Hi,

Who of you has a wireless VoIP phone and what do you think about it ? Also what is the cheapest VoIP phone ?

Thanks

Hi theh

I have used the ZyXEL Prestige 2000W and it works fine as a DECT replacement. Have also heard good reports about the Senao Wireless IP Phone-Si-7800H.

Hope this helps.

Vipernetworks.com the best voip wi-fi phone with the best rates. and the call quality is excellent

I believe that the wifi fones from ViperNetwork requires that u sign up for their service as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong..

Yes you pay for calls becuase your using their switching network. If you want free calls you can use yahoo or few other services like this and plug a headset into your computer. Its free, but the call quality is not always the best.

With Viper you get true QoS(quality of service) and you pre pay only $10.00 at a time, no subscription no recurring fees. I have friends in Europe and I let people call South America all the time on my V-phone and I am still on the 10 bucks I paid like three months ago. its only 3 cents a minute to most places in the world.

You get what you pay for. If you want to use Voip once in a while to talk with friends, use the free services.

If you want a telecom quality voice connection use viper.

There's also broadvoice.com that works with the same wifi phone for $100 less if you buy the phone and sign-up for their service. Rates seem resonable.

Not sure about the quality but we're testing the service next week with a Zyxel phone we have in the shop.

Tested the Zyxel phone with broadvoice.com and it works however, calls were a little choppy.

Same phone that Viper uses and it sounds like their service may have better QOS.

Broadvoice is $10 a month for unlimited in-state and $20 a month for unlimited nationwide. Area codes are limited and it's not available in every state.

Greg,

The benefit of Viper is that they actually own switches all over the world and are continuing a massive acquisition of switch companies so that the prices they offer are as low as possible and their service QoS is handled from beginning to end of their network. Buy stock now:)
But with Viper its a pay as you go type service. no monthly, just charge $10 at a time and use it till its finished up...then recharge...minutes never expire.


Guys also check skype.com its free and it works great, as long as the other person is on skype at the same time.

We're going to try Vipor this week. We primed our shop network for VOIP and still had choppy calls with the other provider.

Thanks,

Greg

Hello all:

Am I correct in thinking that no switching network is needed for me to call someone else who also has a VoIP setup?

That is, both phones would be connected to the Internet via VoIP.

It looks like the switching places that you were talking about are needed to route the VoIP calls to landlines for calling people with regular landline phones. Otherwise there would be no need for the switching companies, if everybody had a VoIP setup? That sound right?

I'm trying to figure how this VoIP tuff works. Thanks,

Bob

I did a little more reading on this VoIP stuff.

It looks like anyone with a VoIP phone, can talk from any 802.11b WiFi location (like at a hotel) (assuming they have the name and password to access the WiFI).

So if I know of free WiFi locations, I can take my VoIP phone with me to make low cost calls from free WiFi locations?

I'm still confused though if I will need swithcing places like Vonage to route all my calls or only calls to the landline.

Thanks

Essentially right, but some caution is required when you are using a public network.

Most Voip applications are still server based, rather than Peer to peer, probably has to do with indexing. I imagine someone out there is working on a distributed solution.
