I always hear of other people using setups like this and it never works for my needs. Thanks in advance!

Asstra voip phone tested on satellite internet worked with slight delay, which was very annoying.

Voip is an acronym for Voice over internet protocol, the voice packets are sent via the internet.

The Asstra telephone was configured DHCP, I could take the phone anywhere there was a modem and plug it in the phone would acquire an IP number to enable service. Voice packets are small and do not require high speed internet.

Using the voip.ms app on your cellular phone is not going to use a lot of data.

At at first when you get a voip.ms account some countries by default will be blocked, after you email a picture such as a drivers license with the same address you used for the account they will unblock counties previously not available to you. Not sure about US protocol on which countries are black listed.

I have lent my phone to friends who have made calls to the Philippines and Trinidad, I myself have made calls to the UK. Had I used my cell phone the cost would have been through the roof whereas using voip.ms those calls were billed out at $0.01 cents a minute at 6 second increments.

For those of you using pre-paid calling cards with only 4 or five minutes left on them just toss the card because you may experience a disconnection during the call when the funds run out. With voip.ms if you have $20.00 in your account the only monthly fee would be for minutes used and the number. Your only billed for the calls you make, if the person your calling is a voip.ms customer the call is free
plus all 1 800 numbers.

With voip.ms you can have a 1-800 number good for USA or USA/Canada or International, the per minute cost is a bit more.



Regarding your choice of telephone number the locations are numerious, for instance you could have a virtual office in Brazil or Australia with out leaving home.
