Skype or Vonage or ? - GoFuckYourself.com

I am traveling tons and want a way to call people in the us over the computer. Yeah, icq etc is cool but sucks when you need to do a wire transfer and you cannot call a 1-800 number with the phone you have. Basically running your life long distance is a bitch on cell phones with credits etc.

So anyone have experince and can point me in the right direction?

Well not that anyone is interested but so far skype rocks. it is like having your us based phone with you for out going calls. Now for incoming?

skype rocks, very reliable for me...

BUT i am going to checkout the Vonage phone, Thanks for the info

So far I am just shouting at my keyboard as I have no idea where the speaker is and everything is closed here. A little bit of an echo but so far very cool. Just a heads up but Skype is quite a bit cheaper on most over seas calls.

Solid Bob · 10-01-2006, 05:10 PM

Vonage has been good to me.

czarina · 10-01-2006, 05:11 PM

skype is ok. Vonage is ok for a home phone

tony286 · 10-01-2006, 05:19 PM

bl4h · 10-01-2006, 05:22 PM

VONAGE is to the voip biz as AOL is to the internet

slapass · 10-01-2006, 06:50 PM

ok with skype I am able to make calls anywhere in the world very easily. Much easier even then a regular phone. I can message. Very cool. I cannot recieve messages. Sucks. But I can make it so they respopnd to my cell. Ok sucky but works. This is a huge deal in countries where you buy these cheaps phones that require you to keep dropping cards into them for air time.

I was able to buy a line in the US that is ready to take calls. it already works. I set up the voicemail. Again real easy.

Next step is to add a local number here in Brazil. Just wondering how confusing is that going to be....?

I stick by my Packet8 hardware, and software.

If you're interested in trying them out, hit me up on ICQ. I can have them email you a link which will give you a free month, and if you stay on over three, I get like $5 towards Amazon. Woo.. big incentive.
