[Other] Skype and GV/GTalk through IPPIIPPI has provided some free call services between SIP, Skype, and GV/GTalk. Has anyone tried these free services? According to its FAQs, setup is pretty simple and straightforward. I wonder how good/reliable such free services are. Anyone? Here is the FAQ: quote: Q. How to make calls to Skype ? A. To call from ippi to Skype, just dial : skype_id@skype.ippi.com. Don't forget to authorize third party calling in Skype or to add skype2ippi to your contact list.
Q. How to receive calls from Skype ? A. To call from Skype to ippi, you have to add skype2ippi to your contact list and call this contact. When you get a chat message, send as a chat message the ippi login you wish to call (or the ippi SIP numeric number staring with 889...).
Q. How to make calls to Google Talk/Voice ? A. To call from ippi to Google, dial : google_username@gtalk.ippi.com and start the call.
Q. How to receive calls from Google Talk/Voice ? A. To call from Google to ippi, add the contact gtalk2ippi@ippi.com in 'Search, add, invite' the column of 'Chat and Text' and click 'Invite to chat'. Once it appears in the contact list, click on it, click on the 'Phone icon', then 'Call from PC to PC'. You will receive instantly a chat message that prompts you to enter the ippi username or the virtual number/iNum to call, then start the call by pressing 'Enter'.

I tried skype calls thru ippi a while back (last year?), it was very unreliable. A lot of times the calls didn't go thru. |

I recall I mostly tested it for skype to ippi, but I believed I tried ippi to skype as well. I was trying to find a replace for rebtel after they discontinued support for skype, but it was nowhere near usable to me. |

Does OZTell provide a FREE SIP account to use with SIP2Skype and/or Skype2SIP? |
