Internet phone calls with no attachment (to a PC)
Review of Linksys CIT200, Cordless Internet Telephony Kit by
K1ttyCat
Advantages: Cheap/free internet calls using a normal phone - no headsets
Disadvantages: Ringer quiet
...and found a place just by doing a search on CIT200. I should say it doesn't appear cheap because we've saved the cost in only a few months. We call relatives in the USA every day and previously the best special rate we found was 3p/min. The cost of calls has halved with Skype and even though it's pence per minute saved, it quickly builds up.
So what did we spend?
Skype software Free
Linksys £70
SkypeIn number £20 (€30) per year - not essential but see below
Call Credits £7 (€10) for about 10 hours
What did we get?
The Linksys, some call credits and an inbound number. Or to put it another way, we got a second phone line with a normal (to use) phone and very cheap or free calls. Plus our relative in the States can call us here for the cost of a local call (about 3 US cents per call, not per minute!) because our inbound number is "located" close...
