This can come in the way of a handset or as a soft phone, downloadable onto your computer. Your choice of VoIP phone will depend greatly on whether it is for a residential VoIP system or a Business VoIP phone system. This will also be a big determining factor on the price you pay for your VoIP phone. If you are looking to purchase a VoIP phone for a residential VoIP system then you will probably looking to spend in the way of one hundred dollars. As it is only for residential VoIP you will no doubt be looking for a basic type phone setup and high functionality will probably be less of a determining factor than price or reliability. VoIP providers like My Net Phone have pre packaged bundells that are available from several larger retail outlets which have proved to be quite popular. This takes the difficulties out of having to design a residential VoIP set up for the less technical amongst us who still want to make the most of the savings available by connecting to VoIP.

I tend to lean toward Linksy's or snom because they have been proven in the marketplace and although they may be a bit pricier than brands like Grandstream they have the reliability and functionality to match.
