Suggestions please.
We are planning to donate a VOIP phone to a school in a village near Banepa but we doubt they will be able to handle a PC; it's the reason we are looking for one that connects directly to wired router.
We probably can afford, but don't want to pay Vonage or similar 'unlimited' services. Is there any prepaid type service better than Skype and that doesn't need PC?
Over 27 people originally from a walking distance from that school are currently abroad. Calling relatives has been a problem for marginally literate people. This donation will not only connect them with their sons and daughters abroad but also generate some funds for school by charging a low fee per call. A generous donor has already installed the Internet and 4 computers and a VOIP phone would probably be a great thing for those people to realize the benefit of the Internet. We don't want to add any hardware except a phone that connects directly to the router. A few hundred dollars is not a problem but adding a wireless router or any other hardware might cause problem in that village with a couple of people barely computer literate.
Thank you.
