Re: CallVantage Softphone Quality

I have two lines with CV, one via the D-Link TA and the other a softphone through my laptop. AT&T use a G.726 codec on the softphone which means it only needs 60kbps bandwidth including signaling. Despite this, it sounds great and works well.

I have used the client (a special version of Counterpath Eyebeam) with my Logitech USB headset as well as a Polycom C100 handsfree unit. There have been no issues.

I as well have softphone. It works great when I have a good connection. I have been running wirelessly from my neighbors connection because my inet is down right now. Even with a crummy wireless connection the calls are really good. I am getting 1 bar of signal, but my speedtests are still showing I am getting over 1MBPS down and around 300 KBPS up.

Its all based off your PC configuration and the network your running off of. I enjoy the softphone because its not a physical device that can burn out or go haywire.

I just ordered the softphone yesterday...works great. I had no problems with it at all. Quality seems fine to me. I would recommend it.

Might be better to post this in the Call Vantage forum.

Hi all,

I am interested in subscribing to the CallVantage softphone service. If anyone subscribes to this now (or did in the past) what was the voice quality like?

Thanks!
