I have just re-visited »www.freeworlddialup.com/. While FWD is not as old as Internet Phone by VocalTec, it is as old as Microsoft NetMeeting. As they have pulver.Communicator now that like Skype and other instant messenger clients should be easy to setup and use. Most importantly, it is using SIP which is the most common protocol for VoIP so it is compatible with most other related software, hardware and service. Consequently, in the long run, the quality of service should be better, and the price should be lower if not free as users are free to switch between any SIP compatible services, software and/or hardware. Nevertheless, it may not be as user friendly as Skype or AOL for a while.

You can. Not natively, since it's not even SIP, but you can still feed the analog voicestream into asterisk, the way you would a POTS line.

It was crystal clear, almost CD quality sound and cost me in this case $1.00 (.025 x 45min. for the cell), as one of the particpants was on his cell. I was also able to share files in real time, and engage a chat session with all parties while talking. If this isn't free internet telephony then what is?

What if you had a device that could forward your Skype calls out to your local PSTN? eg and ring your mobile when you are out.
Skype already rings my voip line when there is an incoming skype call. And of course I can make a skype call from my handset, not just the PC, although the latter is really nice when travelling. And I can also access skype or voip from my cell to avoid cellular long distance charges. The hardware is available, just not everyone is aware of it, although with 1.2 million users skype usage is already surpassing vongage + lingo + broadvox + at&t + p8 + VP combined.

Perhaps one of the incumbent commercial voip operators should talk to skype to see if routing skype calls through their pstn gateways, rather than 'skype out' is attractive. That might make skype a bit more mainstream. It wouldn't take much to leverage skype out in front of the other offerings. It'll be interesting to see if it happens.

Here is the problem with Skype and SIP to some point:

Who among you are trying, dragging, pulling their friends and family to, first of all, get broadband? Then, are they the same family and friends fighting you tooth and nail in getting any form of voip or skype? They question you -why do i have to get this or that box? its pretty expensive. or Skype what?

You can explain FREE only so much until free is not so free - "how much does it cost?" again comes up.

Its nice to see over a million people using skype. but I can bet you that those 1 million people are the same ones that are "up" on anything that is new. Lets see how many people in this world have a computer AND have broadband? I have found that in my circle of friends and family and the next ring of their family and friends, they are not interested until the technology is easy and is available at costco, walmart, target and the like. And then its like they found "manna from heaven". :)

So, for me, voip is the way to go. saves me money as i talk to the bone-heads of my world! :D:D

What if you had a GSM/Wifi cell phone with embedded skype client so you could make/receive your skype calls from hotspot while traveling in airports, etc?

What if you had a cordless/skype combo phone so you could roam around the house with your cordless handset and see your skype contacts status on the handset and make and receive your skype and pstn calls from the one cordless handset.

Would any of the above products (all coming soon eg a Vtech USB 7100 in your local Walmart Store $150 with two handsets)change the value propositition for Skype verse Sip softphone?

The point is Skype is doing one thing for sure better than all the SIP softphone companies. They have a free open API for third party hardware developers. Personally I believe all thing equal (voice quality, bandwidth, etc) this alone (open API) may very well drive Skype way ahead of the rest very soon. The Taiwan hardware developers are working overtime developing devices for Skype so you will no longer be tied to your computer to use it. I am afraid the SIP softphone guys have already missed the boat. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Skype-is-nothing-but-hype-12578496 Fri, 04 Feb 2005 08:49:35 EDT Re: Skype is nothing but hype... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Skype-is-nothing-but-hype-12567430
Due to the arrival of free calling with VoIP services in the U.S. the use of Skype here is not such a very big bargain anymore. You can't compete with free calling after all.

International is another story. The VoIP still charge something for international although some countries are very cheap. Still that's not free.

Unfortunately in some countries like South-Africa the dialup/internet rates are so high, that telephony programs are useless because it costs so much for just a local phone call to the ISP.

To open up the world there must be some sort of cheap satellite hookup that anyone can deploy from inside their home :-).

