While they say it is for Windows PC's only, Ill hook it up to one of my Asus or Acer UMPC's hat I tote around. This would be the perfect kinds of devices to use with them, and a VoIP client like Bria from Counterpath, the Gizmo Project Softphone or even Skype or SightSpeed. Talk about cool, the Seat...

Opinion: If You Want To VoIP, Wait Before You Buy Nokia N96

02 Sep 2008 22:32:48 PDT

Written by Om Malik
Nokia has released its new N-Series phone, the N96, in Europe. It’s like the Swiss army knife of phones — a very expensive Swiss army knife — in that it does a lot of things, except one: It won’t allow you to make VoIP calls. Apparently some of the more well-known VoIP services, such as Fring and T...

2) Ditch the "if you leave us it will cost you money." Nothing hurts more than when someone liked you service but for whatever reason chose to cancel. Don't charge them for that. Let them leave on a high note and THANK THEM for having been your customer. Oh, and just try to take your number with you. H...

Written by Adam Pash
UPDATE: Just today (4/15) it looks like another VoIP app for the iPhone has emerged called Fring. Fring promises to work with both Skype and SIP accounts, but like SIP-VoIP it's still young and not entirely perfect. I haven't tried it yet, but it might be a viable alternative to SIP-VoIP, and...

Philips VOIP841 Review

11 Dec 2007 06:30:13 PST

The key feature of the Philips VOIP841 is that it is a standalone Skype phone that doesn't require a PC running the Skype software. All of the Skype software runs on the Philips base unit and the phone. I should mention that there are several standalone Skype phones such as the Linksys CIT400,...

The third section is a list of benefits/disadvantages that you get by switching to VoIP. Disadvantages of VOIP If your Internet or power goes out, so does your phone (cell phones come in handy here!) Smaller VOIP providers have poor service and poor quality (just use a top VOIP provider!)

Opinion: PlusNet: "Consumers should be looking for ISPs who manage traffic"

12 Apr 2007 13:09:29 PDT

On the other, it could mean deliberately squashing your Skype call to try and get you to upgrade to the ISP's own VoIP service. Like I s...

Written by Ted Wallingford
The three packages that have undergone improvements since I last examined them are Yahoo! Messenger, Sightspeed, and Skype. But I'll be honest--the changes to Yahoo! Messenger, now at version 3.0 for the Mac, are superficial at best. There's still no VoIP for Internet voice calling, ther...
