    Hi Boo! Thanks for the feedback. We have no plans for Linux at the moment.
    However, if we receive a lot of requests we will come out with one. Try
    running it in a VM and let us know how it goes?

    Hi James,

    This is not officially supported but you can run the current installer on a
    Windows machine first, then use the installed application folder to run in
    Wine. Most importantly, try the dotnet20, dotnet30, and dotnet35 winetricks
    as described in the links below

    There is no guarantee that Hoiio will work as intended, or can ever work at
    all. In particular, while it’s possible to get Callback/SMS to work, getting
    Internet calls (SIP) to work is a challenge.

    A better alternative would be to use a virtual machine such as VMWare or
    Parallels for Linux.

    Which Linux distribution are you using by the way?

    awesome hoiio. been a supporter since hoiio is launched as i found that skype does not have this feature. What skype does on mobile is using 3G which i don’t really like, always subjected to call drop and call lags. Hoiio to me is like a calling card, only it is much cheaper and the apps managed to remove the hassle of dialing in long numbers in the case of calling card.

    On top of that, i also use Hoiio to avoid awkward situation!!! just do a call back, and u can walk away from a awkward situation pretending to pick up calls. HAHHAHA

    Hi Tristan!

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It really just makes our day. We just
    want to make great value telco quality calls accessible to as many people as
    possible. We’re glad you enjoy using our service. Should we add “Helps you
    avoid awkward situations” to our list of features? :)
