During our testing the selection of clips was limited to The Terminator, but our callers laughed when we had Arnold say "I'll be back" as our send-off. When we succeeded in calling a VoxOx contact and a mobile phone, quality was clear, yet some of the calls had a slight delay.Ĭlick to enlargeWant to spice up your calls?

Voxox 2.0.5 beta software#
We struggled at first to make calls a software glitch caused the service to think we were already on a call. All new members get 2 hours of free talk time for calling landline or cell phones, and they can purchase Vox points thereafter (1 Vox point is equal to about a minute of a long-distance domestic call). Like Skype, VoxOx provides a VoIP service with which users can make calls to other VoxOx users or to any mobile or landline phone. But the most useful (and humorous) feature is the acronyms button, which brings up a list of over 200 online shorthand (or NetLingo) terms-everything from the common LOL (laughing out loud) to the rarer LSHMBH (laugh so hard my belly hurts). Perks include the ability to change the font and transparency of the entire window.
Those who prefer to scatter conversations around the desktop may not appreciate the inability to pop out chat windows. Chatting with buddies takes place in another window and, like flipping through tabs in a Web browser, you can toggle among conversations. Through the Setup Wizard we were prompted to add our instant messaging usernames and passwords we entered our AIM, Google Talk, and Yahoo information and were immediately logged into each of the respective services. Currently, VoxOx supports AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, Windows Live, and Yahoo instant messaging services. The heart of the application, the contact list, lies in the second tab.
