With no any descussions. Forwareder is Skype (www.skype.com) By the way they implemented video also...\n\nWhy the best:\n\n1st, they made it first with the best quality (not like ICQ or Yahoo)\n2nd, it's working in low broadband also\n3rd, It is full telephone services if you will pay (personal number for incoming calls and voice mail, low prices for national and international calls)\nand more, and more, and more...

VoIP is made to be used with high speed internet.  you will never get good results on dial-up

VOIP is the best ever.  It hooks into your regular telephone so you can't tell a difference!  The only thing is when dialing you have to dial the area code (atleast for Vonage that's what I use).  When you get voicemails you can also opt to receive email notification which lets you listen to the message.  You pay no long distance to US and Canada (they have different plans too).  VOIP is definately not too new to consider.  As long as you have your high speed internet connection you have phone service and no long distance bill.

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.

Honestly, you wont' find anyone (myself included) who understands VOIP on here that will just give you the answers for free. Additionally, there are huge drawbacks to VOIP that you may want to consider\n\nVoIP technology still has a few shortcomings that have led some to believe that it is not ready for widespread deployment. However, many industry analysts predicted that 2005 was the "Year of Inflection," where more IP PBX ports shipped than legacy digital PBX ports.\n\nImplementation challenges\n\nBecause IP does not provide any mechanism to ensure that data packets are delivered in sequential order, or provide any Quality of Service guarantees, VoIP implementations may face problems dealing with latency (especially if satellite circuits are involved), and jitter. They are faced with the problem of restructuring streams of received IP packets, which can come in any order and have packets delayed or missing, to ensure that the ensuing audio stream maintains a proper time consistency. This functionality is usually accomplished by means of a jitter buffer. Another main challenge is routing VoIP traffic to traverse certain firewalls and NAT. Intermediary devices called Session Border Controllers (SBC) are often used to achieve this, though some proprietary systems such as Skype traverse firewall and NAT without a SBC by using users' computers as super node servers to route other people's calls. Other methods to traverse firewalls involve using protocols such as STUN or ICE.\n\nDSL Internet access\n\nVoIP technology does not necessarily require broadband Internet access, but this usually supports better quality of service. A sizable percentage of homes today are connected to the Internet through DSL, which requires a traditional phone line. Having to pay for VoIP in addition to both a basic phone line and broadband Internet access reduces the potential benefits of VoIP. However, some regional telephone companies now offer DSL service without the phone (often called "naked DSL"), thus saving you money when you switch to VoIP. VoIP can also be used with Cable Internet instead of DSL, eliminating the need to purchase two telephone lines.\n\nReliability\n\nConventional telephones are connected directly to telephone company phone lines, which in the event of a power failure are kept functioning by back-up generators or batteries located at the telephone exchange. However, household VoIP hardware uses broadband modems and other equipment powered by household electricity, which may be subject to outages. In order to use VoIP during a power outage, an uninterruptible power supply or a generator must be installed on the premises. Early adopters of VoIP may also be users of other phone equipment, such as PBX and cordless phone bases, that rely on power not provided by the telephone company.\n\nSome broadband connections may have less than desirable reliability. Where IP packets are lost or delayed at any point in the network between VoIP users, there will be a momentary drop-out of voice. This is more noticeable in highly congested networks and/or where there is long distances and/or interworking between end points. Technology has improved the reliability and voice quality over time and will continue to improve VoIP performance as time goes on.\n\nEmergency calls - 911 calls\n\nThe nature of IP makes it difficult to geographically locate network users. Emergency calls, therefore, cannot easily be routed to a nearby call center, and are impossible on some VoIP systems. Moreover, in the event that the caller is unable to give an address, emergency services may be unable to locate them in any other way. Following the lead of mobile phone operators , several VoIP carriers are already implementing a technical work-around. The United States government had set a deadline, requiring VoIP carriers to implement E911, however, the deadline is being appealed by several of the leading VoIP companies.\n\nThis is a differe

HI, \nIf I were in control of vonage, I would be just a bit more user friendly in the customer service area. I felt they were a little deceiving . I needed to ask a question that would put them in a bad light and they wouldn't answer.{I forgot to mention this was on their website} I was a bit surprised , didn't feel like it was good customer relations.\nAs far as quality goes, they can only be as good as the ip service the customer is using...broadband is great but there can always be problems that would simply be out of the vonage control.\n\nI'm willing to give it a go...oh on more thing some type of firewall or similar so no one could hear your call would be great.\n\nPEACE

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.
