Hi all
I'm wondering about experiences in using Ekiga in Australia and what the
total costs of calls within Aus are please.
TIA

Hello, Roger.
I have Ekiga installed and setup, on Ubuntu 8.04, and have tested it
with a webcam, for making video calls, and, that is all okay, but I
don't know anyone else with Ekiga, for me to communicate with, to try it
for live calls.
I am with Optus, with ADSL quota of somewhere around 15GB per month. I
notice that your email address shows that you are with Bigpond.
Without knowing what your quota is, I have no idea as to whether you
have the capacity for video calls (which was the main reason for me
getting the webcam and Ekiga installed, for communicating with friends
and relatives overseas).
From what I understand, if you use Ekiga to communicate with another
person using Ekiga, across the Internet, using video calls, no charges
apply (unless one party to the call, incurs charges for exceeding the
bandwith quota). If I am wrong in that, perhaps someone from Ekiga,
could correct me.
