Why not just use the company mobile phone instead?
Doh! OK, fair cop. In my defence I had been thinking about my own
requirements
for overseas work where the cost of extended conversations by mobile is
prohibitive and the boss starts getting nervous ticks when she sees the
bill! |
In my basic tests the audio quality in Skype sounded better than any mobile
call i've made. When i say 'better' i mean the sound is richer, more
natural, clearer. It also gives you the ability to send messages. Of course
seeing video is your objective but i agree with Julian in that Skype would
make a good fallback.
Tech bit: I believe Skype uses a compressed wide band audio codec (probably
7Khz or similar) whereas mobile phone networks just use 3.4Khz
