Can sit horizontally or vertically to take up the minimum amount of space
Included voicemail box
Good call quality
The bad:
If you're not using a combined modem/router, the unit's single Ethernet LAN port means you'll need a switch to connect more than one PC
The automated voicemail prompts can be annoyingly slow to use
The bottomline:
The TA612V is a solid unit that provides a low-cost way to make VoIP calls. It is a good choice for households or small home offices keen to cut their telephone bills.
