Yeap that right, free voip to anyone in the world...all U need is the software from the link below...and someone to talk to. They also need the software. You can call fixed and mobiles but that costs money.
http://www.skype.com/ I have tried it out and it works really well. No spyware, adware, etc I first heard about this off Performance Forums and thought I would share... Telstra can go and stick it for not moving quickly enuf on this sort of stuff |

Skype is the poor mans SIP (Session Innitiation Protocol) for Voice Over IP...
Check out http://pulver.com/fwd/index.html Pulver Net lets you call ACTUALL PSTN numbers in New York, and a couple of other US Cities, as well as 1300 numbers in America and UK If you are REALLY serious about VoIP, then get yourself a Sipura 2000.... Plug in your normal PSTN phone, and call other VoIP numbers for free... Finally, if you want to go HARDCORE... Get Asterisk with a couple of FXO cards.... Have your own PBX/Call center at home for peanuts !!!! I was one of the first users of Skype, and trust me, once you go to TRUE hardware phones, the voice quality is unrivalled, the phone is available 24/7/365, and you dont need your computer turned on for it to work !!! |

I tried pulver and it just uses skype and has less features....so I promptly removed it.
Oh and in terms of bandwidth, it cant be that much as it can run off a 33.6k connection so i'll let U do the math on that one. |

My mums boss wanted me to suss that out for him on his laptop for talking to people in Brazil, because it can be quite expensive I think. But I can't be stuffed since I wouldnt get no $$$ for it.
