Skype is gay anyway. Gtalk and Gvoice combined, are better in every way possible.

Microsoft & Google is the same like Democrats & Republicans.
It is NOT Ying & Yang but Rape & Sexual-Abuse.
It is Briney Spears & Christina Aguilera, Hutus & Tutsis, Catholic & Protestant, Eminem & P-Diddy, Lala & Tipsi, Work'yo'ass off & die, Being in THE MATRIX & Being IN the matrix, A & B, Heroin & Methadone (with 30% rat poison each).
The only thing that matters is: "it is your choice!"

Gvoice?

Is that the voice functionality from the GoogleTalk client, or something other?
As I see it, GoogleTalk is the best voice program for 1 to 1, but if you need to talk with more than 1 person I prefer Skype...

Edit:

Code: Select all

Google Voice is not available in your country.
Thanks for visiting Google Voice. We're not yet open for users outside the US, but are planning to expand our service to additional countries in the future. 
Bah...

But it's free, and you can have your google voice number ring any number of phones simultaneously so that no matter where you are, you get the phone call.

Instead of handing out 5 numbers to your friends, you give one.
