I'm looking for a phone solution.... where all calls are recieved on my computer. So far I've got the follwwing information:
Skypein/out - works with Linux but you have to pay for each call you make. You get a number so people can call you from regular phones
Aim Digits - works out cheaper than skype if you make a lot of calls. The regular phone number you get is free even if you dont pay for calling OUT credits. You get unlimted free calls to most well off countries for $9.99/month (Wont work on Linux though)
Yahoo - Costs $2.99 for the regular phone number + pay for each call depending hopw long it is. Doesn't work on Linux
For me personally, I prefer the Aim option ebcause you know exactly how much you are going to spend each month and don't need to worry about your credit running out.
Is Skype the only company I can buy a phone number off and get cheap calls that will work for Linux?
(I dont want to hear about any pc-phone only deals, I want my pc to have a regular phone number ads well as be able to make calls through one service)
