Callserve has today issued us with a new press release announcing the launch of their latest low-cost Internet (Voice Over IP - VoIP) Telephone handset:
TURN YOUR PC INTO A TELEPHONE FOR LESS
Callserve Launches Low-Cost Internet Telephone Handset
Callserve, the leading global internet telephone company, has launched an entry-level internet telephone handset, available at www.callserve.com. Priced at £8.00 plus shipping, these handsets give any computer novice the ability to turn their PC into a telephone.
The low-priced internet telephone features include:
* Minimisation of echo and voice delay
* Option to use PC speakers and handset simultaneously
* One-year warranty
* Monitor cradle to eliminate desktop clutter
* Upgrade option to USB adaptor
Alan Kay, Callserve Hardware Manager, said, "This unit sounds like a regular telephone handset because it is. We priced this product to enable anyone to turn their computer into a telephone. Coupled with our free software which now works on both broadband and dial-up internet connections, consumers can save up to 85% on telephone calls to destinations anywhere in the world."
The low-cost internet telephone requires a soundcard with a speaker output. Users who wish to upgrade to a USB device for easier set-up can do so by purchasing a USB adaptor (also available at www.callserve.com).
Callserve's Internet Telephone software can be downloaded free from http://www.callserve.com. Call rates are as low as 3p per minute to most popular destinations, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. There are no set-up or monthly charges, and the service works with both broadband and dial-up internet connections.
