I was actually thinking of looking into this voip lark today!

Does anyone have any recommendations of proper looking/handling phones and none of this headset nonsense?


And as a side note can you run a fax line off a voip connection?

You can use your phone with it, just 5 cents connection and calls to landlines in many countries free.
8 cents a min to UK mobs, 10 cents to Spanish. ????
Not sure about a fax, but maybe, cos you use your own number.

Thanks mate i'll take a gander at that later tonight when I get the chance.

I've seen loads of new skype/voip phones in currys and it may save me having so many bloody line rentals in my house and office.

You need PC on to dial your contact.
Your phone rings and when you pick it up you hear it dialling your contact.
5 cents connection and free call to most countries landlines.
If he is a good broker you will only need to call once.

Actually within the Skype system (ie totally free calls) nobody has numbers, only usernames. Use ours to speak to friends and relatives all over the world who are also on Skype but never tried the paying bit.

For once you can get owt for nowt, that is after paying for a computer and internet connection in the first place.

Voipcheap you can phone landlines for free, they don`t need PC`s.
