MSN has voice functions. I've used them before.

The best voice chat software i've come across is Yahoo's. It's invincible. Firewalls can't stop it. Period. It's based on a weird server pyramid scheme.

The question, is does she have a Mic?

Oh yes. This 'Invicibility' also carries over to webcams.

And it looks like she obviously has one, with that pose in the picture.

Why not rig up some voice and a webcam (Cheaper than an airplane ticket, that's for sure!!)

And maybe you might come to a decision before you even meet.

i have MSN 6 beta. and so does she. if her mic worked, we could easily talk thru that. but it doesnt.. :(

i have a mic, it saves me a lot of typing :p

and yahoo is really buggy. we used that because it had a good webcam function till msn 6 beta came through, and i really like it much more than yahoo. much more stable.

i can just call her, i do have her phone number. i could just pick up the phone and dial.

thing is my parents dont want to pay for a phone call to OZ. so i'm going to do it via aim phone. 4.9 cents a minute... that's my intent, at least...

Haha.. why don't you just buy her a Mic? Or is it a computer problem?

Couldn't cost that much to just wire her 20$ and have her go out and buy one.. and if you talk alot, it'll pay itself back eventually.

Have you ever thought about the posibility of her faking her Mic not working? Because she doesn't want you to hear her voice? Scarry posibility, but i've ran up agains it before.

Soundcard.. eh? Well, that's not so easy to fix..

Maybe one of her computer literate friends could help her straighten it out, given enough money..

yes, i've considered that possibility. but i doubt it. conduct otherwise is not pointing towards that.

besides, she's using XP home, i mean, bugs, everywhere!

Again, if you can get this problem resolved you can get around phone fees and buggy internet phones all together.

You could work a deal by asking if she has any computer literate friends, contacting them, wiring them money and asking them to straighten it out (And giving a tip, ofcourse). I've personally done this before, twice.

One for a webcam bug, and one for (As you mentioned) a soundcard bug.

Saved me 100$ in the longrun. Damn, talking across oceans is expensive.

Go to 7-11 and buy a phone card and call her from a pay phone you cheap ass!! I think is highly possible that she gave you a fake number, so stay away from sharp objects

Have you ever actually met her in person? Or talked to her on the phone? I am sure it is possible to fall in love on msn but it is not the same as falling in love with someone you can actually touch and see every day.

Funny thread. Amazing, the number of posts in such a short period of time.

Cute girl. Obviously healthy sex drive. And she's being honest with you about what she likes, what she wants...for pete's sake, I'm surprised you haven't had IM sex with her yet. Now, that would be the kicker for buying a plane ticket.

Put the keyboard down, and slowly back away...
