Just back from a holiday in the US. Our friends there used their hp laptop for telephone calls through Skype. They also had a Netgear handset.
If I go VOIP, is Skype the way to go? I am in the UK.
I've read the Skype site, but I'm not sure what is really needed, or what the costs are.
Can I use the microphone and camera in my black MacBook?
If I use my MacMini, what headset would be best? Is a second camera essential?
Finally any advice on the best set-up? Where do you link to the landlines?
I would also like to use it as a "home phone" when away from home in hotels around Uk, Europe and (less often) the USA. Is this possible?
Any guidance or useful links gratefully received.
