I've been looking in to using VoIP for my house. I don't mind paying money for equipment, but am trying to avoid as many monthly charges as I can. Free is best, and I think it might be possible if I used a seperate carrier for incoming and outgoing calls. The only thing I'm concerned with is that I want my inbound number to be local so that when people call me, they won't have to pay long distance charges.
I've heard of using GrandCentral to route calls through a local number to an SIP number, but unfortunately that beta is closed. The only other similar free service I have found is IPKall.com, but their area code would be long distance (Washington area code).
I have a number that is within my area code from Briing.com that I can forward to any land line. If I got an Washington number from IPKall and had my Briing forward to that, does anyone know if that would charge my callers long distance? Does anyone have any other free inbound voip setups in mind?
