Re: [General] VOIP newbie Verizon does allow naked DSL, i.e. DSL without phone service. They just charge you $5 more/mth. As for Skype, you need to have yr computer on 24/7 to receive calls. I started off with Skype with an adapter to hook up my Uniden cordless phone. Was OK for me as I already run a server but SIP protocol is much better as it runs on a PAP2 which consumes minimal power and no dependency on a running computer. I've since turned off my Skype and slowly migrating most of my friends over to SIP. |
