Poll about how many people use VoIP as their main communication channel? or additional option? or want to have a try? or haven’t used it at all?

A useful feature of GTalk2VoIP is that it can be used to make VoIP calls behind firewalls, which block VoIP ports. And GTalk2VoIP itself is an excellent product to make VoIP calls to other IM networks (MSN, Yahoo! and so on) as well as normal landlines and cell phones via Google Talk.

By choosing correct wireless data plans, the mobile VoIP can be even cheaper. For example, subscribers of Tempo Music from Mobistar (Belgium) only have to pay 0.25 euro for each session (less than 1 hour or 1 MB traffic). If Fring or Talkonaut only uses less than 100KB traffic, it means users can talk to more than 10 minutes for 0.25 euro. And for users with “unlimited” data plan, the average price can be even cheaper.

Abbeyphone is VoIP service provided by Abbeynet, but Abbeyphone Firefox VoIP (SIP ) extension developed by AbbeyLab only enables users make calls with Abbeyphone service via Firefox, but also support any standard SIP account.

TringMe now allows making calls from Google Talk (Gtalk). As you know, natively, Gtalk doesn’t support making phone calls. This is yet another feature which underlines TringMe’s core philosophy of not requiring any software installation for purposes of using TringMe. If you already have Gtalk installed, then with this capability, making a worldwide call to any phone or SIP URI from Gtalk is as simple as sending a message using Gtalk. Calls made from Gtalk can be terminated on all devices that TringMe currently supports.
