| 504525 | 2006-12-06 02:16:00 | i have a question regarding the new 'ojo video phone" telecom has located here: www.telecom.co.nz my question is, i want to call a friend using this video phone who lives in the uk. now do I have to buy a second ojo video phone from telecom and send it to the uk so my friend I will call can see me? or does my friend who I want to call, who lives in the uk, have to buy their own ojo video phone from inside the uk? if so, can someone tell me where in the uk my friend can buy an ojo video phone that will work with the telecom ojo video phone? the reason i am asking is because power plugs etc are different in the uk. and can you just plug the ojo video phone straight into a filter that is connected to the phone line? because on their website it says something about needing a modem or router? p.s there is no information on the telecom site to answer my question. |

All it is is a Webcam attached to a VOIP phone that runs through a network. From what I know Skype does this for free (unless you call landlines), all you need is a cheap VOIP Phone (or head set) and a webcam (which can be bought from Trademe for as little as $50 for both) http://www.ojoservices.com/ IMO its better to use Skype. EDIT: http://skype.com |

Some telcos in other countries are on the potential Ojo release list too, but yes in most cases you'd have to buy a second Ojo then courier it to whoever you want to call. | Chris Keall (10417) | ||
