RT31P2 reboots at start of call

[Russell]

If you can provide call reference IDs for the calls where your adapter reboots, support might be better able to diagnose the issue. (I assume that if it connects enough to ring, you'd see the call in your logs.) Any chance you can exchange the RT31P2 for a PAP2? I understand not opening a ticket on the first event or two, but once you are sure enough that it's a recurrent (even if seemingly random) issue, it's definitely worth filing a ticket.

I understand and feel your frustration regarding 'number not in service' messages... I got one yesterday, as well (didn't file a ticket b/c it connected when I tried again).

My memory is a little fuzzy at this point, but I'm inclined to believe the call was not recorded in the logs.

I do have a PAP2T - with the PAP2T, I'd need to have an extra device in play, which I was trying to avoid with the RT31P2. If it reboots at the start of a call again, I'll consider opening a ticket.

The latest peeve from the wife - when she tried calling our virtual number from our home number she got a fast busy after several rings (instead of voicemail). You'll probably argue I should open a ticket :-). This happened a few days ago too. And, then stopped happening. Sigh.

Argue is such a strong word...

Seriously, though, you can't expect Voipo to fix a problem if they don't know it exists. Also, on a less happy serious note, you have to determine if they're meeting your needs or at what point these frustrations justify making a move. I'm not suggesting that you leave--that's gotta be your call (no pun intended). Overall, I've found Voipo to work well (albeit not perfectly). Most of the time, I don't think about it. But when the occasional "you have reached a number that has been disconnected..." on inbound calls occurs, or other minor 'oopses' occur, I do miss CallVantage a little. (I am saving a ton of $$ vs CallVantage, and Voipo support, when needed on rare occasion, has been much more responsive.)

Kinda wonder if rebooting could be the wrong power supply connected?
Is it 12V 1000mA?

Yes, just checked and it is.

It was worth a shot. Sometimes many similar supplies can lead to getting mixed by accident.

I've also noticed that attempting to connect to the RT31P2 can get it to reboot.

Yes, the number disconnected or not in service is the most disconcerting thing about VOIPo service. The sad part is the loss of confidence - for every time the wife or I notice it, one wonders how many other times it has happened to others trying to call us. The recent frustration was three different sort of glitches three days in a row all of which the wife noticed - and results in cracks from her about the cheap phone company I've signed up with. Other than the router rebooting, the others were VOIPo side issues.

Price-wise and feature-wise VOIPo is tough to beat, but I just wish the reliability were better. But, I need to be realistic given what I'm paying for the service. Lets say if I was paying Vonage prices, I'd have left a long time ago (I was a Vonage customer in a previous life - all I remember is solid service).
