VOIP Caller Extreme

Nowadays, the Internet breaks communication barriers of any kind, making it possible to perform video and audio calls from one computer to another, regardless of the geographical location. Internet telephony is now a direct competitor for mobile phone networks, offering a cost-effective method to stay in touch with friends and acquaintances.

VOIP Caller Extreme is one of the applications that makes this thing possible. Relying on the Voice over IP technology, it is designed to help you make calls within the local network or DSL connection, only requiring a headset and a microphone.

The application is pretty intuitive, allowing both beginners and experienced users to configure it without having notable difficulties. In order to use it, you must enter the IP address of the computer you want to call and press the 'Chat' button. The user-friendly interface comprises options for starting or stopping the conversation, disabling the microphone ('mute' mode), answering or declining a call.

VOIP Caller Extreme comes with a built-in address book where you can store the name and the IP address of all your contacts, so that you don't have to ask for it each time you want to call your friend. Entries can be easily added and removed to and from the database.

You can set the application to display a user-defined text message when you cannot answer a call, as well as configure a custom ring tone for received calls. The ring time is also customizable.

As described above, the program should not pose any problem to the regular user. However, in case it does not work properly, please make sure that your IP address is displayed correctly within its main window and that your firewall does not block the access to ports 8500 and 6767, used for making and receiving calls.

On an ending note, VOIP Caller Extreme provides you with a simple method to communicate with friends in the same network. While there are various applications out there that allow voice call receiving, this particular tool impresses through ease of use and since it comes with no price tag, it is worth a try.
