UK ISP and network operator Entanet has partnered with hardware manufacturer Zoom Technologies to offer a new consumer VoIP solution. Zoom's latest device - the X6v Model 5695 - integrates an ADSL 2+ broadband modem, wireless ( Wi-Fi ) router with firewall security, four-port switch and a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone adapter, and will come bundled with the new VoIP Express service.

The VoIP-Express service includes:

• A UK telephone number with a choice of local area codes
• Free unlimited calling to other Entanet VoIP users
• No monthly rental charge
• Easy and secure online top-up of call credit via credit or debit card
• Voicemail with the option of delivery to your email address
• ‘Send and receive’ text messaging
• Call waiting and call divert
• Per-second billing, no connection charge, 1p minimum charge
• Competitive call rates to non-Entanet VoIP users

The Zoom X6v also has built-in Quality of Service (QoS) and supports bi-directional bridging of calls between PSTN and VoIP services. This enables the customer to connect the device to their PSTN telephone line, providing them with a backup phone service in the event of a power failure and a reliable emergency dialling service. The estimated retail price of the service and kit is £100 inc. VAT.
