[ubuntu-uk] Open Source VOIP

[Daniel Case]

Hi Michael,

Skype is what I use at the moment, but the quality of the call isn't
anywhere near as good as I'm getting using SIP. Also the fact Skype for
Linux doesn't work very well for me, and the fact I'm on a contract with O2
at the moment would probably make that a no go.

 ........use my contract minutes should read "have used all of my contract
minutes", sorry about that.

  As "3" are currently promoting Skype, it is free over a "3" phone with all
Skype account privileges, when I looked around , Skype seemed to be the best
deal for overseas and UK calls.  So on a low minutes contract with "3", I
can use Skype if I use my contract minutes. I do not know if the "Skype
support" is available to pay as you go phones. Hope this helps.

I assume they will be doing what most 'unlimited' providers do, and giving
the heavy users the unused minutes from the lighter users.

Pretty sure that's how unlimited plans work? Anything similar I can get?
It's going to become very costly on pay as you go....

go, while 1.20p is cheap...I go through 3000-5000 minutes to UK home phones
which was why I got the 'Skype unlimited' subscription for £5, do any SIP
providers do a similar thing?
