Not bothered about incoming calls on voip.

Seems daft to me. Thats the main benefit!

Maplin have a voip / USB adaptor (~15 pounds), several on e-Bay.
These would allow me to connect any phone - eg a cordless to use it
round the house and/or a wired phone in my office.

Recommendations please for such a unit.


Yes, I recommend that you don't buy such a unit.

Buy an Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA) and plug a proper phone in, so you
don't need a computer running to make a call.

Slightly more expensive, but a far better solution that you won't throw
away, as you would with the USB effort.
