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.

If this isnt in the right tab for the forum please someone alert me and i'll move it. Again thanks for any replies and advice

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.
