Ok this is pretty cool stuff.

Basically you can call up your friends utilising your internet connection. "Ok, it's been done before" you may say, but this thing is 100% dedicated to phone calls and not some add-on (ICQ, MSN, etc)
I just finished having a little chit-chat with my old friend in Sweden Xerent, he's one of the official Day of Defeat mappers. Very cool indeed. Crystal clear voice just like a telephone.

I recommend you download this and spread the fun.

Edit: Oh, if you want to add me. My username is Infinitum and my 'real name' is Lord Sexington.

    what are the charges like? and how do you pay? (i'm assuming thru CC)
  • InfinitumInfinitum Anime Encyclopedia Join Date: 2002-08-08 Member: 1111Members, Constellation
    Pay?

    There is no paying.

    It's like Half-life's voice comm system, only dedicated.

    Hmm... maybe I should call someone.

    Call me! I'm bored...

    and I think it's just like a normal telephone... so no conference calls -_-

    Does it call their phone? Or... do they need this?

    It works like ICQ, so each person needs the program.

    So when I 'ring you up' I am essentially just using a microphone to talk to you.... I can also choose not to pick up the 'phone' my end. It uses your current internet connection and it is NOT a phone call. They just call it that.... you don't pay for the call.


    It's pretty cool, gonna get my friends in on it so we can use it instead of ICQ.

    Plus it's F-R-E-E.

    Been using this program for about 3 weeks, I call my friends in France (I moved to the US) for free, which is very nice.

    Back in the days of MPlayer, my friend used to call people on their phones with something online. Why get this if you can just get Roger Wilco?
  • GrimmGrimm Join Date: 2003-04-13 Member: 15448Members
    From what the others have said about it, this is probably better than Roger Wilco. Clear calls directly connecting to someone are two things RW doesn't do.
