There is a patch available for German Annex-B 7050's to make them Annex-A (and still in German language). Many people use it this way outside of Germany when they buy one from eBay. The problem with that is that there are hardware differences between Annex A and B, it's not just soft/firmware.

Ivor Thanks Ivor, I think we need an area code with that speaking clock number. No you don't it's the Sipgate ID. Simply dial it using a Sipgate "line" & you will get through to the clock. Duh! Very senior moment there. Now I get it. And the answer is "I do not hear the clock". I cannot hear anything after the ringing tone on any call. As soon as a call is answered I hear nothing. If I call myself on another number I can hear from the Fritz end.

The fixed line and internet phone LEDs only come on while a call is in progress, the internet one should light when you lift the handset of a connected phone. What are you calling an "out of service" tone..? Note that the Fritz uses German tones, irrespective of the regional settings, so the dial tone sounds very similar to the UK number unobtainable tone. If you can configure a Sipgate account, try calling my speaking clock on 1431320. Ivor Thanks Ivor, I think we need an area code with that speaking clock number. :-) Only if you're calling it from the PSTN, the SIP ID will work from another Sipgate number. However, just for you, it's 020 7043 1320. Ivor- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Understood. I didn't catch your drift first time round. You had published that number before.

Common courtesy. I would expect the same. I would do the same for you. Quote: No silver label. It was sold as Annex A. However, I do not utilize DSL. I am using the Fritz with the LAN port configured as the internet connection. It is plugged into a D-Link LAN port. Said D- Link is plugged into Charter Cable's interface (modem) box. Thereby lies the answer. If you're not using the internal ADSL modem, whether it's Annex A or B doesn't matter. Indeed. The Annex A, Annex B issue is a sidetrack. It is not relevent to my problem.

Sure! :: No silver label. This is a problem, because if there isnt' a silver label on the bottom of the device, then you can't know its model no. and you have lost any kinds of AVM product warranty (which is 5 years). Can we know how much you have paid for it? The warrenty would not be valid in the US anyway. AVM do not service this market. However, I have UK equipment I want to utilize with UK numbers. For the Fritz! I paid USD50.00.

Interesting. The Sipura 1001 that the clock is connected to does sometimes fail to register, but it's ok at the moment and I just tried several calls from both UK and German Sipgate accounts, plus the PSTN and all worked fine. There shouldn't be much of a ringing tone unless the line is in use, in which case you'll get ring tone until it's free (max 30 seconds) but you should get the audio ok, I'm puzzled. Try this access route - call 2838111 (Sipgate) or 01352 838111 (PSTN). You will get a short voice prompt followed by a dial tone. Then dial the number 05648081. Let me know if that works.

Yes, it is. The hardware differences in most cases have no effect on the quality of the annex A broadband connection. The difference is among some resistors value used to build the internal DSL frequency filter of the device.

BE CAREFUL! A different patching way is needed to patch fritz box fon 7050 which works with AVM latest german firmware (xx.xx.31).
