Yahoo Messenger Great except Argentina Cel Phones
I used Yahoo Messenger (with call out option) last May in Buenos Aires and it was great for calling back to the states, cellular or land lines.
It was also good for calling Argentina phones, but land lines only. I could not figure out how to dial Argentina Cel phones.
I chose it over Skype since I already had a Yahoo account.
Anyone figure out how to call Argentine cel phones on Skype?
Technical issues with bringing Vonage / Packet8 (8X8) VOIP phones into argentina
So I'd like to know a bit more of the technical information related to the feasibility of bringing these in. I see a lot of apartments (such as jackson) that have these.
If I have a vonage box, will it work if I plug it in directly from the ADSL modem? In the US most routers use the RJ45 cable but for some reason I remember seeing it run by USB or a different cable when I was in Argie.
Do you have to pay extra fees to run the vonage box from argentina instead of US?
Can you carry around the vonage box and use it at a locutorio?
And one last question: It seemed that in most buildings that wifi was not possible becuase of the DSL. The IP had to be registered with the company, as so that the connection wasn't shared with the whole building. Am I right on this? I"d like to bring my voip line with me instead of having to rely on Skype (which does work great as all you need to carry with you is a cheap headset. The locutorios have these anyway)
Thanks for the help and correct me where I"m wrong on how this works there.
