ports on either IPv4 or IPv6.

Last post by epicpotato - Feb 18, 2026, 11:41:47Hi Simon,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I'm fairly certain that it's at Vodafone's end. After seeing that the ports were still blocked after port forwarding all of the ports (for both TCP and UDP), I enabled DMZ to the PS5's IP address and they were still blocked. I'm no expert on DMZ but as far as I was aware, DMZ should just allow all traffic through to the specified IP address and ignore any firewall rules, but they were still blocked.
