Hello All,

We have two telephone lines - one from our Vonage provider in the US (VOIP) and the other from Cablecom. I am looking to have these two lines plug into a single machine (cordless with speaker preferably).

I brought mine from the US - but apparently we're not allowed to use US handsets in Switzerland due to interference with mobile frequencies.

I went to MediaMarkt to look for a phone with two input lines but the guys there just stared at me blankly and said they don't have it and it's not common in Zurich.

I also looked on amazon.de but couldn't find one. Even if you have a recommended model that is allowed in Switzerland I can go online and buy it.

Can anyone help with this?

I do not have Vonage, but do have a Fallback / Passthrough ( an ATA with a SIP VOIP provider ).

The fallback / Passthrough consolidates both the VOIP and PSTN line, thus enabling me to select a service / line using a cordless Swiss handset.

Is this what you are looking for:

You can buy it from Digitec for 98 Fr.

Jrspet - sounds like an option. I'm not technical - can you give me some more background?

As the pictures show, it is likely a standard feature on modern ATA Routers. This is called PSTN fallback or pass-through.

PSTN fallback requires that the device have an FXO port to use this feature.

Equipment that has an FXO port may route the call via that port and dial plans may be setup to use that port for 000 or "Lifeline" support.

What is FXO ?