Well I have seen people talk about some "free" VOIP services online and this is one I have heard a lot about. So I download it and try to make a call. Apparently it is free only to other Skype users but you have to buy credits to call anyone who does not use Skype.
It blatently says it is free internet telephony...well free to other users of thier product I guess....any other so called "free" VOIP services I should try. The first one I went with was what I thought...too good to be true.
Here is a perfect example of "you cannot please everyone!." Skype is free. Software is free and so are the calls using Skype. When was the last time anyone pumped out such a great program at the price they provide it? (WHICH IS FREE) I seriously think that people like Simmer911 should refrain from posting messages at the expense of sounding like and idiot. Skype functions like a communication suite with file transfer, instant messaging and voice communication capabilities. While doing all this, it uses a really strong encryption too. Works from behind firewall with no problems. If you think that is a small feat, please be quiet. Yeah they may charge some money for added functionality.

Sure we have heard of FWD. I don't propose it as a solution anymore because it is down too often. And at least for non-technical people, Skype seems to be easier to set up.

FWD and Skype compatible? I don't think so, unless you are reporting breaking news. Skype is not SIP-compatible.

YMMV.

I live in the US, and have been wanting to call a friend in Pakistan for years (last time I met him in person was in 1997).

Over the years, we both had dialup, and tried everything - including Yahoo IM and MSN Messenger. Sound quality was just not good enough. So we never got anywhere

Then recently, I realized that I had broadband and that we never tried it after I got high speed Internet. So I suggested we try again. He's still on dialup.

Yahoo IM sucked. As did MSN Messenger.

We almost gave up, as Skype is something like a 10MB download (big for dialup). But he downloaded it anyway, and we tried the next day.

We spoke for 4 hours and 20 minutes (actually, four hours and 45 minutes with breaks). It dropped once or twice, but we just reconnected anyway. Sound quality was superb. Lag, if any, was not noticed. Absolutely NO dropped packets. I heard EVERYTHING he said and likewise. The only complaint was with his mic - it picked up too much background noise.

Not to say it was as good as phone quality. Voice was sort of dull.

The next day and the day after we did about 2 hours each.

Again, YMMV. A friend of mine (who also has broadband) calls someone else (also in Pakistan, also using dialup), and usually gets better quality with MSN.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Skype-is-nothing-but-hype-12553799 Tue, 01 Feb 2005 18:44:02 EDT Re: Wrong and misleading topic headings! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Wrong-and-misleading-topic-headings-12553721 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Wrong-and-misleading-topic-headings-12553721 Tue, 01 Feb 2005 18:36:10 EDT Re: Wrong and misleading topic headings! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Wrong-and-misleading-topic-headings-12553335
Yes, Skype is free when calling other Skype users....if you want to call someone on their regular telephone you will pay a fee, a very small fee.

Look...what I said in my original post was based on fact. You can only call other users of Skype for free and if you want to call people outside of Skype, then you have to pay for it. I merely offered my opinion on this service. I am sure if you have a lot of friends that use Skype, then it is great to use. But for the average newbie to VOIP it is not something I would reccommend. Most people do not want only a PC to PC solution and would rather use thier traditional phones in thier house as well as being able to use thier home wiring as well to set up thier phone service. Bottom line--for the average new user wanting to look into getting VOIP service; I would not reccommend Skype.
Well, I (and probably the developers of skype) would have to agree with what you just posted. Thank you.
Unfortunately, in choosing a Header 'You leaped before you looked'. Please do a little research next time. Skype is not advertised or intended as a voip replacement for Pots. It is called Skype not voip. It is designed for peer to peer communications over the internet. They also offer on a pay per minute basis termination to pots (skype out).
I feel that your header "Skype is nothing but hype..." is misleading and maybe slanderous, and if you had any integrity you would edit it. (At least it rhymed.)

personally, i myself like free world dialup. itc completely free. and although it still doesnt do "true" pc to phone calling, they do have partnerships with big voip companies such as vonage and packet8 so you can call packet8 and vonage users and they can call you all for free. you can also get a virtual phone number from libretel (although limited area codes available) so regular landline users can still call. you also get free toll free number calling.
