Author Topic: Wire - an actually half decent communication service  (Read 988 times)

wire is cool imo, it's an application for ios, android and web that allows you to voice and text chat with others. there really isn't a huge difference between other apps, but i've found that communication almost always goes without inconveniences. plus built in soundcloud and youtube support (i think). so make an account and test it out, please, because amazing things always go unnoticed.

What's wrong with Kik.

or skype, telegram, whatsapp, snapchat, messenger (if you mind zuckerberg looking at your stuff), google hangouts, tox, and the other plethora of messaging apps out there.

i've standardized on steam, facebook, skype, and snapchat. easy enough, don't have other people to talk to on those other services.

OTHER THAN THAT i still feel that this isn't that bad of a service, just really have no use for it.

skype is laggy and a resource hog

skype is laggy and a resource hog

never use it on my phone, and it's the only reliable (sadly) webcam chat program out there.

google hangouts works but it's easier for me to click "call" on skype.

the only real problem is that it hogs up my cpu for encoding webcam, which is understandable.

i would never use skype for voice
only if I want to video chat

Because not everyone I met in real life uses teamspeak or even knows what the forget that is.

i don't know anyone that only uses skype so is not an issue for me

Well skype's forgeted by microsoft, telegram has a plethora of cryptographic (security) issues, whatsapp is good, messenger is as you said forgeted by facebook, hangouts is forgeted by google, and tox is good.

when i need clear as hell communications i use blink (sip)

when i need something that most everyone has i use skype

when i don't need clear or common voip/text methods i use wire.

i'm basically saying when i don't have certain standards to meet i stick with wire. not many of my friends use it, but i've convinced a few people to jump on the train and most of them say that they're satisfied with it.


if i need voice chat only i go straight for discord but only a few of my friends have actually started using it

plethora
You called?


I had to be beaten over the head to get a kik, so I 'll probably never get wire, but it looks ok I guess.

me and my group of friends use telegram
stuffs good

telegram is near perfect, i just don't like how you have to link a phone number.
