Hello Siobhan! Welcome! Thanks for introducing yourself. :) I believe the tech specs for phoneblogger are here. http://www.wombatnation.com/phoneblogger/tech.html
I would love to hear how your experience goes using phoneblogger. Especially in the UK. Voice server stuff and telephone/web server gateways vary from country to country. Getting all the phone systems to work together smoothly seems to be quite a challenge. Having different audioblogging servers set up in different countries with different telcos seems key. *EVERYONE* Here are some definitions of a few words flying around. If you have questions please ask the list.
