I forgot where I saw it, but it was like real phone which has a local phone
number and the phone is attached to Internet directly or via a special box.
Unlike other IP phones, this service can receive calls.
I did google search, but only found pagoo, which does not provide this
serivice any more. There is also a company called ZipGlobal
http://zipglobal.com/localnumbers.html
They charge an up front fee of 10 to 30 dollars. If I am correct, there
should be a software based system exactly like this but no activation fees.
Anyone knows?
Any feedback on zipglobal is good as well, because if I can not find any, I
will use them.
