IP Phone

[loop 0]

Can anyone recommend a cheap decent IP Phone solution?

Any regarding comments or experiences with such products are welcome.

Vonage is one you can try, Time Warner offers one...both have plans in the $30 to $50 range.

 

There are some downsides. If your power goes out, your phone goes out. Your phone may not be able to access 911 services.

Sorry for not explaining myself, but I meant standalone IP Phones that can be connected over LAN or VPN for in-house communication, with and without the need of a PC.

why not just use an intercom system? You can then get video with it also, real time.

I assume it is a kind of intercom, just that it works over IP network.

found this, it does direct IP to IP Phone calls if no service is available (if not online). it is open network so works with most VOIP Services I think this is probably what you are looking for?? Its wireless so you would need a wireless network, or maybe they have a wired version of it.

here is the manufacturer's web site on their VOIP products:

Darn, if VOIP wasnt illegal over here it would be a neat thing to get into with these new products coming out.

thanks rory, that's exactly what I am looking for. There's a lot of them, so I'm looking for a review or recommendations for a specific model.
