Hi guys,
Actually, i have been using VoIP for around 1 year with Linksys PAP2. The service provider that i am using is iptelnow (www.iptelnow.com). The rate is quite cheap as i call to australia in regular basis. Free call between extensions (in same network). AUD0.10 per call to australia landline.
I felt malaysia voip provider is quite rip off and cheat our money as their market is monopolized. they are the winner all the time hence they dare to collect service/subscription fees for nothing.
iptelnow that i am using now, i pay absolutely nothing if i don't make any call to PSTN. no minimum maintenance fee which i think is good. As i understood, VoIP calls quality doesn't depend on the service provider but our internet connection.
You can use a UK based voip service provider but calling to your friend in malaysia from malaysia with same quality that u uses TMnet or jaring voip service. because once the connection is establish, mainly is more to like peer to peer connection.
just my opinion. cheers.

QUOTE(netfan @ May 13 2006, 07:34 AM) Great find! Looks like IpTelNow allows you to BYO device. Nice! Have you try calling another IPTelNow user in Malaysia (either on Jaring or TMnet) or the PSTN line in Malaysia? How's the voice quality like? I have a PAP2 too that I use with US based FWD provider, which allows me to call another FWD for free but unable to call landlines at the moment. I may want to try check out this IPTelNow too since their call out rates are very reasonable. :-) Ya.. a few of my friends is using iptelnow together locally in KL with me as we always conference together and chat. Besides, i uses it to call oversea regularly (especially Australia and HK). I tried FWD before i switch to iptelnow, the quality is fairly similar. Besides, using iptelnow we can make inter-network call to other VoIP provider like FWD which is free as well. but required to check the prefix. Basically, the quality of voice is mainly depend on both party broadband connection and stability of the VoIP gateway. Cheers.
