wengo - le libre acces au telephone sur internet

Published by Colin on 4th January 2005.

France’s Neuf Telecom is attempting to follow in Skype’s footsteps with a hybrid offer called Wengo. It works on your PC with the usual headset configuration but you can also connect an ordinary phone to it if you add a USB-to-RJ11 “wenbox” to the setup. Several packages are available if you want to call outside the free wengo to wengo network, some of them include the wenbox in the monthly subscription. It’s ISP-agnostic too. Quite an interesting move, if you live in France anyway.
