selfabuse - thanks for the post! kphone/pi is sweet.. it works awesome on 6000.
As soon as I got kpone/pi setup, I registered for accounts on the following VOIP networks:
Voice-PulseNufoneFree World Dialup (FWD)Here are some thoughts on the three:
FWD seems to be the best so far
- comprehensive website with nice features (call history, messages, etc.)
- great configuration instructions on website (even specific instructions for kphone!)
- offers multiple ways to test setup/connection (echo test, call back, and even a number to call (55555) to speak to a real person - kinda funny)
- no setup costs at all
Voice-Pulse - $10 non-refundable cost (adds $10 to your account for PSTN calls)
- decent site with limited configuration instructions
- I couldn't get kphone to register to voice-pulse network, even though I used the correct login/password
- I also tried the config on the x-lite softphone on my powerbook, still couldn't register
Nufone- works fine, but they have a very simplistic website and features. Hardly anything for configuration instructions (except for the tiny bit you get in the confirmation email)
- was able to configure it and could receive calls via my ID@ipaddress, but couldn't get STUN setup (so that I could receive calls at offroadgeek@switch-2.nufone.net)
Using the 6000 as a VOIP phone is really nice. It's totally comfortable to put the back of the zaurus to your ear and use it like a regular phone. My test calls were very clear.
I wonder how many people with a 6000 will actually use it as a voip phone? Also, if you want to do any reading on anything VOIP, check out
