I want to set this up at home. I have always on broadband with imagine. I'm using a wired router on my mac. Can you only phone people that also have VOIP set up, or can you call anyone and can they call you?
I am thinking of getting rid of our landline phone altogether as we all have mobile phones. I dont see the point in paying monthly tel. line rental about 20 euro)as well as 19.99 broadband charge. I have a horrendous bill at the mo. with teenager calling mobiles from landline. Is their a company that sells broadband only and VOIP hardware and I suppose I'd need software. Any advice would be appreciated.
Sorry for hijacking the thread but I don't want to start a new 1 when my query is related.....I think...... Is it possible to use a VOIP service on a 3G network ?
Yes.
Thanks for the response bankrupt. Any chance you could elaborate a little further, eg which network is best for this and which VOIP service would you recommend....
No.
(Sorry, don't have any recommendations for either, I can just tell you that VoIP will most definitely work on 3G connections. )
8. Use of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is not permitted within the Unlimited Data Roaming tariff offer and Vodafone reserves the right to impose technological or other constraints on this or related types of application.
VOIP stands for voice over internet protocal (for those who would like to know). While there are several voip providers, I would say voip stunt would be the best for computer to landline connections. Although voip can be used on 3g networks, the bandwidth is not sufficient to handle this type of connection (for the time being) and a major lag time would be the drawback of such a connection (about 3 - 5 seconds from the time one spoke to the time the reciving party heard). A broadband connection would be best. With voip stunt all national calls are free to a landline, but a credit card is needed for account setup.
It may work at present but is strictly speaking not allowed on Vodafone (don't know about 02/3G) so who knows when they might decide to try blocking it.
No wonder Vodafone don't allow it - they would lose tons of money if too many people used VOIP over their network.

Vodafone may not like it but the 3 network in the UK offer around 300 mins a month 'free' VOIP calls via Skype as part of their mobile phone packages. I'm sure it will arrive on these shores eventually!
