As you know, I'm stuck here in Afghanistan. I have been tasked with
finding a VOIP provider and phone to use.
Since I have no friends back home that want to talk to me, I haven't used
any of these services to any extent. I do have a free "Voxalot" account
to call an IP phone in my house to talk to the housesitter, but it's a
pain to use and maintain.
So my first questions is, can anyone tell me which is better Vontage or
Skype? (and why?)
I have a pretty good internet connection here finally (1mb down and 512
Up), but we need a REALLY good speaker phone for calls back the US.
Which company is better and which speakerphone works the best with them? I
know that "magic jack" lets you use any standard phone, but it has
advertising built into its paid service.
So if you can recommend a speakerphone as well, that is cool.
Price really isn't a big deal as I would image the phone and service
shouldn't be more than $500.
(BTW, I'm looking into getting a Polycom system as well, is there one of
those that works on VOIP?)
Thanks.

to take Dari language lessons!)
