I have not used much online services like Skype, but I would like to do a mostly hardware IP Telephone solution.
With the impending 3G shutdown I need to revert back to telephones.
What is a step-up from MagicJack? One line for home use. I might like an oldschool RJ11 handset too.(Is MagicJack OK?)
So two part question:
1) What hardware do you recommend?
2) What service provider? I assume it is SIP server I am looking for.
I almost bought a GrandStream VOIP desk phone but I really don't know what I am looking at.
Cisco IP Phones are also littered across ebay. Are they proprietary gear or open? Maybe needing IP phone software in their switches?
This might be a good task for an embedded arm board. A phone server. What is good for that in ports?
