Firefox VoIP Client

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the communication-dashboard dept.

libocannici writes "Abbeynet Labs has released the first version of a Firefox VoIP extension which is a full featured SIP user agent plugin for Firefox." The Firefox extension is completely stand-alone, with all VoIP functionality built directly into it. From one-click calling to SMS sending, this promises to be quite handy. All Internet calls are currently free, just requiring an abbyphone account, while PSTN calls have a small charge.

    Why does this have to be a Firefox extension? Why can't I just use Skype (or at least make it standalone)?

    I use Opera, damnit!

  3. Thanks, but no thanks. by Rob+T+Firefly · · Score: 3, Interesting

    With my normally running Skype and/or gaim, I've already got all that functionality. I love Firefox and all, but I really see no need to use my web browser as yet another 3rd-party non-free VOIP app.

  4. An alternate to this VOIP extension by dmbtech · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A great alternite to this extension is the openwengo firefox extension. Its a little buggy, but gets its job done and looks very nice. Its called openwengo, and you can get it from http://www.openwengo.org/ . Its open source, lightweight and also allows free phone line calls, which Abbeynet doesn't do.
