I pay BT nothing! All my telecoms are through Pipex. You cn get equivelant to 'Free' Line rental deals from some companies, i.e. you pay £19.99 a month for everything.

Yes, but the point I was making is that you can't get adsl without a phone line. You can choose to have the rental from someone other than BT but you still need the phone line - you can't just do away with it.

Can't make my mind up whether to go for one of these or one of the Netgear VOIP adapters at Staples

If you already have a router, you can also get adaptors that plug into an ethernet port that allow you to use an analogue phone for VOIP.

On ebay for less than £30, search for "voip ata" .}

Considering getting one myself.

Can posters be clear as to which of these 'phones plug into a USB port and which are wireless connections via the modem/router that don't need the the PC to be 'on'?

Thanks Kilty but the rocking horse droppings comment from RRB made my mind up. Now the proud owner of a Netgear VOIP adapter, cost £19.91

Damn Tharweb you are lucky.

I was considering buying one at £50 :eek: but I think I'll go for a cheap ATA adaptor instead since the Netgear is meant to be very difficult to set up behind an ADSL router.
