Take a WLAN router, throw in a high-speed internet connection and what do you have? Easy and inexpensive internet telephony!

This device also has a portable handset which makes VoIP an option even on the road. In your hotel, at the airport, or at your local coffee shop, you only one click away.

The phone also includes speakerphone, address book, and CLIP (caller id). Oh and don't forget the voice-mail indicator which works even when the computer is turned off and a choice of ring-tones. How much more can you ask for!
