Gphone

Gphone is a handy and easy to use piece of software designed to provide you with the ability of performing Voice Over IP calls, enabling you to chat with friends from all over the world, over the Internet, from in front of your computer.

The application promises to offer a very reduced voice delay for your VoIP calls, which is generally a weak spot for such software; with the help of Gphone, you can carry out conversations almost in real time.

The main window of the program features a simple and easy to understand appearance, displaying in an upper panel both your nickname (which can be modified from the ‘Option’ section) and that of your conversation partner (or the corresponding IP address), along with the call duration and the signal.

The first button on the lower edge of the screen allows you to make calls, prompting you to input the recipient’s number in a small dialog, then starting to ring them up. The same button is used in order to answer incoming calls. Right next to it, you can find the disconnect button, which cancels any ongoing conversation.

Moreover, Gphone features a button letting you mute your microphone, turning it on or off at will. The chat button enables you to also text the person you are talking to over VoIP, while the file transfer tool lets you send documents to your conversation partner.

Gphone supports the manual setup of TCP and UDP listening ports from the ‘Option’ window, also choosing the preferred network connection, between Dialup, ISDN and LAN / FTTH / DSL. From the ‘Log’ section, you can activate the recording of all Gphone activities, saving them to a preferred location on your system, so you can review them later.
