Free Calls Over the InternetProviding you have an internet connection, It is now possible to make free phone calls over the internet and there are no catches. So, how do you do it? Well, you will need to download Skype, a free program that will allow you to phone other Skype users free of charge. Once you have downloaded Skype, run the setup.exe and choose a Skype username. To use Skype you will need a microphone and speakers on your computer, or you might find it easier to buy a Skype headset, which plugs into the headphone and microphone sockets on your computer to provide the necessary functionality. If your computer has Bluetooth, then you can opt for a wireless Bluetooth Skype headset. What if your friends don't have Skype? Firstly, tell them about net4phone.co.uk so they can get Skype too! Secondly, you can still phone them using your Skype, and no matter where they are in the world, you will only pay the cost of making a local phone call in that part of the world. Pretty cool huh? To phone their conventional telephone or mobile, you will need to use a feature called SkypeOut, whereby you buy Skype credit (to pay for the non-Skype bit of the phone call). You can pay for Skype credit using any major credit card or PayPal, and it is added to your Skype account ready for you to make calls with SkypeOut. If you have friends in foreign countries, then you will easily save money. Skype has come up with one rate for the 20 most popular global call destinations at just 1.1 pence per minute, allowing you to make very cheap international phone calls. What is VoIP?VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, and means your conversation is transmitted as voice data over the internet rather than by traditional telephone lines. Why use VoIP?Free phone calls! You will need to have a broadband internet connection, but then as long as the person you're calling uses the same VoIP service, e.g. Skype, as you, the phone call itself is free. VoIP services such as Skype also allow free videocalling. What equipment do you need to use Skype?You will need: - A fast broadband connection. - A VoIP program such as Skype installed on your computer. - A computer with a microphone and sound output through speakers or headphones. If you prefer, you can use a VoIP headset, which provides you with a microphone and headphones, and connects to your computer via the Mic In and Headphones In sockets. You can also get VoIP phones that connect to your computer via USB and can control the VoIP program through the handset. - If your computer has Bluetooth, you can use a Bluetooth headset which allows wireless connection between the computer and the headset, allowing you to move away from your computer when making a VoIP call. What if the person I want to call does not use a VoIP service, can I still call them for free?You can't call them for free, but you can make cheap phone calls to them. That's because VoIP services such as Skype allow you to use a call out service to connect from the internet to the local phone network. For example, Skype offers its SkypeOut service. The way this works is that the internet is used to get as close as possible to the person being called, and then the call out service does the last hop over the local phone network. This means that even when calling a person in a far flung country, you still only pay the price of a local phone call.
