Just an update since my first post.
Still using Skype, the the newer versions are even better on the sound quality. As others have noted, the quality of the call does degrade with the quality of the internet connection.
I mentioned Callserve in my first post as a solution to PC to Phone requirements. This has since ceased to function out of this hotel (like a lot of things
). iConnectHere successfully provides a similar service with the added advantage of the ability to use it as a 'calling card' from other phones, including public ones. This part of the service is not available in all countries, but works in the ones that I need, so I am yet to try the new Skype PC to Phone addition.
Has anyone had any success with the USB connected phones as opposed to the headset or speakers solution? They are claimed to improve voice quality even more.
Any input appreciated.
