VoIP: Gmail Talk Beats Yahoo! Messenger

» Gallimaufry

I’d never done an internet telephone call before.

When Yahoo! Messenger added voice calls Alex said we could use it to talk while he’s away. So I bought a headset.

Today we finally got around to it.

Yahoo! VoIP was pretty choppy. Alex sounded like herself. From what she said I sounded like something out of David Seville’s Alvin and the Chipmunks.

We decided to give Google Talk’s VoIP a try.

Alex wasn’t choppy, I didn’t sound as if I’d been castrated.

My inexpensive Plantronics headset performed flawlessly, just plugged it in, no adjustment needed.

So if you are having quality problems with Yahoo! Messenger calls give Google Talk a try.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about VoIP: Gmail Talk Beats Yahoo! Messenger. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
