3) You keep talking about SIP based VOIP and making free calls via SIP. How do i actually make free calls with SIP?

Answer: SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a protocol used for VOIP and followed by many leading VOIP providers. SIP being a protocol brings various providers together on single platform and allow interoperability.

The best part of using SIP is, everyone on SIP network has unique SIP URI which can be called via any other sip provider. This brings everyone together irrespective of the VOIP provider they are using. We written some good (people say great :-) guides for SIP.
