Anyone using VOIP?

I had a play around with SJphone and like it. It's simple to use (though a bit weird to setup initially) and installation consists of unpacking into any directory and running it (libs are in a sub-dir).
Haven't tried it on DSL yet SJphone download page

Has anyone disconnected their landline and moved to voip exclusively? (Cable or wireless users of course!)

Cheers

Haven't used VOIP for much more than talking to people online.

Skype is great, and free, and works with DSL. www.skype.com

Of course, DSL already has gphone, which does a passable job.

I use SIP daily in MS Windows. Windows Messenger works adequate for SIP services and reduces the hassle of additional client install. Better clients are available than Windows Messenger.

Dumped my landline phone a year ago since SIP provders starting offering telephone gateways. www.sipphone.net provides outstanding simple service. Many other SIP providers great service but expensive fixed monthly plans that don't cover the countries I need.

I 'll dump Windows in a minute if DSL had SIP capability (maybe My DSL). Still searching monthly for DSL SIP since I am not a Linux hack.

DSL gphone apears to be simple IP to IP propriatary VoIP, but not sure.

There's a Linux version of X-Lite but haven't tested it with DSL yet:

I use Vonage with a cable modem, and have cancelled my landline. So far it's great except when Adelphia's servers go down.
