- oneplane 10y agoYou don't have a real phone anymore? Because that's what I'm using...
- mrweasel 10y agoWhen consultants, partners, sales people, anyone really, send me a invitation to a Skype call, or a Google Hangout thingy, I always ask that they call me on my office phone. If that's not okay, then we'll just have to make due with email. I'm not going to look for my headset, figure out how to use the right inputs and output, or sign up for a Google account because someone wants to call me. I have function telephone with a good wireless headset that just works.
- markcerqueira 10y agoHave you ever gotten a negative response to your "landline or bust" philosophy? It just seems a bit inflexible to me.
- TallGuyShort 10y agoI do the same, but international phone calls are still rather impractical compared to Hangout / Skype-like tool of choice. And this is coming from a Linux user who doesn't get supported by many such tools :) At least most tools have a way to dial into them from a standard phone.
- Philipp__ 10y agoI use it the most, but that is not comparable. I am just saying that, because I had X situations where somebody told me "Add me on skype", and then i say look, no.
- ckozlowski 10y agoTake a look at Wire. (http://wire.com http://wire.com) Good Skype alternative, and E2E encryption. I've been enjoying it quite a bit.
- Karunamon 10y agoClosed source, so E2E has to be taken on faith. Strictly better than Skype in some ways, but privacy can't be taken to be one of them.
- FuNe 10y agoAccording to the table here https://wire.com/privacy/ https://wire.com/privacy/ it's open source
- Philipp__ 10y agoGood app. But none of my friends are using it.
