Imagine a phone that works anywhere on the globe while retaining its own phone number.  Imagine a phone that uses encryption, strong encryption, to secure your communications.  Imagine a phone that costs one American cent to operate throughout the United States and Canada, which competitive prices around the globe...  well I'd like to introduce you to the Grandstream HT802 paired with the VOIP.MS Internet phone service.  In addition to all this, is that you have the option of using an uncompressed codec for your calls, which means that it can be used to communicate with FAXes.  As a bonus you can program in your own Called ID name to be whatever fun name you feel like being known as.

The GrandStream HT802 is a two phone line to VOIP Internet phone appliance with the two phone line plugs being on the one side, and an Ethernet port on the other side.  This means that anywhere that has an active Ethernet port you can just run a wire from the GSHT802 to that Ethernet port and you've got a live phone that, on the surface, runs no differently than a standard phone line.  You pick one of the two lines up, dial in the number you want to call, it gets routed, and you're connected to the person who you've called.

The cost of this device, also known as an Analog Telephone Adaptor is $70 CAD or $55 USD, which can be purchased from Amazon or BestBuy.  A friend of mine named Flex introduced me to the world of VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocols,"

PHATstar has setup a port on Flex's https://2600.network where you can give it a call and connect to our Teleporter service, which functoins as a redirect from the Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) to a BBS Gateway where you will be presented a menu of BBSes that you'd like to connect to, and you can direct your communication path from the Teleporter Gateway to any of the systems listed of the assortment of BBSes from the options.  For those of you who want to test this system out without using POTS to connect to you may access the system over the Internet using the following site:

telnet: teleporter.phatstar.org:7777
telephone: 778-716-PHAT (based out of a VOIP line homed in British Columbia

Just imagine being able to have the best of a landline and a cell phone.  You get a phone that is dirt cheap with global portability.

I hope that this steers you well, cheers!
