I am writing some suggestions, which do not need computers and use very less power.  1. Google voice-phone (good price ~$40, comparable to Vonage except some reduced functions whic you would never use, e.g. 911 and calling Europe, Australia etc. Canada and US numbers are free, a google voice service)  2. ooma hub (good price ~$120, not sure if it works in Nepal. No monthly fees required, if you buy an older model)  3. Skype phone (good price ~$50-70) I have been using the third one for over 3 years, but I would go with #1, if I had to get one today.

Nettalk duo is an alternate to magic jack. You can use it without computer. I am not sure about the voice quality.

 Thanks guys for the quick response. Does the google voice phone works from Nepal? These days for some reason you cannot make call using the gmail account from Nepal. I'm wondering if its gonna work too. And how easy is to set up the skype phone and whats the call rate? And has anyone tried the Nettalk duo. Thanks
