The website says I get local phone number and caller ID and all but it didn't say that I can receive the phone call. Also does the phone needs to be connected to the computer to get the phone call? If it wasn't connected, would it go to voice mail? Thanks. Roger, what do you mean by you will not be affected by power outage? What kind of power back up do you have?

is there anyway to convert a landline phone signal to 802.11b/g wifi signal? specifically, i am trying to configure a way to use a wifi phone with my optimum voice(ov) by cablevision account so that i will have "hotspot"connectivity through my home phone connection. although cablevision claims that it's ov service is "voip", it is not really. they use an intergrated optimum online(ool) and ov cable modem to route the 2 signals separately over the same cable at different bandwidths. the ov signal never crosses onto the ool signal so it is never truly on the internet protocol and can not be accessed from the internet. i would like to find a device that coverts it over or bridges it onto the internet so that it could be accesssed wirelessly. any ideas? maybe quicklogic has a solution, arcticlink? i do realize that ov is also not a true landline either although it incorporates landline equipment and inhouse wiring into its system. it is a sort of hybrid system that i will call "cablelandline" or simply "cableline". i envision a device and software that connects my landline and/or cableline to my to my home 802.11b/g wireless router and recognizes me as the serviceprovider subscriber, i.e. my home telephone # for 2-way calling from wifi "hotspots" or access points.

With any software/hardware (and ubiquitous WiFi), is there any complete WiFi cell phone solution? I would like to get rid of my Cingular monthly cell plan and use VoIP instead since it's so much cheaper, and I have WiFi everywhere on my college campus. Will any combination of software (e.g. Skype, Gizmo, Yahoo) and hardware (Pocket PC, Palm, Smartphone) allow me to pull this off? So far I have found Skype + Pocket PC with SkypeIn and SkypeOut. This looks good but I'm not sure how receiving calls would work (i.e. if the Pocket PC would run out of batteries after being on round the clock). Plus, I would need a headset. Does anyone know if I can yet achieve my dream of a WiFi cell phone with quality sound?

What are your results using Yachtspot at the marina? What is your typical connection speed with Yachtspot WiFi? Do you have any issues with losing your connection? What about during a storm - any issues with connection or speed? I work from home and need to have a reliable and fast connection, would you recommend this service? I power a VoIP phone as well my internet based applications. I currently use a VoIP phone on Comcast at the house. I am not as happy with current phone as I was with Vonage, also on Comcast. I'm not sure what the problem is unless it has something to do with the current phone having to talk to a server at my company's headquarters perhaps? I get feedback, people say I sound like I'm in a bucket sometimes - I was told this was because of the speed of my connection since it is consistently a problem. So, shall I expect it to be even worse on a boat?

Help with DS Homebrew Apps DSAIM and voIP Phone Thingy? I've downloaded the AIM and the Cell Phone apps for the R4DS, but they don't work. I've done everything correct.

VoIP on iPhone? I know this might sound like a stupid question, since the iPhone is a phone in and of itself, but I'm wondering if there's anyway to make VoIP calls on the iPhone over WiFi.

I know TMobile has some kind of plan like that, but I wonder if there's any kind of application for the iPhone that can do the same thing by itself.

What about the possibility of Skype developing something that will run on the new ipods? Maybe Apple has already considered this, or maybe even has this planned for future versions? oh the possibilities!!!!!!!

Philips VOIP8411B/37 Skype wireless phone how does it work? hi so i'm thinking of getting a Philips VOIP8411B/37 Skype wireless phone. i want to use it in internet cafes or hot spots. i see that it comes packaged with some type of base. the question is do i have to plug anything into a computer like a USB dongle to get this to work or can i simple just walk into a wifi spot and make international phone calls for free to a skype user? i really want one if it works. if it's clear and easy to use and i can just walk into a wifi spot and take a call then i want it. if the technology is not there...i don't want to buy it. also can anyone explain what this new technology called "DECT" technology does? here is what i'm looking at: http://cgi.ebay.com/Philips-VOIP8411B-37-Skype-Certified-VOIP-DECT-Phone_W0QQitemZ310008106544QQihZ021QQcategoryZ121146QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

MacBook problem switching between Airport and Ethernet? I use my MacBook both at my desk and around the property. Historically, when I have been at my desk, I have plugged in the Ethernet cable for faster speeds... and when I am up and around, I use the WiFi/Airport. Here lately, for no reason it seems, my MacBook will only connect to the Net via wireless. I can be at my desk with the Ethernet cable plugged in, but it still connects *only* through Airport. When I turn Airport off, there is no connection even though the Ethernet cable is plugged in. I know the router is fine, since we have three VOIP phone lines hooked into it working perfectly. Is there a setting or something I need to check? I have not made any changes to the network preferences lately. Any help is appreciated.

