really??

dear all, i've a DSL line (active 24 hours), if i buy an IP-phone, can i call a friend from Paris to Japan? (i don't mean via computer, but with a PC switched off) thank you

You can use an IP phone or an analog telephone adapter plugged into your router with the computer turned off or on. If you want to call him for free, you can both sign-up for a free service like Free World Dial Up (FWD). Your friend will have to have his computer on if he uses a softphone, or will have to have an IP phone or ATA and analog phone. If you want to call him over the internet to his plain old telephone, you will have to establish an account with a provider. The call will be much less expensive, but probably not free

Yes, then the easiest thing is probably for you and your friend to sign up for free numbers at FWD and configure your IP phones for that.

Hi Robert!

I'm actually using a VoiP system that allow me to talk without using my computer. The only thing you need is an ATA device, an internet connection (not lower than 256k) and an ordinary analog telephone. The company that is offering this is

You can check this and then to decide if it will work for you. I can tell you that I'm so happy using it, I'm calling all around the globe without worring about my phone bill, the connection is great and I can use my ATA wherever I go!
