Cheapest Linksys SPA3102 I could find was for £44.60 delivered from here:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/107215/show_product_specifications
The pap2 are going for £26-28 on Egay. And thought the SPA3102 offers better value for money
I registered for a free UK landline here:
www.sipgate.co.uk
And will configure the SPA3102 to use one of the cheap voip providers to make outgoing calls.
For those not in the know I got this from another forum:
Advantages of a spa 3102 over a pap2T or pap2:
1: The spa is also a router so there is no need to have an external router on so you can have the pap2 and pc internet connected to the same modem. (saves electricity)
2: The spa can have upto 1 incoming and 4 outgoing accounts on line 1 and either a voip or pstn account on line 2 - what this means is that you can have an incoming voip and seperate outgoing voip account with only using 1 plugged in telephone (with the pap2 you need two telephones plugged in to do this).
3: You can phone your spa3102 from any telephone/mobile and have the spa3102 route your call via a voip provider to anywhere in the world - what this means is that say for instance you wanted to phone america from your mobile phone from on the bus - you mobile phone company would charge you alot of money. You can phone your pstn or incoming voip number on line two of the spa and the spa can then use line 1 to dial America or any other number for free. if you have free minutes or a magic number you can dial you can basically dial anywhere in the world for free (if your voip account supports the country in it's free list).
