Any good Voip clients for linux?


Hello.

Before, on my Windows, I've always been using VoipStunt, a pretty awesome client , that is nearly 3-4 times cheaper than skype . (talking about calling stationary phones).

But apparently , VoipStunt cannot be run under Linux (I've tried to run it with both CrossOver & Wine, it installs , but doesn't run ).

so, now, I'm searching for alternative, before paying for Skype credit. I was wondering, if there will be any voip clients, that are cheaper than skype?

thanks in advance.

Wengophone seems to be popular.

I have it but have not used it. It was included with the default install of Sidux.

Well yeah, I know that Skype is a bit different but it works nicely for me. I was able to call my friend in Malaysia for free with this and the sound is very good. Of course both would have to be a Skype member for it to be free. If not, you'd have to pay to connect to an actual phone.

that's exactly what I need it for. I'm using Skype since 3 years already, to make PC to PC calls. But what I need it for this time, is exactly the PC to Phone calls. And in this case, skype will charge me 0.06 EUR/min to make calls to Bulgaria (that's the destination I need to call).

With VoipStunt, I was charged 0.185 EUR , which is practically,... 3 times more talking with the same credit.

So, I was looking for something, much or less, cheaper than Skype. Found out Gizmo, that charges 0.054, which is slightly better.. there gotta be even cheaper clients out there^ ^
