I installed grooveip lite last night. I am in Canada but it assigned me a US number. Didn't work but directed me to change some settings then worked nicely at least to call my wife sitting beside me. So depends which phone I want to use ican use my own phone or the grooveip lite phone. Is free except has small banners at the bottom of the screen. Impressed

Not exactly sure how it works in Oz, but in the States and in Canada you'd NEVER get charged for an incoming call because it's from another country or a VOIP call (unless you accept it as a collect call, of course).

It will count as regular airtime (because in the States incoming calls get counted as airtime, but never as long distance).

I believe this to be 100%.

As JBT points out (probably while wearing a slight smirk on his face, LoL) it's pretty much exactly what I pay Skype $50 a year for.

Oz was fiddling with allowing telemarketers to charge you if you didn't hang up on a recorded ad quickly enough. Cannot sufficiently express how evil the telco industry is in Oz.

Groove just installed. Called the folks and they called with no issues. In fact emailed me a file with a voice mail also. Not bad for a free service. Lol at the suckers paying for Skype
