The best thing about firetalk is it won't cost you a thing! Firetalk is a free download. Installing the software is also quick and simple With a user friendly setup wizard using plug-and-play technology and dial-up networking, making it easy to...

Pros: Great Fun and Entertaining
Cons: NONE

This came on a cd that I got with music files on it.
I downloaded it and installed it.
It is really user friendly .

On New Years Eve I listened as different countries brought in the New Year. Is was really interesting to me....

Pros: Easy to set up, learn how to use, Very fun.
Cons: None

I like Fire Talk because you can hear the person who is speaking to you. You can also type to talk or do both alternately.

The set up wizard helps you along in setting up Fire Talk for use. It helps you configure your volume levels...

Pros: Free, good for people who don't type well.
Cons: Not anything worth mentioning.

I'm sure your probably wondering why I named my review "A nice community", where firetalk is a program. I hope I can fully answer that by the time I'm done with my review.

I have tried a lot of "talking" programs. So many...

Pros: Great clarity, takes up no screen space to work.
Cons: None that I have found

I have tried several internet telephony programs over the past year. From Netmeeting and MediaPhone (which I hate) to my trial run of Firetalk last night!

I must say that I was truly amazed at the clarity of this program. With the exception...

Pros: reliable, fast
Cons: not popular enough yet

I haven't had this program long, and I haven't had much of a chance to use it. However, I already find it to be very good program and it's fairly easy to use.

Now, a lot of people out there will be familiar with hearme.com,...

Pros: Relatively easy to use, many different rooms, voices are clear and easy to hear
Cons: None, really, except it does take time to get going because you have to wait for an email with your password

I downloaded this product 1) because it was free, and 2) I have way too much freetime. So I figured, let's try out the microphone on my computer that was collecting dust. After an initial setup and having to figure out how to log on, I was clipping along...

Pros: It was an experience I learned from
Cons: I'm sorry I ever stooped to trying this

I'm sorry to be the thorn in everyone's side here today, but this needs to be addressed. I'll make it short, though bitter:

FireTalk....

Perhaps I was just turned off when I used it, but here are the problems I ran into when using...

Pros: VERY CLEAR VOICE
Cons: Can't call to a telephone

Firetalk has got to be the BEST internet telephony freeware ever introduced on the internet. Provided that you use a headphone+mic or a headset, you will get voice clarity as good as the phone!

Firetalk is a free software that enables voice...

Pros: The program Does Work...sorta....
Cons: censorship; secret monitoring; arbitrary enforcement of the Terms of Service

Update #3: I need to make some corrections to my Update #2 and provide more information.

The BETA is finished. Firetalk has roled out it's new version and is NOW SELLING THE "so called" higer quality VQ Version for $19.95 PER SIX...

Pros: Free, Easy, Personable
Cons: Need microphone

Firetalk is amazing. My husband loves it not really for the chat purpose but to chat with people that would normally be long distance and cost lots to gab. I have many relatives that are long distance and I can't afford long distance to catch up.
...

Pros: It was deletable
Cons: The whole thing was bad.

I used firetalk for 2 days and on the second day I uninstalled it from my computer. The first day I tryed it, I tried it with two friends of mine.
One of witch convinced me to try it in the first place. So there we were all trying to talk on this...

Pros: Deeper interactions in chatrooms
Cons: None significant

Finally, there is a purpose to spending hours on end on the internet. Firetalk technology is very reliable and completely innovates the chat room concept as we've known it. Now, people are more real then ever, because Firetalk utilized voice and text...

Pros: Great Gadget
Cons: Not none as yet !

I have used other programs for chat and to save on long distance calls, but I'm definately chosing Firetalk as the #1. It is trouble free to install and to set up. They have also provided online user help live just check in with them if you have any...

Pros: free, allows universal communication
Cons: static and feedback, lack of opportunity to speak in chat rooms
