Well, every time I try to bring up this story I get a 404 message.

Would have liked to read it.

Perhaps someone can give me some information.

I am looking to replace my cellular flip phone with a WiFi only VOIP phone that is compatible with Callcentric.

I need it to be as compact and as easy to use as my Kyocera. It must be rechargeable with a generic [not a proprietary] USB [four port 50 watt] charger.

I will carry it with me and use it at public WiFi points. Some of those WiFi points are encrypted security so it must be able to handle that.

So far, I haven't found anything like that that can be used with VOIP services like Callcentric.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate a direct email.

Regards,

Fred
