Skype or Google Talk?
Which is better?
Any significant differences in features or performance?
Or ease of use for the computationally challenged?

Neither. Skype is good if you have a fast feed and only want to talk
to other Skype users, otherwise
[url]www.voip.co.uk[/url]
or
[url]www.sipgate.de[/url] (which is in English)

You get an incoming telephone number and can receive calls with
Sipgate as soon as you register (no cost.) They will also supply
f.o.c. a dedicated version of the X-Lite softphone which works quite
well.

Er, no it's not.

[url]www.sipgate.co.uk[/url] /is/ though.

Why "spoof" your email address when it is available
in its correct format in the header information, which
is where email harvester programs gather data?

I may be missing something here but, please correct me if so:

Isn't Skype to skype across national borders or even local ISP providers
free as it is essentially a global system. I thought that most other VOIP
providers made a charge of some sort, if not in their own domain, then to
other ISP providers and to foreign countries.

That may be quite a big difference.


Regards, John.

You're quite correct, you're missing something here.
