Google Talks short coming number one is the fact that you could not use it to make phone calls to plain old phones. TalQer ads the functionality of Skype & Yahoo Messenger - best known as "SkypeIn" & "SkypeOut" to Google Talk. So, in a way Google Talk is now complete. The odd thing is that TalQer is not associated with Google, they just describe themselves as fans of Google Talk. The service works really well and this is what TalQer offers:
- Choice: You choose whether you want to integrate Talqer together with Google Talk or use it as a stand alone application
- Quality: Talqer is based on open industry standards and offers very high voice quality
- Convenience: Talqer adds three buttons to the Google Talk user interface to allow you to call normal telephone lines from inside Google Talk
- Prizing: Talqer offers affordable rates: every single Talqer rate is lower than Skype. Calls to 22 countries cost only 1.5¢ per minute: a 33% savings when compared with Skype for US callers and a 53% savings for European customers (no VAT). We offer calls to another 8 countries at just 2¢ per minute. That's thirty (30) countries at 2¢ or less!
Talqer™ (pronounced "talker") is brought to you by Vozin Communications, Inc which engineering team is split between US and China.
TalQer has all the usual PSTN-in and PSTN-out features and especially the prizing (better than Skype and competitive with Yahoo) makes it interesting while waiting for Google to make their move.

post a commentSounds like an awesome service. Will definitely have to sign up. This sort of thing would definitely be better than the stuff they just added in the leaked version.
