Gmail phone

[Ilija Milicevic]

I got VoIP set up through voip.ms (Canadian provider). Costs about 1c per
minute anywhere in North America. I use it on a regular basis and have used
it in Europe and South America (with Linphone).
We are probably just gonna port our pots number over to that service and not
bother with POTS when we move.
Just make sure you go through Canadian servers (as voip.ms also has some US
and [even worse] UK servers) unless you don't mind the DHS or the MI5
routinely snooping your calls. You can be pretty sure Google's US servers
get all of their traffic forwarded to the DHS.
