PhoneGnome supports AOL/AIM
AOL/AIM users can now user their AIM Call Out account for all their long-distance calls with PhoneGnome.
PhoneGnome provides an easy way to use your AOL/AIM account for long-distance and international calls placed from your PhoneGnome-enabled home or office phone, seamlessly. You don’t need a computer to place calls, nor do you need to change anything about how you use the phone - you just pick up and dial a number, the same as you always have, and if PhoneGnome can’t place the call for free, it will use your AIM Call Out account. It couldn’t be easier!
To activate your AIM Call Out account on PhoneGnome, simply go to your My PhoneGnome account page and add a new ITSP under Features / Low Cost Internet Calling / Edit / [Add Internet Calling Service] / Manual SIP Settings and on that page use settings as shown below:

That’s all you need to do to use your AIM Call Out service for all your long-distance and international calls, directly on your existing home or office phone - no computer, software, or separate “bat phone” needed.

It sounds like PhoneGnome actually makes the AIM Call Out service useful! Ken Camp called it “half of a phone service” since it cannot receive calls. With PhoneGnome, that problem is solved (as is 911).
Nice work!
