LG Wireless Phone

Is there a cost to use a wifi phone at home?

If I purchase a quality wireless router for my dsl at home, and a wifi phone, will there be any charge to call landlines and cell phones? I have a great deal on my internet and home landline. The landline doesnot include long distance. If I set up a wifi at home and bought a skype ready phone, does it cost to call non skype numbers?

1. you have to sign up for Skype
2. You will need SOME VoIP service. They range from cheap to free to low cost.... and everything in between. T-Mobile @HOME is something to look at, but costs $10 a month and requires THEIR WiFi combo cell phone. VONAGE.COM is a great monthly $25/month service. SKYPE is also an option, but requires custom PC-connected hardware. My favorite today is MAGICJACK.COM which charges $20 A YEAR, and hooks up to your PC and to your regualr PHONE LINE. Works with ordinary phones plugged in. It requires the PC to be running all the time.
3. 1. Will there be any charge to call landline & cell phone using your wifi phone? YES. First, to enable the wifi phone make phonecall you have to sign with a VOIP provider,such as Skype,YMvoice,Netcall4less etc.They allow free call only to their member to member calls.If you want to make call out their network (to landline n cellphone) you have to buy credit /minutes.The phone company does not charge wifi phone,the cost do phone company charge you is the monthly DSL connection and phone calls bill. 2. Does it cost to call non skype member? YES.Skype have it called SkypeOUT,which allow you to call homephone n cell phone number.Its not FREE.You have to buy credit from Skype.
