Quick question. If i have VOIP service (eg. Vonage etc) in the U.S., can i bring the service to HK and keep a US-based # for business purposes? Has anyone does this before? Since it's VOIP, the # / location should be fine anywhere there's internet acccess rigtht?

I did it with Vonage. Had a US phone number that rang in my home in Hong Kong. The adapter on my Vonage box was 110-220 so I just bought a new cord at Wan Chai computer mart (rather than mess with stupid adapters).

Worked pretty good, though for outgoing calls it was a bit trickier. Needed a few seconds to make the connection (i.e. the first few seconds of the call were choppy). Could have been (probably) i-cable's fault.

yeah you should be able to. my dad is in the uk but has a VOIP phone with a HK-registered number so i can call him from Hong Kong at local rate. clever.
