I've signed up with http://www.gradwell.com/ for a VOIP land line with
a bristol number to use as a business number. So far i've only tried
it using a softphone (x-lite) on my macbook, over wifi and it was
pretty crap quality, plus you have to switch lines and back again
before the other person can hear you when they phone in. I am going to
buy/borrow a hardware phone to plug straight into my router to see if
that is better quality, which I would presume it would be.
