582. Briefly: freecall.com using linphone

I've covered how to set up linphone in the past: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/linphone-with-iinet-iitalk-voip-service.html

This is thus going to be a very brief post with just the settings for freecall.com, which offers a SIP service.

The specific settings that you need to make are (this is from my ~/.linphonerc

[auth_info_0]
username=myUserId
userid=myUserId
passwd=PasswordInPlainText
realm="sip.freecall.com"

[proxy_0]
reg_proxy=sip:sip.freecall.com
reg_identity=sip:myUserID@sip.freecall.com
reg_expires=3600
reg_sendregister=1
publish=0
dial_escape_plus=0

Yes, that's it. So, there you go - you now have a reasonably priced alternative to Skype for international calling.

I've charged my account with 10 Euro, and I've made a few test phone calls. So far so good.
