Skype who has it? - Page 2 - SV650.org

Seriously folks look at SIP. unlike tools such as Skype you do not need a pc unless you use a soft phone. The sip phone or ata if you want to use your existing handset does all the work. You can talk phone to phone without going through any servers. or sip to pstn/mobile at very cheap rates. sipgate.co.uk offers a service of a 1000 landline minute/month for about £6. out of which calls to mobiles work out about 15p/minute. and international landlines are very cheap.

also rember that sip to sip is generally free.

works really well, wife's brother lives in singapore and her sister is in seattle so am expecting it save a fair bit of money.

easy to use, and no complaints.

About 4 or 5 years ago I put together an IT solution for a friends Dad. He's basically an independent international businessman/consultant.

I'm now putting together another machine for him, as the old one is a little long in the tooth, and discovered that he's using Skype now.

He reckons it saves him £100's a month for his international calls, and swears by it!

I've just set up a SIPgate account, which gives you a normal telephone number. I have opted for a central London area code, but you can get one in any area.

I do have skype, just don't really use it.

You can get a Skype London number too, I certainly have one which includes voicemail and is hardly expensive - worth checkng out.

But which ever route you take VOIP is the future.
