G3T describes a plug-in VoIP service for the UK
UK provider G3T said in 2006 that it was preparing ePhone, a VoIP service built around a handset connected directly to a broadband router.
A claim of simpler calling
G3T described its e2e network design as a direct phone-to-phone approach that avoided proxy servers and session border controllers. It said customers would dial normally rather than keep a computer running, use a browser or install a microphone and software.
The launch notice framed ease of setup as its main consumer advantage: plug the handset into the router and begin calling. The claimed network-cost and reliability benefits were the company’s own assertions, and the source gives no independent test or evidence that the service entered general use.
