BeyondPhone has a great looking softphone for Windows. A relatively small 2.7 Meg download allows you to start using VoIP today. Their website says their software will work with a 33.6 dialup connection and faster speeds. Broadband Internet is preferred for smooth conversations without latency.

PC to PC calls within the Beyond Phone VoIP network are free. This feature is a real money saver for those that travel, have students away at school, or business partners abroad. When you connect to the Internet you register your software with the BeyondPhone sever. You can be anywhere in the world and still receive telephone calls and place telephone calls.

Unlike your home phone number in a fixed location, or your cell phone with a fixed telephone number, VoIP telephony using soft phones, USB phones or wireless phones allow you to do many things. For outbound calls you must fund your account. Beyond Phone has competitive low rates. Call all over the world, no commitment, pay as you go.

Devices, such as the IP Phones, LAN Phones and Gateways can be used with BeyondPhone. These low cost devices connect directly to your existing internet connection and remove the need to make calls using your PC. They are ideal for call shops, internet cafes, business use or even home use, and Beyond Phone will help you with setup and configuration.

It is possible - and actually quite easy - to use standard cordless phones with BeyondPhone using a Grandstream ATA 486 or similar device. We recommend trying their softphone for sure. Their website is here
