It's a scam.

I got one in November and had problems with it, trying it on several computers. I exchanged it and got the same result. They would not allow me to return it and were very nasty at their "help" line.

Once they run out of new subscribers due to saturating the market, they will either have to change their pricing structure or go out of business.

I find it very interesting that it is impossible to get into direct touch with the company to state a complaint.

There are complaint sites on line about problems similar to and worse than mine.

I clicked on your link, Jacqui. It looks good, but who's the phone company? Who is providing the directory assistance, etc?

But... but... if you cure cell phone (mobile phone over here) by attaching a dongle to your computer, isn't it a bit heavy carrying your computer round with you?

And if you are running through a computer, wouldn't you be better off with Skype?

I just started my free trial. So far so good. It is a tiny device that attaches to a USB port on your computer. They assign you a phone number and it works like a regular phone. The sound quality is good. Best of all it is cheap. I took the one year package for $46. Now they are offering five years for about $55. You can take the device with you when you travel and attach it to another computer. I have not set it up for foreign calls yet - getting the basics down first.

Any have any experience with this? Guys at work have it and love it.
