I got a webcam with a microphone in, put it well away from the speakers (or put on headphones) and Skype worked just fine. Then skype got bought (by wallmart me thinks) and it seemed to go downhill within days, almost impossible to communicate due to delays and dropped packets. Haven't tried it since

Personally i think specialist companies such as Vonage are the better option. I've got rid of my landline to go totally digital
No doubt, sometime in the future, i'll do the same with TV. |

Another neat thing with Skype is being able to do conference calls with mixed PC-PC connections and Skype-out at the same time. Do this with my 2 sisters and parents sometimes.

.For anyone that's interested, I've now gone the full Skype route as regards my business telephony. Okay it's only me, but I now have my old numbers redirected straight to my PC via my London number (which I rent from Skype) so it's my PC that rings and not a telephone  , excellent voicemail, and cheap calls to landlines and mobiles. I also have several clients on Skype so their calls are completely free. Good stuff.Vonage might be slightly better, but isn't as portable as Skype, as technically I could have a laptop, be at a pavement café sipping a latte, while using a wi-fi connection to browse the web, send emails, and then my USB Skype phone rings with a call from a client's landline. See, technology is now starting to get exciting. VoIP is ultimately the way to go, just a question of finding the right provider/solution to suit your own particular needs. . |
