I've just got myself upgraded to UFB. I'd like to keep the phone line. My plan was to use my existing Netgear R8000 as the router directly and connect an ATA for phone line, as Slingshot uses VoIP.Before the chorus guy came I called technical support asking for my SIP password. The technician told me the password is only available after cutover to fibre.OK. So after the chorus guy finished everything I successfully configured R8000 to connect to internet. Time for another call to Slingshot for the SIP password.This time I got told that since I did not order a Slingshot modem (NF4v) I cannot have a VoIP line. The VoIP line is bind to the modem and cannot be provisioned on its own. The only way for me to have a phone line and keep my old number is to use GoTalk, and that's an mobile app only thing and cannot be used as SIP.So before I bite the bullet and decide to go naked, can someone answer the questions below.Is it true that I cannot have phone line without a slingshot modem?Can I configure GoTalk with SIP so I can use it with an ATA?Thank you very much.
