Linksys PAP2 or Sipura SPA-3000?

My phone bills are around £200 per month and I really need to find a way to cut them down so im looking at VOIP.

What I want to do is get a geographical number (UK and US) and have them routed to my IP phone and also make calls using VOIP without needing my PC to be on.

I found these 2 products.
The lniksys PAP2 will only cost me around £20

or Sipura SPA-3000 which is around £85

any comments would be appreciated

I use the Linksys with Vonage, it seems pretty robust, haven't needed to configure it though, as it was all done by vonage, so it was plug and go.

My parents had a couple of PAP2's fail, so I got them a Cisco ATA-186 instead. They've had no problems since.

I've got a PAP2 and its working fine.

Set up a sipgate account for free UK number, and create a ipkall account for free forwards to the sipgate number.. still leaves you a spare port on the PAP2 you can use for sipdiscount, voipstunt, etc.. If that doesnt cut your bill I dont know what will.. I've been calling the whole of Europe free for 4-5 months now, great stuff.
