Making phone calls over the Internet isn't just for the tech savvy anymore. Using VoIP (or Voice over Internet Protocol) is easier than ever before, with several services out there that can help drastically reduce your phone bill. Here's everything you need to know about VoIP in Australia.
Skype, a pioneer that kick-started the mass uptake of VoIP phone calls, has grown into an Internet phenomenon with over 100 million users and still counting. If you haven't jumped on the Skype bandwagon yet, CNET.com.au will show you how.
The TA612V is a solid unit that provides a low-cost way to make VoIP calls. It is a good choice for a household or small home office where users are keen to cut their telephone bills.
If you want a simple VoIP box with PSTN pass-through, the Voicebox 3102 is it. It's a pity that it's locked to one VoIP provider, however, making it a slightly expensive option.

Netgear SPH101 Wi-Fi Skype Phone
If you're hopeless Skypeaholic with a home Wi-Fi router, the SPH101 is your dream product. If you're a budget minded VoIP fanatic, maybe not.
The Linksys CIT400 allows you to make both land-line and Skype calls, all without a PC.
The SPA2100 is a good quality VoIP ATA, and comes highly recommended, although we'd suggest shopping around for an unlocked unit.

I bought that exact USB phone here in Tokyo. It's branded BUFFALO, who have a major presence across Japan in IT goods. It's a nice phone, clear and light. Occassionally though, it doesn't boot properly. Other than that, it has been a great device. Of course it works with other VOIP software like MSN Messenger and Yahoo.
