    //Hello All,//
    So sad to see HHL shut down. I had a lot of fun calling around the world.
    Back to Echolink or is there another service using VoIP to connect my Cisco phone?

    Ham's Over IP and Amateur Wire.

    Ralf,

    You can use either HamsOverIP (hamsoverip.com) or AmateurWire (amateurwire.org).

    You submit the original copy of your ham radio license, plus
    your name, callsign, email, phone number, and DMR ID if you
    have one.

    For those who don't have a "hard phone", you can use the
    GroundWire app to set up a SIP account for either or both
    on your iOS on Android phone. HamsOverIP users can contact
    AmateurWire users, and vice versa. The nice thing is that
    you don't have to give your landline or cellphone number
    out over the air.

    I'm on both, but I haven't used either one all that much.

    Also, there is a $10 initial purchase fee for the Groundwire
    app.
