I have recently started using iconnecthere.com for voip (pc-to-phone) telephony and I love it (2cents per minute to the USA if you sign up through msn messenger). However, I can only make calls not receive them.

What I want to do is use a 800 freecall service such as ureach.com and somehow have the calls forwarded to a number that somehow I can answer using voip on my PC. I note that iconnecthere.com have a page titled "receiving calls" but it says that the service is "comming soon" http://www.iconnecthere.com/nonmembers/services/receive.asp

Anyone know of any service currently available that allows you to receive calls on your PC? (BTW, I am in AU and having a US number that I can receive calls on over voip would be bloody brilliant). :)

OK, I have just started googling and found http://www.vonage.com/digitalvoice/rates.phtml If others have other suggestions, that would be great. One thing is that vontage.com say you need a min upload speed of 90Kb/sec Unfortunately, I will be moving next week and have to give up my cable connection and will probably be going to a single channel ISDN - 64Kb/sec. (maybe I should go for dual channel ISDN). Hmm, any advice is appreciated. :)

The screen shots show a bunch of VoIP products. Find it at: http://www.powertalk.com/products/screenshots_vc.html .

The voicemail demo is online and works hella cool. Find it at: http://www.powertalk.com/products/screenshots_vc.html .

Pros: Looks cool, looks like it may work.
Cons: No pricing yet, and lauch date is Sept 23, 2002.
