Press Release Body = Netgear's much hyped Skype Wifi phone has finaly begun to hit
the shelves ending years of speculation and rumour. What many do not realize is that
this device is simply the prima donna of a family of wifi phone devices, with Skype
software preloaded, that let you make Skype calls over any accessible wireless
network.

Skype calls without wires or computers may seem like an attractive prospect and
there has been a certain amount of anticipation regarding the launch of these
phones. Skype has a huge and dedicated user base and for the hardcore Skype user
access to Skype through any wifi access point prevents an irresistible prospect.

However, many people may be unaware that what these wifi phones offer, cheap calls
over the internet without a computer, has been available through the use of SIP
services for a long long time. These SIP services such as Babble, Gradwell and the
VoIPBuster family of companies offer their own VoIP tarrifs and rates and frequently
their call charges are cheaper than Skype, they also have their own wifi phones!

While Skype wifi phones come locked to Skype, SIP wifi phones can be configured and
re-configured to use the provider of your choice so you can chop and change
providers as your needs or wallet dictate. They function in very much the same way
as Skype wifi phones and give you the same key benefit of wireless VoIP calls.

I-VoIP has just launched a huge new range of Wifi phones fo both SIP and Skype. We
also offer help and advice on which SIP service provider to choose and a
configuration service for those customers who want their phone to arrive ready to
use straight out of the box. With I-VoIP.co.uk very cheap calls now come without
strings, or wires, attached.
