VoIP: The communication revolution [1st post]

Most people know what VOIP is (Voice Over IP), and the profound effects it will eventually have over the way we communicate. A world where voice communications are no longer controlled by the large evil communication companies. A world where you no longer have interstate and international calls to worry about, it's all the same
So anyway, in order for the boom to takes place, it needs to begin somewhere. People need to start using it. So I put it to you to install a VoIP app, then get your friends to install a VoIP app, then get your family to install a VoIP app, then get them to get thier frends to installa VoIP app. As interest increase, as will the technology.
You get the idea. It needs to begin somewhere.
Anyway, I'm downloading Skype at the moment, and will install it shortly. If people have a better app to use, by all means, post it. We want to find the best app available to use.
http://www.skype.com
I'll compile a list of all the skype numbers people post
Remember, tell your friends/family!
Tell them about head set/usb phone options!
Let's get the ball rolling

I have "real" VoIP as well. Much better audio quality than normal telephone.
The real killer ap is the ease of use in the actual communication device itself - nobody I know is going to hold a tiny microphone up to their mouth to speak like I do.
We need to figure out the best kind of mic to go along with this.
Also, Skype is wonderful.
Also, does skype have multiple user "rooms" where multiple-person conversations can take place? That would be awesome.
Also, I'm looking at USB phones. It looks as though I can get one for around AU$40, which I'm willing to fork out.
There should be other cheaper headset options available too
I'll research
people need to start using this
yip
min requirements 33.6k
It's setup to be like a telephone service
mac?
can use use the linux version in OSX 10?
It uses the same plug as my cellphone, so I'm thinking not without an aapter of some sort.

name is RedMachineD
I think I'll pick up a USB headset so I don't need to hold the mic
But I was talking to exo, and was very clear, even over the stupidly long distance between us. Lag wasn't a problem either
Also... 500 minutes of talk time to any phone in the US for $12 on the site. Not too shabby.
wimmins? James is confuzzled
Damn thing has a min-char limit, so I couldn't reg as "ihd", instead, I'm regged as "ihdvoip". Someone prank me already!
You might want to turn on Authorize user so you don't get pranks
Once you have enough contacts you can make it so you only accept calls from contacts
For great justice.
Someone answer this question.. otherwise, I got no mic
I think you can. Try it.
