Phones and VoIP

[ciphergoth]

Two questions:

1) By any chance, does anyone have a spare tri- or quad-band phone I can use while I'm in SF? My SIM card has arrived and I have a phone I can use in this country, but it would be nice to have a phone while I'm away.

2) What's the best way to get a voice conversation between a Linux and a Windows machine? I have Ekiga installed under Linux and it seems to work, and I've got myself a SIP address, so one way would be to find a good SIP client for Windows. But perhaps I should be using something else altogether? I've Googled, of course, but one recommendation from someone who's been there is worth a thousand searches.

Does the Motorola V3 do tri-band? I still have my old one.

You mean one of these? It seems they're quad-band - so that would be fantastic! I wonder how best to get it from you - should I try and meet up with you somewhere in Docklandsland? Or do our paths cross somewhere more convenient? I live in Streatham and work in Shoreditch.

Mucho gratitude!

Yes, it's the V3 RAZR, in black. I won't be home to fetch it for tomorrow, but I'm free on Wednesday evening for central or Southwark-ish pubbage, or could do lunch in Docklands.

*Ping!*

Where would you suggest meeting up? I have a free Wednesday evening this week, unless the BSFA are up to something.
