When purchasing one of eXeTeL ADSL/HSPA service, is it compulsory to use your VoIP service?

No, you are free to use whoever VoIP provider that you prefer.

Why is my phone line provider billing me when I only make calls through the VoIP service?

It is very likely that your VoIP device has a backup system which automatically switches to the current voice service provider when the VoIP service is down.

Does the V210P ATA support fax transmission?

No. Fax requires a different protocol which the Netcomm V210P does not support.

Fax via IP is performed using a protocol called T38. While some softswitch’s say they support FoIP, our tests performed have proven inconclusive. Exetel have found them somewhat unreliable. By all means, feel free to try your own. We cannot, however, guarantee its effectiveness.
