Title: Voip software
Post by: colin on December 22, 2017, 06:35:01 AM

I can't help it but i honestly believe that the likes of Microsoft Windows and Google Hangout + other software are nothing but spyware! I recently downloaded and installed Skype but decided to uninstall the software when i was requested to type in my mobile telephone number which i refused. In my opinion Microsoft only wanted my mobile telephone number so that they could track every phone call and even my Internet activity. So i have been looking for other voip software and came across https://appear.in (https://appear.in) and https://talky.io (https://talky.io). Could i ask forum members if they have used appear.in and talky and what they thought of them please. Thanks all

I haven't, but I find it telling that the producers of the podcast "GoingLinux" dropped Skype in favor of Discord.

Thanks for the reply and info torreydale. Think i'll have a look at the podcast "Going Linux" and Discord.
