QUESTION: I'm in Iran and the Yahoo messenger voice chat is not work properly here
Skype can not be installed on my Partner PC in canada (software problem) so I thought the easiest way is using another Software

The first thing to do is to check if SIP telephony is blocked from your country. SIP telephony works over port 5060/udp.
If SIP is not blocked, you can hook up a hard phone or a soft client to any of the SIP VoIP providers around the world. Try looking into www.broadvoice.com
Which country to do you want to call to? Different providers offer different plans. I can help you with the selection.

| Comment | Really thanks for your help. FYI: During this dicussion I was looking for some other options such as inspeak, sightspeed, Gizmo, paltalk, ... none of them worked but finally google talk worked. I think some service providers boycotts Iran (Yahoo!...) and some of them are blocked by our goverment (paltalk ...) (what a beautifull world ;-) ). so just there are a few chances to be succeed. Thanks aggain and I may back if service be blocked again :-)) (Right now it does not work but hopefully it'll be backed) Cheers | ||
