Hard Phones


Standalone Ethernet Hard Phones (voice only)
An Ethernet hard phone is a self contained IP telephone that looks just like a conventional phone but instead of a conventional phone jack, it has an Ethernet port through which it communicates directly with a VoIP server, VoIP gateway or another VoIP phone. Since a broadband hard phone communicates directly with a VoIP server, VoIP gateway or another VoIP phone it does not require any personal computer nor any software running on a personal computer to make or receive VoIP phone calls. It can be used independently, all that is required is an internet connection. While PC based software solutions are cheaper, a hard phone is the best solution for IP telephony.

  • PLANET: DECT Cordless SIP Phone
    • DCT-101 - DECT Phone with color LCD Display

Dialup Hard Phones

A dialup hard phone is a hard phone with a built-in modem instead of the Ethernet port. It will connect through the modem via a dialup internet service to a remote VoIP server and is therefore self contained. It does not require a personal computer nor any software to be run on a personal computer to make and receive VoIP phone calls. All that is required is a phone line and a dialup internet account. Dialup hard phones are popular in countries where there is very little broadband infrastructure yet.
Note, that DLink and DPH-70 and DUV-1000 are the same, you can check them. But there is no manual for it at DLink site, but I found it at the DeltaThree site:).

WLAN or WiFi Phones

A WLAN or WiFi phone is a hard phone with a built-in WiFi transceiver unit instead of an Ethernet port to connect to a WiFi base station and from there to a remote VoIP server. It does not require a personal computer nor any software to be run on a personal computer to make and receive VoIP phone calls. All that is required is access to a WiFi base station.

Soft Phones

Voice

A soft phone is an IP telephone in software. It can be installed on a personal computer and function as an IP phone. Soft phones require appropriate audio hardware to be present on the personal computer they run.

Soft phones are inferior to hard phones but cheaper to obtain, many are available as a free download.

Accessories

USB phone sets for use with softphones

USB phone sets are often called USB phones by their manufacturers and vendors, but they are really only remote control and audio units for use with soft phones running on a personal computer. The soft phone is communicating with the remote VoIP server and doing the voice encoding and decoding, while the USB phone set provides a user interface to and headphones/microphone set for the soft phone running on the personal computer. USB phone sets also require driver software which may not be available for all operating systems. Check with the manufacturer before you buy!

Skype Adapters and Remotes

Similar to so called USB phones, so called Skype phones and adapters are also remote controls for the Skype phone software running on a personal computer. The Skype phone software is communicating with the Skype network and doing the voice encoding and decoding, while the Skype phone set or adapter provides a user interface to and headphones/microphone set for the Skype phone software running on the personal computer. Skype phones and adapters always require the Skype application to run on your personal computer.
