VoIP phones
Skye, Yahoo, Vonage... just a few of the online Voice Over IP (VoIP) phone services. Call the UK for only a penny per minute, anywhere in the USA for about 2 cents. Skype or Yahoo online free! Get a local phone number for as low as $2.50. What's not to love about VoIP? It rocks!

Panasonic does Skype VoIP
Panasonic is bringing a new twist to the old-fashioned cordless phone market by announcing it will ship a set of Skype-compatible handsets in the second half of the year. The phones will connect through regular DECT base-stations into the public phone service and via a broadband internet link to Skype’s P2P network.
The KX-TG9000 series lets users choose which way outgoing calls are routed. And it will automatically relay both landline and VoIP calls through to the handset. The phones will not only support free calls between Skype accounts, but also work with SkypeIn, SkypeOut and Voicemail services.
According to Panasonic, this will “push VoIP into the mainstream”. No word on pricing, but expect this to drop in the second half of this year in “some European countries.”
