> [@jetlounge](#): > > when you dial out you can show your GC# as your call id? how? Find a SIP client that allows you to send your own caller id. Voipbuster gives you free calling from US to US. Find a provider that lets you shoot your own caller ID then link up the accounts. If you can’t do it for free, you sure as hell can do it cheaper than any home phone service. ---

I design data and voice networks for big businesses so I am caught up. Haha. SIP is a protocol that allows communication, status, messages, etc. over data networks. A SIP provider and a SIP device automatically work. Still a work in progress but becoming more and more popular. Personally, I am not spent on those devices. ya they give you the ability to use your standard phone and give you more features but if you have a lot of people using your internet connection (ie. kids downloading, etc) then you are asking for problems. I have a 1.5mbps dsl line at home. If someone is downloading, voice calls will suck in quality and delay. They do make USB phones that you can use with Skype or VoipBuster (Free US to US calling from your PC) and can use any SIP capable device and accomplish the same free calling. Couple that with a incoming number that people can use to call you which is only a few bucks a year and poof, you have yourself VoIP at home. Only problem with this is that you need your computer on 24/7 to get calls. ---
