Does anybody else use this program? If so, is it any good and worth downloading?

Okay I finally got on to it, it has a clunky IE based interface and It does not support confrence calls. I have not tested the sound quality much but it seems fine. The one and only thing this has over Skype is free incoming calls with voicemail, which works with some local access numbers and the person who is trying to reach you enters your pin. Overall Skype has a way better service, but if you're looking for free incoming calls or maybe just a free voicemail then go for it.

There seem to be some networking issues to work around to get this softphone to authenticate.  Apparently it uses some port other than 80 - might be trouble if you are behind a firewall because I can't find any infoz about the port it does use.  Enjoy it while you can - I found this funny post in their forum.   :D

  I am getting multiple phone calls from what I think is one of your subscribers on my cell phone. The caller id lists 646 465-7602. Is there a way for me to find out who is calling me so I can report it to the police? The calls are excessive almost 1 every 2-3 minutes.


Thank you for your help

While it's running, open up a DOS window and type the word netstat - that should help you figure out the port.
