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.

Some ISPs who use Verizon lines do not charge extra for dry DSL. For instance, I use DSLExtreme. But watch out for their rate increase after the first year.
