SIP Phone in Sarawak

The SIP phone works using the Internet broadband (Streamyx in Malaysia) through a Local Area Network (LAN) cable into a broadband router via an inbuild Ethernet Card.

Once connected, the SIP phone can dial direct to another SIP phone, or to Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) for calls such as Subscriber Trunk Dialling (STD), mobile or International Direct Dialling (IDD).However, SIP users need to subscribe to a broadband service and has to register themselves with the service provider gsn2u for a month subscription of RM12.50 to benefit from the cost saving using VoIP calls.

Calls from SIP to SIP phones are free of charge while calls from SIP phone to PSTN phones will be at special gsn2u IDD rates that are even below 10 sen for international calls.
