With PicoPhone we need not to place a telephone on our desk that has no enough space left or run fast to the telephone in next room when the bell is ringing. Here is the detailed introduction of this tiny internet phone.

PicoPhone is a tiny and easy to use Internet phone, that uses a simple UDP-based protocol, which works very well with NAT Internet sharing. The program is a single executable file, just start it, enter the IP address (or computer name) of the other party and connect. We will hear a ringing sound upon connection and have the option to take or deny the call. PicoPhone can handle multiple connections if our audio system supports it. In addition, we can open a text chat session with the other part, or send a short text message. Needless to say, that whoever we want to call, needs to have a copy of PicoPhone. However, since the program is so small, it can be easily attached to an email. The interface is plain and simple but does everything we need. PicoPhone is free for us and it does not contain any adware or spyware. It is a standalone software and does not need any extra software and hardware requirement. It works with most recent variants of Windows and its current version is 1.64.

The key functions and benefits of this tiny internet phone include:

1. PicoPhone is a simple Internet Phone, which allows multiple concurrent calls, has chat functionality, delay control, silence threshold control, works well with NAT routers.

2. PicoPhone uses a simple UDP-based protocol, which works very well with NAT. The program accepts connections on UDP port 11676 and makes connection to that port.

3. Optionally a port number can follow the address (the colon is used as a separator), if the connection has to be made to another port (the NAT router on the receiving side should convert the port number to the default 11676).

4. PicoPhone allows multiple concurrent calls, but the audio device should allow multiple output streams to be opened simultaneously. Conferences are not set up automatically, i.e., if A calls B and C, B and C won't hear each other: B has to call C, or C has to call B for the complete conference to be set up.

5. On incoming calls the program plays the file ringin.wav, which should be present in the default windows location for wav files or in the same directory of PicoPhone.

6. PicoPhone provides a friendly and easy-to-use interface. This is a very nice, easy to use and full-functions Internet softphone. Not only can beginners use it simply but also experienced users can also use it for advanced application. Enter a fully qualified domain name or an IP address and then press the Call key. We can put a comment before the address, but in this case we should enclose the address between "<" and ">". If not specified, the address uses the standard PicoPhone port, 11676. A port can be specified after the address, using a colon as a separator. When the second two forms are used, and also the first two forms, when the address is a DNS name and not an IP address, the address will be saved and it will be available from the drop down box for the next time.
