[edit] Software

The first and major piece of software OpenWengo produced is known as WengoPhone Classic, a SIP compliant VoIP client. With WengoPhone the user can call other WengoPhone users. It is also possible to call landlines and cell phones after purchasing credits. Calls from the Wengo SIP service to certain other standards-based providers are possible.

WengoPhone NG (for Next Generation), will be a refactored version of WengoPhone Classic. In the past, WengoPhone NG has been referred to as "Picard". WengoPhone v2 is available for Windows XP/2000, Linux, and Mac OS X. Both 2-way and 3-way calling are supported, and instant messaging support, implemented using libpurple, can connect to MSN Messenger, OSCAR protocol based networks such as AOL Instant Messenger or ICQ, XMPP-based networks such as Google Talk and Jabber, and the Yahoo! Messenger networks.

OpenWengo also recently published a WengoPhone Firefox extension, which allows users to make calls from the Mozilla Firefox web browser. Versions for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux are available, although the latter is lagging behind with development.
