HELLO & WELCOME

[John Donovan]

I've heard all sorts of talk about all of the various programs used for VoIP purposes, but I'm really curious about one thing.

What program are you mostly using? What are you using it for and for how long have you been using that program?

[bluegreen]

I'm using TeamSpeak since 2011/2012 when I started online gaming (sometimes I use steam call, but if only one of the guys doesn't have TS installed). I use it because it eats very little RAM, it's user friendly and it's very simple :-D

I use Teamspeak or Skype dependent upon the situation and who I'm communicating with. Teamspeak is good for gaming and it is good for providing remote technical support as well. I initially only ever installed Skype because it was required for some job interviews. I also have some family in other states that use Skype to communicate.

Do you find that TeamSpeak eats less RAM than Skype? Do you think it is better than Skype in the quality department? How often do you get disconnected from the others in the call?

[kylerlittle]

Skype and Viber.

I don't really make use of any software based programmes these days. I use various hardware for my VoIP needs...

I make use of a Yealink T48G as my main office phone:

I also have an OBi1032 on my desk:

An OBi200 is what I use to provide me with a home landline.

Oh wait, I do have Zoiper and Acrobits installed on my iPhone but I don't really use them anymore. :laugh:

I really don't know how the servers are configured, but the phone sitting next to me the whole day is a Polycom. We do have another voip models where I work.

Well, it definitely seems that those softphones are cheap. Maybe I should make the jump one of these days. I'm also kinda bored nowadays, so I'm guessing that I could learn all about softphones.

Unfortunately I must be a one in a million because I've never used Skype so I can't provide opinion about that. What I can tell is that in my 3 or 4 years using Team Speak I've never had a problem with disconection other than my router shutting off. I guess that TS providers are really good on what they do and deserve all the cents you spend with TS :)

Wow, I don't think I've heard of anyone not using Skype nowadays! But then again, if TeamSpeak truly served you that well, I'm guessing that you have fair reasons not to use anything else. My experience with TeamSpeak wasn't THAT good, so I still use Skype.

[CrowdedHighways]

Skype is definitely my most-used program. It is just quick, efficient and does its job well. I have never had any problems with Skype, save for a few minor ones.

I think it's mainly because I didn't have a good internet service for several years until a couple years ago... But then I wasn't a teenager anymore and I spent a lot of time with my colege friends and didn't feel the necessity of using Skype or other kind of programs :P

[supersash]

I'm using Skype and I find it very useful especially for expats like me. I get to see my daughter everyday even if we are miles away, though we we get so many drop calls. Maybe because the internet signal way back home is not so fast / good. otherwise, Skype has been very helpful.

[gsmlnx]

Hardware solution of an Obi200 as I have no landline. Just an FTTP line :-)

[Tanawan]

I use Skype and has been very useful. You can see people that are far from you. My internet signal is good, so the call doesn't drop. I used vier but I did not use to this.
