Build Your Own Chat-Cord

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

Mr. Blond writes "Here is a description of how to build your own chat-cord for only 7 euro. This is a solder free version of the hack shown in this earlier Slashdot article. Now you can use any plain old phone to make calls over the internet, using Skype MSN-audio or any other VoIP software. Even the software from chatcord works fine with it, to make and accept calls using the buttons of your phone."

    Why pay 7 euro to use a phone VOIP + your regular phone line....that is totaly crazy.

    Just switch to VOIP entirely and you actually pay less, unless you dont have access to it.

    But again, most phone companies give you rebates in the week after 18h00 for long distance calls , so you really need to to do your math before paying extra to get VOIP while still holding on your regular service.

    i get VOIP for 24.99 (cdn)a month with unlimited long distance calls in canada + voicemail.
