Mumble is a free online voice-chat tool that uses very few data and works not bad also in poor conditions. You can either install the programm on your device (computer or smart-phone) or use the web-interface.

You can use the web-interface without installing any programm. However, we expierienced that it was not working in several cases. https://mumble.rankenste.in/ In the window that comes up, for "Token" and "password" you can enter whatever you want or leave it empty.

When using mumble it is best to wear headphones, so that there are no echoes created while other users talk (due to your microphone getting a delayed feedback from your speakers).
