Sure, if you have a router and your ISP doesn't block it.

You can use an IP phone or an analog telephone adapter plugged into your
router with the computer turned off or on. If you want to call him for
free, you can both sign-up for a free service like Free World Dial Up (FWD).
Your friend will have to have his computer on if he uses a softphone, or
will have to have an IP phone or ATA and analog phone. If you want to call
him over the internet to his plain old telephone, you will have to establish
an account with a provider. The call will be much less expensive, but
probably not free

Yes, then the easiest thing is probably for you and your friend to sign up
for free numbers at FWD and configure your IP phones for that.

Hi Robert!

I'm actually using a VoiP system that allow me to talk without using my
computer. The only thing you need is an ATA device, an internet
connection (not lower than 256k) and an ordinary analog telephone.
The company that is offering this is
www.telextreme.com/181066/

You can check this and then to decide if it will work for you.
I can tell you that I'm so happy using it, I'm calling all around the
globe without worring about my phone bill, the connection is great and
I can use my ATA wherever I go!

Please check out this opportunity for complete details at:
www.telextreme.com/181066/
or E-mail me at supremev...@gmail.com with any questions.

Best Wishes,
Supreme Voip
