I installed and tried it. I could hear the person I was talking to just fine, but any time I used long sentences it would get broken up and not go through.
Also, he could hear my computer's system sounds (like buddy sign-on in Trillian) even though I was using headphones. Bizarre....

is this walkie-talkie style, or does it do simultaneous talking?
also, is there an appreciable delay when talking/responding?

Real conversations, no delay whatsoever...

gamevoice
well, we've been using Microsoft Gamevoice to do the many-to-one VOIP thing for a while now. Works great, works through NAT, and all that stuff. Easy to set up and get running.
Plus, you can download the server, so you can have your very own server running anytime.

Wait a minute, how do you get vonage on your ipaq? I looked on Vonage's website and I didn't see any software to use.... |

I loaded this today and then had my sister in law in th UK load is as well.
We spoke for well over any hour without any problems at all.
It sounded like she was in the next room.
The clarity was exceptional! :lol:

I ordered the vonage softphone which is for use on a pc but the program they use is sjphone which also has a client for the ppc. I copied the settings from the desktop to my ppc and now I have vonage on my ipaq. This was the very reason I got the softphone service(why sit at my desk and make calls when I have a wireless pocketpc). I've had it about a month now and it's been working great. I switched from sjphone to x-phone pro because the sjphone trial expired and the program is $100. X-pro costs less and I can have multiple proxies so I have vonage as my main proxy and free world dialup as my second. This way I never miss a call. |

Well I was impressed, I have tried: MSN and Yahoo as well as some other smaller ones and was never able to get the voice to work from my wirless at home (thru a NAT'd router) to my laptop at work through a industrial strength firewall. It used to work before I upgraded the home pc to xp. However I set this up and it worked first try and the sound clarity was much better then any of the others. Now if they would just add video I would be able to get rid of some of my other IM software.

Yeah, except that Microsoft has abandoned the software, it has bugs, and there will never be an upgrade for it. :? I used to use Gamevoice too, but Skype is much better on every level...

What do you pay for Vonage service?
