Using the Net2Phone action isn t free like talking to someone online is, but it s a steal compared to what most long distance companies charge for traditional long distance service. You may have noticed the video part of Video VoxPhone Gold. As you can probably imagine by that insightful name, yes, it does have a video conferencing feature built in. It s still fun to be able to see the person you re talking to and vice versa. Rounding out the package is an almost ICQ-like user list feature that alerts you when your friends are online so you can give them a call and waste the day away on the phone instead of doing any actual work.
Text chat is a big help for people with slow modems.
Obviously Video VoxPhone Gold is an Internet phone and therefore you would like to be able to talk instead of having to write out everything like in e-mail, but on occasion that s just not possible. Connections are just so bad that hearing and talking to the other person is next to impossible. Being able to write a quick message can be a lifesaver. You can jump right back to voice chat when conditions improve.
