Mr. Chok, "is that the Z- Connect VoIP phone does not require a
computer to operate. It only requires a broadband connection. All
calls made in the Z-Connect network* are free, around the world,
and when calling outside the network can be as low as .03 cents to
Asia from any location in the world." In the near future Z-Connect
