Hi i am considering buying a voip phone and am interested in buying a Tesco internet phone (this is because i work for tesco and get discounts.)
BUT i want to connect the phone straight to my netgear wireless modem thus eliminating the need for my pc to be on. The phone comes with a USB connector, my modem has not got a usb connection. Is there an adaptor that i could use to convert the connection so it looks like an ethernet plug? If yes would it actually work?

Tesco VoIP is one of the dearest VoIP providers, Skype the other. There are many VoIP providers out there all offering cheaper calls.

Unless you get a discount on the calls package and not just the device, then it's not worth going with the Tesco VoIP service.
