Hello All
I'm looking for VOIP Telephone Service in India, something exactly like Vonage do. They just issue a phone set, phone number and VOIP adapter and thats it.
I don't want a PC to be running like we have to using Skipe & Stanaphone. All I should require is a broadband connection at my home. I would just hook up my VOIP adapter to my broadband and the phone will work like any regular phone.
The catch is, if I buy a VOIP system here and hook the same adapter in India then I'll have a US working number in India. Now anyone from US can call this number just like a local number. Now, I want reverse of this. A Indian phone number working in US over VOIP so anyone in India can call me on that number.
If you know of any such system existing in India, please reply.
Any information is highly appreciatred.

From the research I have done, India does not appear to currently allow for local phone numbers that integrate with VoIP services. They do provide for International outgoing long distance calls to other world-wide landline destinations, but not local PSTN landline integration in India.
So, it doesn't appear possible, just yet, to get a telephone number in India that people there call via PSTN landline to connect to your VoIP line in USA, or elsewhere.
However, if specific people you know in India have a VoIP ATA telephone adapter, then you could talk direct VoIP-to-VoIP using ATA's like the Linksys SPA2102-NA connnected to a VoIP provider like CallCentric. No PC required to do this, just VoIP ATA adapters directly connected to a high-speed Internet modem.
However, to do this, you need to purchase your own Linksys SPA2102-NA adapters and configure them yourself with a BYOD (bring your own device) provider like CallCentric.
Actually, when making VoIP calls this way, VoiP-to-VoiP, it is conseidered as "In-Network" calling and is always free.
