Switchboard : Browser-to-Browser Internet Phone

Switchboard is a browser-to-browser internet phone that enables you to make voice calls, conference calls, send files, send voicemails, and chat with your contacts directly from the browser window. Simply create a Switchboard account and invite contacts.

Depending on your connection setting, you are able to choose between different connection modes. If you’re on a fast line you can go with high audio quality mode, users on slower lines can switch to low bandwidth mode. It claims to work even on dial-up modems.

Features:

• Make internet phone calls from one browser to another.
• Switchboard users: call your friends, leave voicemails, instant message, send files etc.
• Login and chat with your MSN, AIM, and ICQ contacts.
• Enable / Disable sound effects and popup alerts.
• Connection modes: Guaranteed / high audio quality / low bandwidth mode.
• Works even in corporate network environments (i.e. through proxy servers)
• Receive email notifications on incoming voicemails.
• Premium service: Create private switchboard for your blog or website.

Keep in mind, in order to run Switchboard on your browser you will need to have Java installed, an internet connection and a working headset.
