With my SIP VOIP provider, it's $1 per month for a local telephone number (with $10 setup fee), and it can also provide international numbers at a reasonable monthly fee. It uses the G711 codec, so the final quality is good enough for a radio show. Since it obviously work for people with SIP phones, maybe better codecs can be used. So I also believe that VOIP is a viable option for a pro situation, and I would prefer to use the Linphone software because of its command line client (which useful for automation and integration), and there's probably other free options. - Marc > On 06/23/2014 10:14 AM, Louigi Verona wrote: > > "Although SIP client it's still a viable > > solution even for a pro situation." > > > > Mmmm.
