Hey Mate,
I own 5 Optus stores and I use Skype between our stores, very cheap and effective communication....still love the timeless mobile plans for calls on the run though!!

[SteveV]

Yeah Skype's the go, can't tell the difference theses days, plus you just click the numbers on a web page to call.

[DjPete]

skype softphones?

[SteveV]

No I just use a headset plugged into the the PC, image is ok as well if you got a webcam.

[humbussa]

you can even use it on a windows platform smartphone with any wifi connection.....even Maca's wifi i think!!!!

[SteveV]

What's the best WindowsMobile smartphone ? I'm about due.

Any chance of a PCIII bluetooth connection so I could dial up the settings for my lunch time ride, if I knew what the the damn settings were for ;-)

ha ha is that even possible.....be cool if it was.

[SteveV]

Yeah it's certainly possible, even via USB, I could write the code after a bit a research, but I have no idea what the settings do, just need someone to explain them.

Simmo uses PC3 i think but i know he has someone that tunes his bike, probably the best thing unless you had someway of uploading a whole program to the device then just choose which one to update into the PC3 before a ride.

Yeah that's always the problem with WindowsMobile smartphones. 3.2 inch 240 x 400 pixels, compared to the iPhone 3.5 inch 320 x 480 pixels, but at least it looks like they've given up on the keys.

Hey Mate,
I own 5 Optus stores and I use Skype between our stores, very cheap and effective communication....still love the timeless mobile plans for calls on the run though!!

In my house in Brissy I have a 4 line PBX.
1 line is the main Telstra line & the rest are connected to VIOP / SKYPE. (2 x voice & 1 x Fax)
I have it programmed so that the outgoing telstra line is only used if none of the VOIP lines are available.

I also have additional VOIP numbers in other states which, if called, the ph rings in the house. So customers will only ever be making a local call rather than STD.

My mob is with TPG. $60/mth (no contract) for totally unlimited calls to all oz land lines & Oz mobiles.

Sounds good Bryan.
I like that failsafe back to landline for outgoing call setup.
Is that just a dial plan in the settings??
