Re: VoIP service with hardphone, softphone & Voice
Any VOIP provider that lets you bring your own device (BYOD) and doesn't lock the device to their service should work with either a VOIP adapter or a soft phone. For the purposes of this discussion, a soft phone qualifies as a device.
This thread has a partial list of BYOD providers: »Up-to-date list of providers that have BYOD ? . I've had brief but good experience with »Teliax.com and longer but variable results with »BroadVoice.com .
Some providers won't let you have two devices (such as an adapter and a soft phone) registered at the same time. Others explicitly allow multiple active devices and simultaneous conversations.
There are also providers who supply you with an adapter and lock it, but let you use a soft phone as a second line. »Vonage.com and »VoicePulse.com come to mind.
Voicemail access methods vary from one provider to another. You would need to look at each offering to see if it fits your needs.
