Re: [orca-list] skype

What about MagicJack. I think they're dangling sip under our noses, but we can't get the credentials and server to use out of the USB stick. That must be part of the magic inside that USB thing as there's probably many USB analog phone adapters with flash memory, that part is nothing special. What I don't understand is how they route the calls so cheap, even more so than Skype at $19.99 for a whole year, plus whatever it is for the device these days that comes with a year just by purchasing that alone. You couldn't route a phone call meant for a regular landline without making long distance calls unless they had servers in every city in the country where you'd call the server over voip and it would do the phone part as a local call, bypassing the rest.

That's not what I meant. I was wondering if there were SIP providers
that have a subscription rate comparable to Skype's. I'd like to get
away from Skype's closed infrastructure completely, but none of the SIP
providers I've found even compare pricewise. They're all on the pay as
you go idea, and that's not what I'm looking for. As much of a pain as
Skype is, it's the only one I've found so far that has subscriptions.
Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean I wanted to make Empathy work
with Skype.
For the curious, I did try and make the skype4pidgin plugin work with
Empathy via Telepathy-Haze. Unfortunately it doesn't work, the plugin
goes into a connect/disconnect loop once you authorize haze to connect
to Skype's API.

I imagine the Chan Skype thing for Asterisk will have the same
difficulties setting up as doing it with Pigeon. If one had to do that
on a remote system, that adds in having to get Orca to send audio
remotely as well as you can only do so much on those virtual server
things even though they're getting about as cheap as a good shared
hosting plan if one can put up with moving once or twice a year if some
of them turn out to not make it.

Actually, the Pidgin plugin just uses Skype to place the call and calls
are conducted in the normal Skype window once connected. Video depends
on whether your Skype program can see your camera, not on the plugin.
I'd love to switch completely to Empathy, unfortunately I've not found a
pC to phone SIP provider that has anywhere close to the low cost Skype
has. Google talk is all well and good for computer to computer, but a
lot of people use Skype more as a land phone replacement these days.

Also be informed that the plugin for pidgin and skipe is not going to
help with video.
It is just audio.
And as was discussed on this mailing list, the empathy client is pritty 
accessible and audio chat works very well with orca if you won't mind
going the google talk way.

Happy hacking.

If you look at the page http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Skype#details you
will find some information on making skype work with the pidgin
instant messaging client. Should you have problems with that then may
be report back what step you have problems with.
Unfortunately you cannot use skype directly with orca as the graphical 
user interface to skype is currently inaccessible. The solution with
pidgin works well once you have it set up (its not the easiest thing
to set up but possible with a bit of care).
