VoIP Telephone

[Andrew Peterson]

Hey all, has anyone used a VoIP telephone before? I have found a website that gives me information on them ( http://www.cloudtelephones.co.uk/ ) and i wondered if anyone else could give me more information? Im trying to get a VoIP phone and i would like to know more about them before i do! Any advice please? Thanks in advanced! Andrew.

I've got several VOIP phones from years ago.  They plug into the USB port and act just like a regular phone when using Skype or other VOIP services.

 

Which means they're just another form of a speaker and a microphone.  Nowadays, it's just as easy to use a headset with a microphone, your computer's speakers with a microphone, or any speaker and any microphone that will plug into your computer.

 

And the sound quality is generally much better with even a cheap headset than my VOIP phones.

 

The speaker and microphone aren't the make-or-break part of VOIP.  The VOIP service you choose is critical, though.
