And Now for Something Completely Different

These days I am working on an international project that is about to kick off very soon and will require lots of phone calls all over the world. While trying out some different cheap telephone solutions like Skype, Gizmo, Jajah and others I found that getting a local phone number for the Netherlands was not as easy as I expected it to be. After a long search I hit the website of the Budget Phone Company, a very random company with a terrible website but it does sell dutch phone numbers (with voice mail) for only 10€ a year.

When you get the number you can use it with different VOIP adapters and IP-phones. The site also refers to a software version of an IP-phone (Talkin2Ya Softphone) that is for PC-only . If you are running UNIX or mac OS you can download X-Lite and enter the login and server details you received with your new phone number.

I just got my new number and have not tested it thoroughly yet so I'll keep you posted on my experiences with my new virtual number in Amsterdam.
