Soon I may be leaving for the US for a work contract. Leaving Singapore will be sad! On the geeky side this means disconnecting the home phone number and suspending my mobile cell number (roaming charges are utterly ridiculous...). However we want to keep a local number in Singapore: enter Pfingo.
For 24sgd per year, or 1.40USD per month, the Pfingo Basic package gives you a local Singapore phone number connected through VoIP SIP. This means you can receive incoming calls to that number anywhere in the world. Deal!
I tested this with my LinkSys ATA 3102 and it works fine. Included for no extra charge are CallerID, and VoiceMail for when the ATA is down. Good job Pfingo!
The only Pfingo service missing is to forward the calls to another SIP account: the ATA only has one incoming SIP account. So this means juggling accounts, but luckily other VoIP SIP providers provide call forwarding.
