I talk to my brother using either, msn voice chat, or just use something like teamspeak.
So why pay more money to use voip :/ ?
Everybody usually has a computer.
Are there any voip phones you can use like a mobile phone and take anywhere, receive calls anytime any place ?
Not all the people would be staying infront of the computer waiting for the free voip call.
VOIP is the solution for let's say, a company to cut down the phone bill or, the heavy overseas/mobile phone caller.
As for the VOIP phone - since it needs internet connection, eventually you will still need at least a wifi internet for the VOIP mobile phone (for e.g. SMC has a wifi phone for Skype)

hey guyz...I'm totally noob about VoIP and after going thru many pages in this thread...I still confuse....
I would like to know what's the point to purchase VoIP products like linksys or Dlink since we can call by using our normal phone thru Italk or Time access something like that??
Could anybody tell me what is pro and con for buying VoIP products??and If we purchase VoIP, do we still need to subscribe ??if yes, those package iszit something like Jaring 015 , BBphone etc???
I have a wireless modem router with 4 ports RJ-45.....in case if I want to use VoIP..what are the product should I looking for??
thx for ur help!!
- the purpose of getting VOIP adapter is because, it can be configured as such that, u can start calling overseas call by using the normal phone (of course, first of all, you need a VOIP service subscription) without using computer
Whereas iTalk, you still need to go thru the painful process by keying in the access card code then dial...
and yes, Jaring 015 is offering the solution like what i mentioned

Cons of getting VOIP adapter... u need extra space for an adapter + more electricity consumption?
But I do see more Pros, if you are a heavy overseas/mobile caller - cos cheaper call rate is what VOIP offers for.
If you are looking for VOIP service provider, the most famous is of course SkypeOut (www.skype.com) and personally I'd recommend PennyTel (www.pennytel.com)
If you want, let's say, a VOIP adapter (and yes, first of all u need to have a VOIP service subscription) you may look at Dlink's DVG2001S
http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=447I've not tried out any VOIP adapter yet, but i guess, looking at the posts, cruzzmz, Xybirium or lucky206 are better people to ask for

Last but not least, if you don't wish to buy a VOIP adapter, then just use the VOIP service like SkypeOut, which you need Skype software installed and of course, a computer switched on.
