Follow-followup:
Eventually my curiosity prevailed, so I subscribed to them through
someone else's account. Indeed, they're pretty much relying on
DeltaThree's existing infrastructure. The SIP server is in the US, in
DeltaThree's subnet, and the RTP server (for audio) is at BezeqInt.
To login with Ekiga:
1. Open Edit | Accounts.
2. Add account:
Name: BezeqInt (or whatever)
Registrar: 213.137.73.140 (this was found by sniffing - it's not
apparent from the Windows client)
User: 972744141000 (your phone number)
Password: (your VoIP password)
3. Open "More Options"
Authentication Login: (your VoIP user ID -- not the same as your phone
number)
Realm/Domain: deltathree.com
4. Save the account and mark the checkbox to connect.
5. Open Edit | Preferences.
6. Go to Protocols | SIP Settings
7. Set Outbound Proxy to 213.137.73.140 (or else you wouldn't be able to
make outgoing calls, since your origin address won't be @213.137.73.140)
The RTP server only offers 8kbps codecs so it doesn't give better
quality than regular phone lines. Also, for some reason, Ekiga seems to
reset its outgoing calls (incoming calls are fine) as soon as the remote
end answers. It goes:
Me (Ekiga client): SIP INVITE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Server: SIP 100 Trying
Server: SIP 180 Session Progress
Server: RTP audio messages begin to arrive
Server: SIP 200 OK
Me: ICMP UDP port unreachable for all RTP audio messages following the OK
Server: SIP 200 OK (<-- yes, once more)
Me: ICMP UDP port unreachable for the 2nd OK
While at it, Ekiga says "Abnormal call termination". I can only wonder
what makes Ekiga think things are not kosher and abandon the INVITE.

Also don't expect them to sell you the service unless you're already a
subscriber to BezeqInt's Internet service at 1.5M or higher. Hey, I
tried subscribing, talked to two different salesmen of theirs --
What's the deal?! The service isn't free (in fact, you'd be paying
good money for it, close to Bezeq fees, so it's not like its a
"customers discount") and they still wouldn't sell it to me. Heck, he
had the arrogance to try convincing me to leave my current ISP for that.
Too bad. Guess I'll wait for Zahav's (my new ISP) 075 offer. Imri, any
news on that?

Bezeqint is just reselling deltathree service. They use sip for
communication and any free sip client will suffice.
However, Don't expect them to support you if you don't use their client.

Subject: Domestic VoIP service of BezeqInt
Hi,
I've just noticed BezeqInt seems to have officially launched their
domestic VoIP service:
http://www.voip.co.il/
(Yeah, it seems to compete with their parent company's business, but I'm
sure it makes some financial sense...)
In their requirements for PC-to-Phone VoIP (yes, they officially offer a
PC-based setup in addition to regular phones being connected through
a "converter" device), they mention Windows as a requirement -- not
surprising. They explicitly note Macintosh is not yet supported. No word
on Linux:
http://www.voip.co.il/VOiP/flash/templete/faq.asp?catID=141#faq462
So, anyone has any info whether their protocol is standard and what free
clients can be used with it?
