Which Services/Apps To Replicate Skype's "Calling To U.S. Landline And Mobile Numbers"?
Yeah me too, I never touched SIP in all these years because Skype just worked perfectly for what I wanted. There are apps for the phones but choosing the right provider with a package is the key part. Now they would have accepted my UK credit card but wanted photos of both sides of my signed credit card including the 3 digits on the signature strip (illegal to store that on their end) and also a copy of my passport - so I chose the bank transfer. I could have easily chosen to pay with my Thai bank card but that may have locked me into Thai calling plans - I'm not sure on that. Anyway I got it up and running and it seems to do the job. -

Which Services/Apps To Replicate Skype's "Calling To U.S. Landline And Mobile Numbers"?
Thank you for your reply. I've seen your thread and posts on VOIP on the forum. You have an abundance of knowledge and expertise in VOIP technology, you are the go-to guy on VOIP in this forum. Even if some of the info is going over my head, I'm still learning a lot from your contributions. I had not really known anything about SIP until a few weeks ago. Yet, it's been around for a long time already. And seems to have a lot of potential to be the answer here, for being able to make the calls to numbers in the U.S., and at a good rate. That said, the tech seems to be more oriented toward heavier duty, for businesses and calling from computers. I'm strictly mobile, not making calls from a computer but from a mobile phone. But it is good to see some niche for mobile calling in the SIP eco-system. Anyway, the bank transfer mode of payment you mentioned here isn't an attractive option, for me at least. I'd just prefer to use a credit card. I assume there are going to be some SIP providers (or clients, is that the term?) who accept payment on a U.S. credit card. I have downloaded the Linphone app, and a couple other 'work with SIP' apps, but haven't proceeded with any of them yet. Callcentric is another outfit, and I saw that customers can 'rent' a phone number, which comes at a cost of about $3/month. OK, something to consider. If you want a number, which I really don't need. I made some of my last Skype calls yesterday. I told one customer service rep at some point during the call that I was calling on Skype, from here. She was surprised. I asked her what was showing up on her end as to where the incoming call was from. I did not hear a clear reply, and it wasn't that important anyway, as we just carried on with the business at hand. Oh yes, the scammers are out in force. Skype worked like a charm. There were even many months when I didn't make any calls, but it was worth it to have the subscription and keep it because when you did need it, it was there and was reliable. That's what I'd really like to replicate. -

Is the new 145% China tariff "actually" payback for COVID? Maybe yes?
You really don't understand or have a clue about the dynamics or the economics at play here. The trade war hurts the US far more than it hurts China. China can do without selling to the US because it only accounts for less than 15% of their total exports. Meanwhile, Americans can’t survive without cheap product imports from China. So it doesn’t matter if Trump imposes a 145% tariff or a 1145% tariff. In the end, it’s the American consumer who suffers. Trump will have to blink first. China can endure the pain far better than American politics or the American consumer can. Americans aren’t as used to this kind of trade hardship, but the Chinese are. Watch and see.
