No computer experience is required to use an e-phone.
Some phones offer a preselected menu of ISPs, which can make getting started even easier.
Ironically, it's harder to set up an Internet phone if you already have an e-mail account. Once you're past this tedious hurdle and enter this account information into the phone, you can check your e-mail from either your computer or phone. Phones with touchscreens have an icon for that on the opening screen. For other phones, you press one of the buttons lining the bottom or sides of the display, much as with an ATM machine. When the ISP picks up, the phone automatically transfers your account name and password.
