Free Internet Phone Call
Almost everyone is offering free internet phone calls. Whether it is free phone calls with your phone attached to your computer or a microphone attached to your computer or a pc to pc phone call using a skype, Stanaphone,Voipax account, phone hog(free phone card) or yahoo account, this is becoming the norm. But each of these services operates pretty much on the same premise with different features. What they all have in common is that they all require the internet for the free portion of their service. Skype for example gives you a number you can dial using their server to call either another Skype account holder for free or call anyone in the US and or Canada for a nominal fee.
There is a service by the name of Stanaphone has a service that was available for regular consumers to use to make free outbound phone call anywhere in the world, they are still around but as of this writing have not re-availed this option to the retail market, but it is worth keeping a close eye on them as when they do, you will want to sign up. This will solve the outbound dilemma for free outbound phone calls anywhere. So combining these two services, gives you the best of both worlds at no cost. The only cost portion of Skype is when you are calling a non Skype member. Now PhoneHog is a totally different service. Phonehog provides a phone card per user. You can use the phone card to make phone calls anywhere you choose. Be warned this is not for everyone but just an article to inform you of the different options available. Like most phone cards, you will have to dial an 800# and then a pin number to make your phone call. What is different about this service is that you earn minutes by visiting websites, and subscribing to different products and services. Whether it is subscribing to a magazine subscription or applying for an auto insurance quote online, you would have to earn the free minutes. This is good for people who shop online a lot, why not get free minutes. Whether you are a techy who likes to talk online using your microphone and speakers or like a phone card where you earn free minutes online, the deregulation of the phone industry has opened up the doors to a whole new money saving world of possibilities. |
