VOIP

No, not a hiccupping sound or other bodily emanation. It stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol and it's the hottest thing coming through your broadband connection. Flat rate local and long distance calling. In some cases it's free.

I am currently using SKYPE (free if calling other SKYPE users). It sounds great. Vonage is another provider. Even the big guys are getting into it. AT&T, Verizon, SBC and Comcast are launching service.

Check it out.

Could anyone tell me if flyfone voip generally work best with a broadband or wireless Internet connection? Is internet telephony a good solution to replace the standard phones that we are used to have?
