Thanks to the changes made to the Telecommunications Act, the long-awaited legalization of voice over IP is finally a reality for South Africans. This will allow South Africans to legally use their internet to make phone calls. (PRWEB) February 2, 2005 -- Phone I.T (cc) has launched its new VoIP service website at http://www.phonehome.co.za where users can register and obtain their own VoIP phone number. A VoIP phone number allows an IP phone or any other SIP compliant VoIP device to make and receive VoIP calls. Once users have a IP phone number, they can place calls to other IP phone numbers free of charge. Calls to international destinations start at R0.20 / minute. Phone I.T. also sells an IP-phone for R800.00, which is connected with an ethernet port to a network or adsl router. Users can make free calls to other VoIP phone numbers, and enjoy savings on overseas calls. The legalization of VoIP will bring down local and international phone calls for South African home and business users, who are tired of previously having very little choice due to the monopoly of the incumbent telco. Phone I.T has been in the telecommunications business for 5 years, and sees this as an exciting time for both customers and suppliers of telephone systems. Registration for a VoIP phone number is free of charge, and can be done online on the website.
