Phones

The Phone Operation Center (POC) provide a comprehensive phone service at EMF.

You can pick a 4-digit extension number to use, and call anyone on site via it. Choose your number at Electromagnetic Phonebook (link coming soon)

You can use the extension on any of the following:

DECT Cordless Phones

There's site-wide DECT phone coverage

You can bring your own DECT telephone and join the network, enabling you to call other EMF participants and interactive services for free.

If you're buying a DECT phone and don't know what to get, buy pretty much any Gigaset DECT handset, for example:

• Gigaset A170, £18 on Amazon https://amzn.to/3yaJ5EG

If you've got one already, feel free to bring it. Use the DECT Phone Compatibility List to find out if your phone is compatible.

Analogue Phones - POTS (Plain old telephone service)

There will be a site-wide POTS network allowing you to connect a traditional analog phone to a phone line, with support for modems and fax machines.

Cellular

We intend to have a GSM (2G) phone network on site. More details to come closer to the event.

SIP phones / apps on your smartphone

You can use SIP devices or a SIP VoIP app on your phone once you've registered an extension number. More details to come closer to the event.

WiFi Calling

We have done some work on the WiFi network to enable access for WiFi calling to UK providers, previously this hasn't worked as the IP range we use appears to the carrier as being in Germany and most then block WiFi Calling, However we have solved this, WiFi calling should just work normally the same way as it does at home from any of the camp WiFi networks.

Please direct questions about WiFi Calling to the POC via the Infodesk.
