It's horrible! I tried using regular long-distance connection and it sounds fine. Problem? Somewhere in the Google Voice pipeline, the quality drops off.

When you pick up, it dials the number in Canada.<br /><br />The Google connection to Canada is VOIP.JGFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580785981874040314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587346.post-69420821596017200532009-05-06T18:27:00.000-05:002009-05-06T18:27:00.000-05:00But google isn't a Voip service at this point is i...But google isn't a Voip service at this point is it? From what I understand, it's simply connecting two numbers based on however those numbers would have connected if you'd dialed directly. For example, if i have it call my skype number, it's the quality of the skype client that's important. Likewise if I have it call my cell phone, my cell reception and that of the person I'm calling are the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
