Anna, as no doubt you've already been told, try Gizmo. (I won't link here because I'm lazy).

Skype alternative, provided by the folks that started the whole SIPgate revolution. So they should be more efficent, and latency issues mentionned above should be at least reduced.

Popular != good solution.

yeh thanks for that Baph it was passed onto me that you'd mentioned Gizmo I will give it a whirl and see... just dont really want to spend a fortune on telephone calls etc whilst I'm not at home and was just looking into the other options available...

BTW is it true that Starbucks now charge you for use of their WiFi.. I always thought it was free???

Gizmo do the same sort of charging as Skype do (Gizmo-Gizmo is free etc etc). Or at least, they used to.

Starbucks is a little funny really. Get a card (if you don't have one already), register it, and use it at least once a month, and you'll get free WiFi.

T-Mobile customers apparently get free internet access from Starbucks too. But there's also a rather naughty way to accomplish the same thing - something that I shouldn't divulge on the .Org most likely (or a mod will hit me with a stick )... I'll ensure that's passed along to you as well, via the same source.
