VOIP on high speed gateway

Is anyone using the high speed gateway for VOIP traffic?  I was told it required a firmware update to make it work.  Worked fine on the LTE gateway.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I am successfully using the 1-VOIP residential VALUE plan ($8.97/mo.) on my 5G gateway.

     

    However, it required Karen of 1-VOIP to make some back-end changes; I did not have to do anything.

     

    if you are using 1-VOIP, ask for Karen by name; she is knowledgeable, eager to help and competent.

    Just called them again.  They know it's a problem but won't give me an ETA for a fix.  Same answer I got 6 months ago.  I've been without VOIP service now for 9 months.  They offered to replace the new gateway with the old 4G gateway.  That would be a hassle I can't imagine.  Really, how hard can this be to fix?  It's a well-know protocol on well-know ports.  I like this service except for this issue, but would not recommend it because most people I know are doing VOIP now for homes and businesses.


    By the way, They charged me $50 for the 6 days I had the gateway. Even thought when cancelling the service I was told that I won't be charged anything because it's within the first 21 days.

    Still no joy with this.  Cisco VOIP box is plugged into the lan port on the 5G router.  I get dial tone but can't call.  It worked fine on the old LTE Gateway.  

    Just spoke with a girl called Crystal from the customer service . Waiting time was zero minutes. She told me that they are aware of the "problem" that many VOIP devices can't function by default. She also assured me that it's a matter of sending request to register a particular device with them (in my case it's a Grandstream GS-GXP2140 VOIP desk phone). Which she did sent.

    She collected my download and upload speed (asked me to test it in real time).

    I am still kind of skeptical based on reviews here that say that all these reps do is lying to you. However, she told me to wait 24-72 hours and gave me "complaintID" I could use to  track the status of the request.

    I’ll keep you guys posted.

    Ok, here is my report: nothing happened. Nobody contacted me, the problem wasn't fixed. At all. I returned the device.

    I had Spectrum before signing up with T-Mobile Home Internet.  Once I had the trash can setup, I took the ethernet cable from the Spectrum modem and plugged it into the trash can.  Everything works including my Obihai device using Google Voice that is plugged into my TP-Link AC3200 router.  Just my experience.
