I'm from Estonia and I also like to read this US forum. But I would not consider it appropriate to disturb Americans with my comments. At least not very often  |

Does that work if your computer is off, but your wireless router and cable modem is on?

To be honest with you, I don’t know the full details on how that gadget operates. I’m assuming, since it’s an IP phone as long as your router and your DSL/Cable modem is ON you can do the same as a regular phone.
Check this site they already exposed the guts-out of the WIP330.
I’ve seen one type of VoIP phone (service) no LCD just a keypad with a USB cable. All you need to do is plug-in to your USB port on your computer and dial the number on the pop-up screen.

But a USB device only works with the computer on. USB drivers only get loaded in normal bootup, that why it is important to have a PS/2 port mouse/keyboard as backup or as a regular mouse/keybpard.

Its just how the companies work here and how government regulations effect it. There are no regulations requiring services from different companies to be comparable and interchangable. So therefore companies here pretty much have leeway to offer any sort of network and any sort of phone, and the users are stuck with it. As such, users here have never thought about getting a phone from anywhere but their wireless provider because its just too much to think about whether it would work.

@ robbie335
When you say “crappy cheap phones”, can you translate that in Lehman’s term?
The devices that they sell here are not even comparable to Europe or Japan, in what way?
If you are referring to the camera or video that comes with the phone, who cares about the picture or the movie the quality is not even good! For the Internet-phone, the majority of DSL Home users here in the U.S. are complaining with the speed what’s more with the Internet-phone! Why bother using text or email on the phone while you can call the person, and who wants to press the phone-keypad hundred times just to send a short message, while your laptop (connected to wireless network) is just a finger tips away. My question to you is, “what is the advantage for American Cell phone provider to compete with those country you’ve mention while there’s no marketable future?”
UMTS coverage, you should do your Home Work before posting! As of January 2006, Cingular has deployed UMTS networks in Dallas, Detroit, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle, and work continues on turning up UMTS networks in other cities, such as Las Vegas and Washington, DC. Too bad it did not cover Los Angeles.
