Lee_D:
Calls on the Tesco one are free to other Tesco ones.

Calls to other land line and mobiles attract a cost.

You can get adapters from Tesco too that plug your existing phone in to a router so it's on all the time even if the computer is off unlike the USB one I have. USB for me is fine as it's in addition to our normal landline.

You can also get phones that do both the internet phone and traditional phone line should you wish.


Guy at work is emigrating to Canada and is taking one with him. He gets to ring family for free who also have tesco phones and also gets to retain a UK style phone number to encourage friends to call him and not be scared of a big bill for doing so (for those calling of a normal landline).

All very cunning!

I think one of it's best features is the free voicemail too if your puter (if you get the USB type) is off.

--- Quote from: "Disco Matt" ---Fair enough then - I was just a bit intrigued as the IP phone I have (but haven't used) works via USB. Obviously you can keep a connection going armed with an inverter, 12v jump start pack and laptop PC but only for an hour at most before the 12v pack runs out of juice...

Fair play mate, didn't realise it is a USB phone.  The ones I deal with work over cat5 type sockets, direct into the network.

This was spotted in the Maplin bargain bin - £5 for an optical mouse that doubles as a Skype-compatible phone seemed worth a go.  8)
