Do you have to use an actual phone receiver for this, or can you use it like an instant messenger w/o the phone?

Me and a buddy of mine have used a similiar feature in XP using Messenger. You could do voice over the internet but it sounded weird. I just pick up the phone now because I have un-installed all of my instant messaging programs. For you international folks this is a good idea though....free long distance! For now....till the Goverment figures out how to tax it

Hey GREAT program! I used it tonight to talk to Svenn. Worked GREAT!!! Sure is cheaper than using Ma Bell!
I have TaraAnn, Grant, ZanyChef, and Svenn on my list of buddies. Is there anyone else out there that has tried this program? It is free and VERY easy to use. If this old fart can do it, anyone can ... Even Cootie!!! heehee ... (I luv you Pammy .... )

I don't see how this is different from any of a number of IM programs that also have full duplex voice such as Yahoo IM. MS NetMeeting also does full duplex voice as well as plenty of other cool tricks and there's no subscription required, and the software is free last I checked.
A few years ago when I travelled a lot for work I used dialpad.com which let you call any phone number in America from your computer for free. Now THAT was cool.
