    Well we are currently on a package with the homephone that costs 39.99 inc line rental give us free calls to anywhere in Ireland...For less than 1/2 the price i can get unlimited calls to uk and Irl(handy for me).First of all is blueface good?Call quaility,Down time(if any)?

    And can someone recommend a ATA adapter so i can use the home phone here at a good price cause all im finding is ones for €50 which isn't that great

    I've been with Blueface since December and haven't had any problems so far, call quality is good (louder and clearer than standard phones systems). I'm using the Linksys PAP2T ATA box, works fine.

    I've been using Blueface for just over 3 years now and never had a problem with them. Phone costs no longer really factor in any side of my expenses now as the IRL / UK plan is ideal for what I need.

    The phone you linked to looks like a skype compatible phone, so not going to be any use to on Blueface. If you're buying a voip phone, make sure it get one that is SIP compatible. Siemens do a nice phone, you can order it from Blueface. And since the handsets themselves are DECT, if you have other cordless phones in your house you can pair them up with the Siemens base station and they work as normal.

    As for an ATA, this one should do the trick for you and will have covered its costs in 12 months easily.

    ATA for VOIP available from marx computers (marxcomputers.ie).

    Not sure if you came across these guys, Freespeech have an offer on for any new customers taking out their unlimited packages at the moment. For €10 ex vat they will send you a wireless router you can connect any regualar phones up to. I ordered mine there the other day!
