Netgear TA612V VoIP Phone Adaptor, for cable and adsl users, lets you plug up to 2 standard phones in. No messy configuration changes on your pc. No phone software needed. In fact, you can have your PC turned off and still have conversations.
Confirming I am on Telstra cable and this is working for me.
This deal is meant for people who do not have VOIP, or who's VOIP plan is not so good (mind your exit costs though). Oh, people should have one spare phone as well.
It's a very cheap and easy way to get into VOIP. If you have two spare phones, it also gives you two lines quickly. … (ie you can make two calls at a time … you need to get the direct in dial numbers as extras or through a plan if you want to receive calls through your VOIP service)
It's the start of dropping one's phone bills quite a bit.
The adaptor is network locked plus they do it only if u sign up on a direct debit on ur credit card !! :(
