What is the Best VOIP as of December 2007?

Question

Hi all,

I'm planning to subscribe a VOIP phone that I can bring to a different country and use it there. I can't go with Softphone. It should only be hardware based. I know this question has been asked too many times already but I need an updated one.

I don't need it to be UNLIMITED. As long as its CHEAP and has unlimited INCOMING calls. 200 or 500 mins outgoing is too much for me =)

I made some calls to Vonage, ViaTalk, ConnectVoip, packet8, etc. The big problem is some of them doesn't allow you to bring the hardware to a different country (like ViaTalk, ConnectVOIP)

There are so many VOIP services in the reviews I found but I dont know what to believe anymore. I don't know if it is biased or what...

I was hoping to get $6-9.95/month deal. But I guess its ok to have the $14++ deal.

As long as it has unlimited Incoming calls, cheap, and I can bring it to a different country without a time-lock, I'm good with it =)

Thank you so much.

I think you will like MagicJack.com!!!



I got Packet8 at home....I use skype for all other countries, but the MJ I take I with me abroad....so I can use an US area-code and I don't have to pay anything.....!



my friends and family liked it so much, now they all want the MJ too!!



I pay 19.95 per year....but remember, like many other Voip its Ymax,,,,skype is SIP service, and only My Packet8 is a true Voip Service provider which I use for over 5 years....even before VoIP became fashionable in the US....I get 40 foreign countries for free calling, but I'm always looking for cheap/free calling back to the US....

When a recession begins is not an exact science. Some economic scholars say as early as December 2007 while others say as late as June 2008. Obama begin campaigning as early as December 2007. He claimed he knew exactly what to do with the economy. It has been 2 1/2 half years and Obama has done absolutely nothing to help this economy, in fact some say it will get worse with his socialist anti- capitalism approach. Just because it began at the end of Bush's term, certainly doesn't give the incoming president any kind of right to blame his predecessor, especially when he used that issue in his campaign. Only cry babies and looser that lack style and class would constantly blame his predecessor for his problems. It is the classic looser mentality I ain't done nothing wrong its his fault he did it. Prisons are full of that mentally. But come to think of it Obama is from Chicago.

Answer 5

VoIP is VoIP - it doesn't matter if you access it via softphone on PC or hardphone adapter. SIP is also VoIP. Most VoIP services now days use SIP protocol. (Skype is proprietary protocol and doesn't divulge what protocols they use - doesn't matter, Skype is VoIP too.)



If you want a Pay-As-You-Go VoIP service for use with hardphone or ATA (analog telephone adapter) and can use from any of 35 countries with the same adapter, then I use and recommend InPhonex and CallCentric (links are in my profile).



InPhonex has "LiteLine" for $7.95/month and includes an area phone number (available in 30 countries), unlimited "incoming" calls, outgoing calls are 2.5 cent/min in USA/Canda/UK and similar low rates around the world. Most important is No Contracts, no commitments, no obligations, pay-as-you-go, month-by-month only. Purchase Linksys PAP2T 2-line ATA for $64.95. I program 2nd line with CallCentric. InPhonex also has "Calling Card" access numbers around the world for access via regular phones when traveling - but you can also take your ATA with you on the road, too.

CallCentric provides area phone numbers around the world (in 36 countries) starting at $6.95/month with "unlimited" incoming calls and outgoing calls in USA/Canada/UK for 1.98 cent/min + very low worldwide rates. CallCentric is pay-as-you-go... No commitments, No contracts, no fine print. With CallCentric, you must provide your own ATA VoIP adapter. I configure my Linksys PAP2T line 2 with CallCentric and Line 1 with InPhonex (two simultaneous VoIP services using one ATA device!). CallCentric also provides a free softphone for use on a PC with their service, too.



I also use Skype as a backup VoIP service from my PC. You can get a Linksys CIT300 Skype VoIP adapter to use without PC. It is essentially cordless VoIP phone with it's own ATA that is configured only for Skype (expensive though).
