If you have an older phone plugged in to a VoIP-to-Analogue ATA, and if calls work, but the phone doesn't actually ring, then you may be needing a RG11-to-BT adapter that includes a ring capacitor, such as https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/2370-esscable-rjp-bts/

If you receive phantom calls, perhaps from a CLI (eg just 4 digits) that is odd looking, and when you answer, there's no one then these are probably from portscans of your network and not actually from the A&A VoIP servers - they won't appear on the Call Log records.

These scans result in your phone ringing with a strange caller ID, but when you answer, there's no one there because it's not a real call.

This can happen when you encounter a codec issue on the machine you are listening with. We would suggest using WAV or MP3 for call recordings. This can be adjusted on the [http://control.aa.net.uk Control Panel].
