VOIP softwares
 

Hi Guys,
as per the 3G is available in lebanon it's cool to use the VOIP softwares on you mobile phones as like Skype, fring... but wondering which one is the best that uses less traffic (Down up KB/s) that can be useful for voice calls.

what I would cre about is one that people are willing to actualy use. it seemed really difficult convincing people to open a skype account... not sure why

i have many friends on viber.
it's the most popular after skype i guess.
but skype is number 1.

I know maybe skype has the best quality but it spend 0.5 mb per second so using it on 3G connection it will be a little expensive, so I am asking for the less consumption if you know any?

I haven't looked into consumption yet, but try searching the internet for it. 0.5mb/s is too much even for wifi! I didn't know that before. Are you sure it consumes 0.5mb even for voice ONLY?

What about Viber?

no it doesn't, I monitored it, for voice it was like 64 kbps upload and 64 kbps download, total of 128...

both you and the one you want to call should have skype and be logged on... just like using the MSN messenger... and then you can call them
