Are there any?
I'm trying to set up free (or as close to) voice comms for my father in London & my sister in Paris. I'd suggest a cheapo phone service but she's moved address and no longer has a landline. Mobiles are prohibitively expensive, but it’s what they’ve fallen back on.
I'm reluctant to go down the Skype route as they ripped off my dad the last time I helped set an up account , and also because the software seems so clunky and omnipresent in the OS.
I notice Google have a video/voicechat Gmail plugin but according to my sister it's unavailable to mac users.
So I’m after anything really that will do
Just occured to me as I'm writing this, what about TeamSpeak (a gaming voicecomms app)? S’pose you need a server - ages since I've used it, can barely remember what's involved....
