iiNet launches VoIP service

West Australian ISP iiNet has launched a nationwide voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service named iiNetphone, the company's managing director Michael Malone said today.

The product is only available to those who have a fixed-line service which is bundled with iiNet's broadband internet plans, the company's chief technical officer Greg Bader said.

A subscriber who has a DSL connection with iiNet would first have to take a fixed-line service from the provider in order to get the VoIP service.

Malone said iiNetphone would have no monthly rental fee and low call rates, with 10 cents being charged for both local untimed calls and calls to capital cities countrywide.

National calls outside capital cities would cost five cents per minute over fixed lines.

Bader said users would be provided a free second phone line and number using VoIP technology.

While the VoIP product is available from today, hardware sourced from Belkin, which is ADSL2-compatible, would be available only from mid-September, Bader said.

VoIP-enabled modems and routers and analog telephone adaptors will be supplied to help customers set up their VoIP service.
