Wireless VoIP phones?
I am looking for a name BRAND (Linksys, Logitech, Belkin, Phillips, etc) that I can connect to my laptop thru the USB port. I have found some, but they are all restricted to either Skype use, Windows Messenger use or Yahoo Voice use. I am looking for something where I am at liberty to change VoIP service providers if I wish to, without having to change the WIRELESS phone unit. Please state make and model that meets EXACT above requirements. WIRELESS meaning... a USB dongle inserts into USB port and transmit signals (voice data) to the wireless handset.. without wires

- Sorry I don't know any specific models If you're looking for a wireless one, I think WiFi (wireless networking) phones will be easier to come by than USB wireless. WiFi VoIP phones connect directly to a wireless router, so you don't need the computer to be on to make a call (if you haven't got a wireless router, then they probably won't work). The protocol (i.e. how the phone talks to the provider) most commonly used by VoIP is called Sip. If you get a Sip-compatible phone, it will work with most providers (but NOT all of them). Why not take a trip to PC World or somewhere and see what's available?
