VOIP calls with PC turned off
Hi
I have got Skype VOIP with Skypeout. Now I want to get Skypein but can anyone tell me is there a way which will enable me to make calls out and receive calls with the PC turned off but the modem on? |

See http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...d.php?t=365346
Post number 4 last paragraph. You'll have to ditch Skype and get a proper service, along with a VOIP router. I've been running this for around a year now, replacing my phone line with this setup. The service has been good and I've more than recouped the cost of the router back. Don't scrimp - it will set you back around £70+ for the router I mention, but the cheaper ones aren't worth the hassle they will cause you. (Here's the first link I found to one - http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=129559 - you might find it cheaper if you look around). |

I too believe Skype Hype is a toy town service.

I agree also. I love being able to turn my PC off and still use proper, standards compliant, cheaper SIP / IAX2 based VoIP. I do pay for my geographical numbers (sipgate didn't work well for me, and I wanted my numbers to come in on IAX2 not SIP) and it's very reliable.
Why pay extortionate rates for a rubbish service (skype) than use sipgate or voiptalk etc with an adaptor that plugs into your router which is far cheaper and easier? |

Thanks everyone for your comments. I started with Skype as it was the only one I heard about at the time. Now I shall go and check out the others.
