The advantage of having an ATA is that it can connect to your standard
house phones - no need to have a computer on AND, for an older person,
in particular, to have to dash to a computer, to answer a call, really
isn't the thing to do. Totally free calls can be had SIP to SIP. As
far as 1899 goes, well calls can be had at 2p/call on voip with 1899
it is 5p/call. So lots of advantages to buying an ATA.
