Speakerphone for Ubuntu 8.10?

[Abidel Bassie-Cripps]

Hello Evan

As for MagicJack, I will be calling them to ask the same questions, now that I can get a Canadian number. 
As for Voip, I've heard similar stories about Vonage and other local services. When I got my service with Igonet, they where the cheapest at the time. They have constantly been working well for us with only one draw back. Canadian only toll free numbers can not be reached as I'm tectnically calling back to Canada. But how cares, I can call long distance numbers in North America at no addition cost.

Regards!
Abidel

I've looked all over the website and have a few questions for those using (or investigating) Magicjack.

- How does Magicjack call numbers outside North America?

- What is the status regarding Canadian phone numbers? (Even Skype doesn't have that yet.)

- And... does it work with Linux? The website seems to indicate that it installs software when first plugged into a Windows system.

- What's the quality like? Not all VOIP is created equal. My experience with Vonage was horrible and I dumped it after discovering Skype.

Thanks for any help. This does look interesting if answers to the above questions are promising...

- Evan
