SIP Phone convenience...

Technology has evolved again. I've been doing MSN messenger with my mum with audio and video for about 24 months now. This is all great technologies and great video quality [especially with Logitech camera] since we have broadband on both end. The problem is since she don't know how to operate a computer, she have to rely on help from my sibling.

Recently, we bought SIP phone (search for "SIP Phone" on MSN Search). It's a hardware-based just like a conventional telephone and it's just so much convenience and no more IDD calls or calling card. If your computer is turn on 24x7, you can also have a SIP software.

There are also higher-end SIP hardware that comes with camera and lcd display. For now, I'm fine with what I have.
