With the advent of the internet, programs were developed to facilitate the use of Broadband connection to save on expensive phone calls. Voice Over Internet Phone (VOIP) software were developed to do just that. Some voip programs even allow voice and video contact, messaging and other user friendly modes to make contact over the internet.

Below find download links to various excellent voip programs. Each with its own peculiar specifications and usage.

Download and Unzip and then install.

Pico

Pico is a very light weight- only 54kb!! In order to use it, you have to select “Pref” which opens the setting. Enter Pico IP address: 193.189.186.20) and own user name and password.

Download from the link below, unzip and then install.

Registrations of new users and password changing are now done automatically by Picophone. It is not necessary to register on the picoserver anymore. When you type a username and password in Picophone, a new account will be automatically created, if the chosen username is not already in use. Password can be changed by simply typing a different password in Picophone preferences after a successful logon.

I found best results with HQ gain and 10 db mic and 10 db out gain unchecked. Remember to “Tune” to get the best results.

CqPhone

CQPhone 1.0, is a VOIP programe that enables free worldwide communication using the Internet instead of regular telephone lines.

CQPhone is similar to the popular “Instant Messenger” programs, but it is unique in many ways. This program looks and sounds like a real telephone. You simply dial a number, wait for someone to answer, and begin talking.

You have the choice to simultaneously communicate by typing on your keyboard or starting your web cam for live video chat. Digital pictures and web sites may be shared during the call.

CQPhone is extremely simple to install and use. Picture sharing is especially popular, now that many families have purchased a digital camera. Some voice programs are like a child`s walky-talky; with poor tone, missed words and push-to-talk operation. CQPhone provides outstanding two-way voice clarity.

CQPhone optimized the voice engine to provide minimal lag time; even for people who use old computers and slow dial-up modems. Users are amazed when they discover the voice quality is much better than a traditional telephone.

Every computer that installs CQPhone receives a unique, private phone number. These phone numbers are never made public. You decide who to give your number to.

If you wish to meet new friends from around the world, you can open the Random Chat List and call someone who also has this same list open. Your CQPhone number will remain private when you meet people this way. The program runs on any computer that uses Microsoft Windows. An internet connection, speakers and microphone (or headset) are required.
