Also wanted to add that I've used MagicJack with great success. Bought one for my home in Singapore, so have a local US number, and it's only $20/yr. And since magicjack requires the computer to be on all the time, I mainly use it to call out from Singapore back to the US. Calls are free to anywhere in the US and Canada.
I also bought a magicjack for my home in Los Angeles, and topped up $10 for their long distance, which is only 2 cents/minute to Singapore. Great deal for your close relatives back in the US to reach your local Singapore number.
Also found another promising devise, but have not fully looked into it. It is called Ooma (ooma.com), and if you buy the devise, you get a local US number and no more phone bills ever! You can even port your current US number over, and the computer does not need to be left on either.
If anyone has experience with Ooma, please give us your impressions.
Can someone clarify if a US phone system will work in Singapore with a Singapore phone number?
I bought a cordless Dect 6.0 phone system from Costco, that comes with 6 cordless sets. Only one needs to be plugged into a phone jack. They all have power supplies. Question is, will the power supply work in Singapore if I just get an adapter so it fits. One says "class 2 power supply...input AC 117V 60Hz 6W. output AC 6V 300mA" The other is a switching power suppy that says "input 100-120V-60Hz 200mA, output 6.0V=400mA". Still very unclear about that. I bought it to use with a local Singapore phone number.
Thanks for your help!
