Another free VoIP provider?

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

I just recieved news that there is again a new provider around: Internetcalls. Well, not an entirely new provider. VoIPStunt, VoIPBuster and Internetcalls are all a “service by Betamax” and use the same client, only with different color schemes and different countries to phone free to. I’m beginning to wonder if they are somewhat untrustworthy. I had paid VoIPBuster 1 Euro and recieved a free call-in number as well as a unlimited time to call free to certain countries. All was fine, except suddenly calls to Germany weren’t free anymore. And also suddenly, the minimum amount to pay to subscribe was raised to 10 Euro. It looks like the “free calls to Germany” thingy is just a teaser…

I’ll keep you informed if more of these clones pop up.

Run or Fun?

This Sunday I visited Karlsruhe to meet with k-thrin, lexx, michele and phil. I really enjoyed this day, but I have to find some time to write a short report about it. In the meantime, some photos.

Problems with alternative ICQ clients

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

Just a short heads-up for anyone who is reading this and not the newsgroup in Hagenberg or the IRC channel:

There is a serious bug in some of the older versions of Miranda and Trillian, which can cause problems recieving and sending messages. Please check the following links to the fixes: Miranda and Trillian (simply check for updates or reinstall).

All linux clients seem unaffected by this…
