[VoIP] Question about Asterisk & Wireless IP Phones

[Ian Jolly]

Hi Nathan

I've got a Linksys 330 http://www.provu.co.uk/linksys_WIP330.html  WiFi 
phone on +44 352 2121 on CNET .  I use it mainly at home but have found I 
can walk around the local town where there are plenty  of businesses/private 
houses with no security on their routers and hence I can make/receive calls 
on my WiFi phone !!

Most of the cheaper WiFi phones are designed for 'Skype only' - steer clear 
of those but there are plenty of SIP WiFi phones that could be set up on 
CNET.
