Do any of you guys use Internet Phone.
If you have Broadband you can do it. (minimum 512 speed) If you have cable BB then you don't need a ph line. If you have ADSL BB then you need at least 1 standard ph line, but you can choose the cheapest line rental, with high call cost because you don't make any outgoing calls..
Here's what I have.
1 x std ph line (Telstr $25 / mth)
1 x ADSL Broad Band acc (TPG $80 / mth) I have extras for the business & so the higher cost.
1 x Engin Internet Ph account ($19/mth) which inlcudes
1 x Local ph number in Bris (so the family can ring at local call cost)
1 x Local Melbourne ph number.
1 x Telstra Local Melbourne number
The Brisbane number is atomatically re-directed to my Melb home at no charge to me or the caller.
Outgoing CALL CHARGES
ALL national (Australia) calls are UNTIMED and FREE
ALL international calls are UNTIMED and AU$0.20 / call
ALL calls to mobiles are AU$0.20 / minute
When you set up the I-phone you receive a "voice Box". This is connected direct to your BB modem. You also connect your standard home ph (single or multi system).
When a call comes in on any of the ph numbers the house ph rings as usual.
When an outgoing call is made the voice-box automatically sends the call out over the internet. If the power to the voice-box is cut, or the internet is down the outgoing call will be sent via the standard ph line. (with std charges from carrier)
I have the import business so I'm in the ph to other countries a lot.
Last mth my total INTERNATIONAL call time was 37hrs on the ph. The ph bill (Telstra line + Engin) was $65.00
