SIPphone, a start-up based in San Diego, California, introduced a SIPadapter device that enables SIP calls over any phone, even a cordless unit common in many households. A SIPadapter comes with a unique phone number beginning with (747). It also includes an account on my.SIPphone.com, where a user can customize their phone, manage their numbers and view their call history. An online address book and popular features such as call-waiting, caller ID, and the logging of missed calls are all available as part of the free service. Users can hear their number echoed to them by dialing. Once installed, users can place calls to the worldwide SIPphone community now spanning 47 countries. In addition, toll free 800 and 8xx numbers can be accessed, even from SIPphones based outside the U.S. It is also possible to dial any telephone number using a common calling card while avoiding any monthly fees.