Can you get a 3G iPhone without a plan?? I want the phone since its cheaper than an iTouch But no AT&T? Look :http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-purchase-and-activation-will-be-in-store-only/ If thats true, it sounds like you wont be able just buy a phone and jailbreak it. Im sure the prices of the Touces will dramaticly drop but Id still rather pay $299 for a iphone because it has speakers and a built in MIC for voip through wifi... Please let me knoe!

iPod touch or iPhone? I recently bought an 8gb iPod Touch. It is so rad. But is an iPhone still more cool? I was thinking about buying an iPhone, but with the obligated new 2-year agreement, I decided against it. The only difference between an iPod touch and iPhone is the iPhone has: a phone (obviously), Bluetooth, Edge, & a camera. Other than that, iPhones are thicker, heavier, and you have to pay for a plan... And a new one at that. However, for the iPod touch, they just came out with VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)... To where all you need to buy is a microphone for your iPod touch and you can make calls when your connected to WiFi. That is cool and it makes an iPod touch essentially an iPhone. With the exeption of having to be connected to WiFi. ANYWAYS, to sum it up, what do you think is better and/or more cool. iPod Touch, or iPhone???

How can I increase my internet speed? I use an aircard, which relies on cell phone towers for access. I am with centennial wireless, i called them and they told me there is no way possible to do this, because it depends on the towers, yet many companies out there are able to make their satellite users service compatible with VOIP's which is what I need for my work at home jobs. Dial-up,DSL and cable connections are not an option for me. I know this is a tricky one guys, but I need the help desperately. Also, they told me I could get a modem that uses wifi and has a VOIP built into it, which would offer speeds comparable to DSL, and I could bring the modem any where in the service area and plug in anyone's phone jack, but this still uses satellite connection, so I asked the difference b/w that and my aircard, and I was told the "equipment" which by the way is $499.99, plus $40 dollars/month. Compared to my aircard($99) and monthly unlimited service($40).sounds like they are just trying to make more money. when I asked if ever the speeds for aircards would be increased to be compared with DSL, like the modems can, which is still uses the same point the, the tower. His response was "maybe" what can I do. I can only work from home, I need faster upload and downloads for the job b/c of the VOIP. Please help, any one with any suggestions or other options will be thanked.

Salary Expectations? Hi, I am due to enter negotiations regarding my salary. I have around 8 years experience in IT from a career point of view, and have trained towards an MCSA (waiting for exams). I am looking after 14 servers in 3 locations. We are opening another office down south which I will be expected to support The servers include 4 DC'c, 2 Exchange servers, 1 SQL Server, File Servers, FTP Servers; as well as the company phone system, copiers, software licencing and 3 netscreens and 1 WiFi bridge and to support approx 45 staff I am also expected to source new technology like media players, etc for the work the company actually does. We are increasing the servers to around 20 in the next fews months as well implementing company wide VoIP technology and better WAN comms. What I need to know is should I be asking for more than the £25,000 plus car I am currently on? My TItle is IT Manager and I am in the East Midlands area Cheers Incedently I did study and gain a Computer Science HND (Could not afford the extra two years!!) I consider the title more Management of IT rather than "IT Manager", but I do attend the main management meetings, and am considered a senior member of staff. I only ask the question after a conversation I had with someone who said that people he had intervoed and knew in my area, and in similar sized businesses were earning better packages than me. It is sometimes difficult to measure yourself against the industry standard when working for an SME as you are expected to wear so many hats. In repsonse to some of the questions, yes I do support all the Server applications, although I do require more specialised support for SQL. I also do basic front line support for the end user applications like 3D max, Microstation and Solidworks.
