Sipgate with Sjphone or XMeeting
Already quite a while ago I got myself a sip account over at
sipgate. The interesting
part here is that they give you a “SkypeIn” number for free. But in the end I never really used it.
In general the call quality was always significant lower
compared to Skype. Especially for
long distance calls. Plus up until
XMeeting
arrived on the scene there was hardly any usable sip client
available for Mac OS X. There was X-lite with it’s alien
interface or Sjphone with
something which barely qualifies as GUI. (Well, at least it
worked OK) Not that the Skype interface is any good but Skype
just works out of the box! Configuring those sip phones on your
own can be a bitch. Or at least a waste of time fiddling around
with the settings. So if you are a sipgate user feel free to
have a look at my settings for
Sjphone
or
XMeeting. Ring Ring!
