ICQ Phone..Anybody else using it?

[rah]

Yes, last night was a good test to see if multiple calls would cause problems during the game. Not one drop out during the whole game. That is a rare event without using ICQ phone.

And yes, those FREE 6 hour phone calls to Canada are great.

All right, another one just joined the club. Bird.
All we need now is getting Berz up and running.

Too bad we can't get it to work like a party line.

So it only works one-on-one? You can't do a conference call?

no, if you try to call someone else, it disconnects your current call.
but it may be worth reading up on it. That would really make a MP game even better.

I wonder how long this will remain free, the calls yesterday would have costs $100's just for those playing.

i was talking to rah about last nite game. 5 people in game, 4 were on icq phone and we had no drops or disruptions in game. icq phone was stable. so was the game for a change. maybe a fluke but i have a good feeling about this. no bandwidth problems were experienced

I can't see how it could ever be charged, Hydey. Unless a phone company takes over ownership of the ICQ system.

Hmmm, I have a spare microphone here...hiss...crackle...pop....I should really try this out some time. Too bad you can't do a conference call with this system. It would be perfect.

yes the icq phone would be great for allies in a 2x2 arena match

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

My wife added some extra memory to my machine yesterday. When I went to use ICQ phone for a duel with War4ever, it's back to the way it was. I can't hear. I did try to go through the setup wizard, but had no luck.

dabarono, if you are free one evening this week, if you could give me a hand again...
