Alcatel and Skype
Posted: 08 Sep 2006 17:21
Hi all,
I though I would share this with you all, geek people !
Skype ( http://www.skype.com ) is a GREAT VoIP solution for PC to PC between 2 person anywhere in the world. Lately, they made a LOT of improvment regarding the VoIP, (no more echo !). Skype also allows you to dial from your PC to a regular phone line at minimal costs. Right now, you can dial from a PC in the USA to a phone line (or cell phone) in the USA for FREE until the end of the year.
Phone Connector ( http://www.phoneconnector.com ) has a small module that allows you to connect your PC to your regular phone, in order to use it as a headset. So I did order one, and plugged it into my PC. I then created an ANALOG trunk on my OXE, and plugged this module into it. I created a Professional Trunk Group Seizure prefixe.. And now here is the magic.. I can pickup my IP Touch phone (4068), dial 7 to get to my skype, and dial a number in the USA. If I had paid for the service, I could dial anywhere in the world for very very very low cost (You can check the rates at http://www.skype.com/products/skypeout/ ... rates.html ).
Also, if I just want to call a PC, I had to create a TRUNK SUPERVISION key. I pickup the trunk using this key, and double click on my PC on the person I want to talk to.. And here is the magic again ! Using this last solution allows you to make FREE calls ANYWHERE in the world !
This was a fun test to make.
Enjoy !
