O.P. Undecided  VOIP Phones - Do you use them?
VOIP phones are coming out of their commercial beta testing...do someone use them? Commercial companies are already offering then in US, Canada, UK, Mexico... as far as I know.. Is this already in EU? I think this could be the future way of communication!

paperless... have you used voipbuster then?

is it any good? free cals sounds pretty much perfect to me... it would be better if they paid you to call people but that's not going to to happen.

seriously though tell me if it's reliable etc.

In ever tried it but why dont you try it? You can talk for a minute in one call, to have infinit amount of time in one call you have to charge with at least 1 euro and you still have the calls for free except for mobile phones.

Why dont you try it.

it runs through a brodband connection. so thats cable or adsl, the probel mis in the UK if you go for adsl it runs through your phone line and so you need to pay for bt line rental anyway so there isnt much point lol :)

but even if you pay BT line rental, you don't won't have free calls all the time with BT so you are still saving cash.

i'm sure i'll try this at some point and i'll post feedback here when i find out how good/bad it is

That voip thing isn't free at all, it's only free if you're talking to other users who have voipbuster, it's a common misconception that is made while downloading it.
