hi, Does Ichat AV work in Australia? What i have read you have to have AOL what about your own ISP? Or is this feature a Nth American thing just like Itunes that you pay for? Can someone please explain if it does work in Oz and how? thanks You need either a .mac username (see http://www.mac.com/) OR an AIM username. You can get an AIM username on the web at http://tinyurl.com/de39. When you have the username, enter it (and your password) into iChat. You'll be connected. You need to know the usernames of other people, so try ichatters.com to find people to try it out with.

I spent a year ichatting to my parents AV while living there and it was fantastic. There is a delay but the quality of picture and sound was great on a 1mb broadband connection.

No reason why not. > > What i have read you have to have AOL No, you have to have either a .mac account or an AIM (AOL instant messenger, which is free) account to log in.

You sign in with your user name (either from .mac or AIM), then you add 'buddies' to your list, they also need either a .mac or AIM account. Then you use it like any other messenger program. If you have a camera and mic attached to your machine you get the option to use voice and video as long as the bandwidth you are both using is good enough. > > thanks > > Try SKYPE it is great and works Or there's OhPhoneX which works after a fashion. |
