I've had a Tesco Internet Phone for years but only recently started using it now I've finally set up a proper home office.
Was looking at a voip to analog converter like this:

So I could use a home phone on the VOIP without having the PC on all the time. I dont get any mobile reception at home and I dont want to be giving work/clients etc my home number..
Just found out that my Nokia can do this for nowt. Guide below for anyone who uses tesco, but I'm sure it would work with other providers. Not my guide btw.
The following settings work on the Nokia VOIP application. Hope they are of use.
STEP 1
Go to Tools / Settings / Connection / SIP settings.
Choose Options/ New SIP Profile and create the following profile;
Profile Name: Tesco
Profile: IETF Default
Access point: (your WLAN AP name)
Public user name: 0123456789@tescointernetphone.com
(When recorded your phone may show sip:0123456789@tescointernetphone.com)
Use Compression: No
Registration: "Always on "
Use Security: No
STEP 2
Enter the following for Proxy Server settings
Proxy Server Address: sip.tescointernetphone.com
(When recorded your phone may show sip:sip.tescointernetphone.com)
Realm: tescointernetphone.com
User Name: 0123456789
Password: Enter the password that you chose when you signed up for the service.
Allow loose routing: Yes
Transport type: Auto
Port: 5060
STEP 3
Enter the following for Registrar Server settings
Registrar Server: sip.tescointernetphone.com
(When recorded your phone may show sip:sip.tescointernetphone.com)
Realm:tescointernetphone.com
User Name: 01234567890
Password: Enter the password that you chose when you signed up for the service.
Transport Type: Auto
Port: 5060
STEP 4
Go to Tools / Settings / Connection / Internet Tel. Settings
Create a new profile for "Tesco"(0123456789), name it "Tesco"
Choose "Tesco" as Preferred profile
STEP 5
For better voice quality or in order to be able to make VoIP calls over 3G internet connection you need to use Nokia SIP VoIP Application you installed.
Go to Applications on your phone and click on "VoIP Settings" application. Choose VoIP services (or the name of your Tesco account Internet profile.)
Click on "Profile Settings" and find "Allow VoIP over WCDMA" option and change it to "ON" This change allows VoIP over 3G connection on Nokia phones.
For better voice quality go to Codecs and delete all codecs except G729. There should be only G729 codec left under codecs settings
Will still get the Linksys box for home, but for now this is ace
VOIP is the future.
