Wifi Phones Are Here but should we SIP or Skype:

    /24-7PressRelease/ - SURREY, UK, August 26, 2006 - Netgear's much hyped Skype Wifi phone has finaly begun to hit the shelves ending years of speculation and rumour. What many do not realize is that this device is simply the prima donna of a family of wifi phone devices, with Skype software preloaded, that let you make Skype calls over any accessible wireless network.

Skype calls without wires or computers may seem like an attractive prospect and there has been a certain amount of anticipation regarding the launch of these phones. Skype has a huge and dedicated user base and for the hardcore Skype user access to Skype through any wifi access point prevents an irresistible prospect.

However, many people may be unaware that what these wifi phones offer, cheap calls over the internet without a computer, has been available through the use of SIP services for a long long time. These SIP services such as Babble, Gradwell and the VoIPBuster family of companies offer their own VoIP tarrifs and rates and frequently their call charges are cheaper than Skype, they also have their own wifi phones!

While Skype wifi phones come locked to Skype, SIP wifi phones can be configured and re-configured to use the provider of your choice so you can chop and change providers as your needs or wallet dictate. They function in very much the same way as Skype wifi phones and give you the same key benefit of wireless VoIP calls.
