I'm overseas and have a high speed internet connection. What is the easiest phone service to use?

Question

I'd like to pay as little as possible. Have it be cordless with good range. I want to be able to make and receive phone calls just as in the USA.

Answer 1

You may want to check out the Panasonic Joip GlobaRange Hybrid Phone system.

It works as a dual phone - a cordless PSTN landline phone, and a cordless VoIP phone.  Plugs directly into your broadband router - No PC required to use.  All calls to other Joip users are free.  Calls to other USA landlines and cells is only 1.5 cent/min.

Joip claims it only takes about 3 minutes to install and start making calls.

Answer 2

If you are in U.S Try Vonage, it's way cheaper than any other landline phone service. But you will need internet connection for that thou.

Or get a cell phone simple... take anywhere u like...

Answer 3

I would say that the MagicJack is the perfect device for that . Everyone is using it now to call back to the USA.

you just plug the MJ device into your USB drive and use any old phone to connect!

You have a large choice of US area-codes, just register the MG get your number and go!! Takes about 5 minutes to set up.
