 Posted: Sun Apr 03, 2005 4:41 am Post subject: My First VOIP telephone call. |
 |
|
Although I am a great advocate of SKYPE to make free calls PC to PC,
today I made my first VOIP PC to Landline telephone call. I used the UK
1899 service to Ireland because I get my calls for 0.05 pence per
minute. It worked very well in that I heard the person on
the landline through my speakers perfectly, (as I listen to music a lot
I have configured my system to only use the mike of my headset), however
they did not hear me very clearly and there was a lot of interference.
Where is going wrong, do I need to configure my PC to use the headset to
hear as well as talk, if so I lose my speakers, or can I set it up to
use both. Why was the reception at the other end so bad. Admittedly 1899
say they are in Beta but if I use someone else I won't get such a good
deal on the cost of the calls and then I might as well use the landline
to landline.
Any help and suggestions and help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I posted this twice by accident.
