Answer is CISCO . If you are looking for VOIP service at home. Lot of Cable company like comcast provides VOIP phone service . Also you can use Vonage for your Home as a VOIP Phone service provider . Voice quality is excellent.

I use Vonage, cheap and reliable.  I heard of a cheaper one out there (not much cheaper), but reviews say despite the price, Vonage is clearer and more reliable.  Vonage has been around the longest too.

Via your modem if it supports voice (voice modem).\n\nDownload software - there are lots of freeware/shareware. Google --> "phone software -voip".\n\nIt will be easier to use minus before voip since there are too much voip that will cover away your real software.\n\n\nHardware: Connect phone line to your voice modem, voice modem to pc.

try u're yahoo messenger..............\nthe ISPs sometimes make such services available...........\nbut i have used it......... i didnt like the results........ u cant have a proper conversation using these services as there is always a bit of buffering because the data jumps from the internet network to the telephone network........\n  voice chat is a more viable option and telephones are always at u're service.... pay a bit more and better sound quality.

Who is your Internet Service Provider?

Yu still have to have a voice and DSL line and a phone bill. Vonage has really competitive pricing against VOIP. You can download Skype for free. The thing about VOIP is that you can have a video phone and pay the same rate to look at some one while you talk. This is more of an added value feature for DLS providers.

Sky Broadband are brilliant but one catch you must have Sky! Cheap and reliable!\n\nTiscali were good, fast, unlimited and cheap and good with call package, only downside is if something goes wrong they are in India and have poor English skills.  Some call centres in India are good, but they are poor. They told me to stick in wire the Post Box!!!\n\nTesco are quite good but I'm biased I work for them.  AVOID BT, NTL.  BT are expensive and poor.

For VOIP?  Hop on hop off arrangement?  Sipura 3000 fits the bill here.  It is complicated to setup but is worth it.  Grandstream makes a few models with both fxs and fxo in the same box. Give me a clue as to what you want to do and I will tell you what I know.\n\n\nFeb 28 8:12 PM -  Is the VOIP end coming to you from an ATA that the provider has sent you?  Does that provider allow you to connect to their system without their box?  Just a few more details and I am sure I can steer you right.  Will callerid make a difference to you?  Are you setting up an asterisk pbx?  A good description of how you are going to hook up would help.  For instance,  my system is both a land line and a VOIP provider ATA.  Asterisk is used to provide dialtone to 6 extensions in the house and to tie both the landline and the VOIP line in.  I can call in the landline and get dialtone to call out the voip line.  Ring 1 or all of the extensions in the house. Listen to a house monitor (microphones). It gives me the additional ability to select what hours my phone will ring and by whom. My setup cost me about $260 /not including the phones themselves or the computer to run asterisk.  Asterisk is embeddable in a Linksys router or NAS so you could add that for another $80. The Sipura 3000 can be had for about $90 and come with 1 fxo and 1 fxs port.

The best VOIP software program would be Skype. It has the best voice quality compared to the others that I have tried using. Also has additional features like encryption (not found in many other solutions), chat, file transfer and video (new in the latest Beta version)

Vonage by far. They offer free long distance, free caller ID, free call forwarding, free voicemail. Just about any "extra" you want they have for $24.95 + tax a month. It comes out to $27 and change.

It may be. Vonage would know.  You could try a different voice over ip company to see what they require.  There are companies that are cheaper than vonage anyway.\n\nI don't see any reason for them to lie to you, and I don't think that is something they could easily mis-inform you about.

IP Telephony is the technology that enables VoIP. It includes any telephone service that uses an IP network.
