We've been looking into VoiP.

I don't know why I feel like a reluctant virgin. I know I want it, but.....

I use http://www.packet8.net and I LOVE it $20.55 a month with un,limited US/Canada calling. Has all the bells and whistles you could ask for too. 3-way calling, call waiting, caller ID, voicemail, etc...

If you decide to do it let me know and maybe I can get a referral credit!! :agrin:

Honestly don't know as I haven't checked out skype yet. Got Packet 8 quite a while ago and have been happy as all hell with it.


Skype seems like it would be good to call and chat with people like you my dear and not pay a dime. :>)) Not sure if it has 3-way, call waiting, caller id, etc like Packet8 does.

At $.02 per minute for US/Canada calls and cheap as hell skype rates I think Skype is much better.. Also if you have another skype user a P2P connection over the net is FREE. If you are going to talk on your computer phone making more than 1,000 minutes in the US/Canda than the other program might be better for that, but really why would you with everyone having a cell phone nowadays...

Another thing if you were having problems making international calls, download the new version of skype, fixed ALL of my problems

i tried it for a while... when i used to have weekly meetings with our models. Was a nice little program, until my friend started calling, then hanging up. lol

then i missed having a cord to strangle him with.
