Free meal might come to an end

VoIP to divorce PC next year

Free webs calls will be divorced from the PC by early next year – a move that is essential if the technology is to go mainstream, according to US Robotics.

The problem with many Voice-over-IP systems at the moment is that free calls routed entirely on the Internet, without using dial-up or cellphone links, need a PC at either end to be switched on.

Jajah has just introduced a system in which only the caller needs to use a PC – you just enter your number and the number you are calling on a web page.
