QUESTION POSED ON: 21 September 2004
Can a video conferencing phone make a call to POTS using VoIP?

>
There are video phones that can make calls over POTS lines using the ITU-T H.324 standard.

Note that if a SIP phone supporting voice and video makes a call to a standard PSTN gateway, only audio will be supported.
