I realise it's a long time since Global99's original post, but I have exactly the same situation and similar limited technical knoweldge. I am running Windows Home XP and have a Grandstream Budgetone SIP phone that has been lying around doing nothing since I gave up using Sip-to-Sip for Skype. I would love to be able to use it for Skype instead of headphones.

I understand pythonpoole's basic guidelines and have installed the various software components, namely Axon, Uplink and IVM. The setup is not working, although it is probably quite close. I fear I have omitted something crucial, but possibly quite simple in the configurations somewhere. I am also unclear whether I need a SIP account with a Sip Service provider, even if I do not need to make Sip-to-Sip calls. I only want to be able to communicate through Skype from the SiP phone.

If anyone can help, I can provide a screen copy of the log.

Kind regards

What you want can be accomplished with Uplink.

 

I don't have time to write up instructions, but basically this how it all works together:

 

Materials:

- SIP Phone

- NCH Uplink Software

- NCH Axon Software (Free)

 

Set-up:

- Install Axon and Uplink

- Setup Uplink to connect to Skype (through the options/settings)

- Setup Uplink to connect to Axon (as per instructions in Uplink)

- Create extension in Axon (e.g. user: sipphone pass: phonesrus)

- Setup your SIP phone to register with SIP account (extension) you created in Axon (sipphone).

Now you're pretty much set..

 

for dialling, you can setup dialing plans in Axon that will route digit calls to skype names.. basically like a speed dial thing, so that for example if you dial 501 it calls "turtleman" on your Skypelist.
