VOIP

After finding out my home phone bill is going up I have decided to bid adieu to the old phone line and give VOIP (Voice Over Interent Protocol) a go.

I'll keep blogging on my experiences as I go and hopefully will be reporting back on the ease of use and high quality of calls that VOIP provides.

The first step is to buy an ATA adapter - this is a box that connects my phone handset to my modem. I just went to 6 shops in the Sydney CBD (including 4 specialty computer stores) and none of them have them.  You wonder why everyone does their shopping on the internet these days!

I had already found two sources on the net but thought maybe I could save on the delivery fee. Ha, no chance.  So off websurfing I go!
