How to Make Free or Cheap Internet Phone Calls

How to Make Free or Cheap Internet Phone Calls

by Gen Wright


It looks unbelievable but it's true. You can now make internet phone calls that are free or cost next to nothing. That is achievable because of the growth of technology - namely, the Internet. First, let's understand how making phone calls on the Internet possible.

The Internet transfers data using the Internet protocol (IP). All data, in its digital format are transferred from one point to another location either via wires and cables, or over a wireless network. Data that is sent over the Internet is divided into packets. Any attempt to send or receive data on the Internet is an attempt to send or receive these packets. A high quality connection means that you are able to send and receive packets smoothly and quickly without losses. However, sometimes we may get a flaky connection. That means packets are lost in the transferring process. Some part of data that we are meant to receive or some data that we sent is lost.

Fortunately, as the Internet infrastructure all over world improves, this is very uncommon.

To connect to the Internet, you will need a modem and a router. The modem allows you to connect to an internet provider. A router is necessary because it allows the network to identify you, so that you can send and receive data packets. Without it, the packets wouldn't know where to go.

Obviously, to make an internet phone call, you need an Internet connection. That means you should be plugged in with the equipment mentioned above. Your personal computer or laptop can be connected to the Internet with a LAN (local area network) cable, or a wireless adapter (if you have a wireless router).

Once you are connected to the Internet, you will get some special software. This program can be easily obtained from your Internet phone service provider, or downloaded for free from the Internet. Good example of such a software is X-Lite. Or, if you don't want to use your computer and program, you can get a special piece of equipment commonly known as the IP phone device (e.g. inksys PAP2). This phone is plugged into your router, and you should be able to use it like a normal phone.

With the special hardware or software installed, you can make and receive local or international phone calls. Commonly, if you are calling someone on the same network as you, you do not have to pay a single cent. You just paying when making a phone call to someone who is on a different VoIP network, or when calling to a land line. Even then, the rates incurred are noticeably cheaper than traditional international phone calls made via land lines.

Internet phone calls can be free or really cheap because transferring data over the Internet is cheap. As the infrastructure continues to grow, the cost of high quality Internet connections happen to be cheaper.

For the buyer point of view, this is great news because now, buyers have other alternatives to pick from when making international phone calls. Widespread competition has also driven prices southwards. All in all, these factors have contributed to making internet phone calls free, or highly affordable.

Free International Calls: Make Free Phone Calls To Family and Friends Around the World

by Nisha Garg


The global presence of jobs and businesses is now a fact which is clear to everyone living on this wonderful planet called earth. Human beings are now staying in different locations of the world for periods of time which are far more than normal and hence the need to talk to their loved ones specially is one which is gaining an increasing amount of prominence.

Hence the father who is staying in Durban needs to know about the well being of his son who is working in the island of Hawai. Earlier the method that would be there for him was the process of making an international call with the help of a traditional connection. This was quite unsatisfactory on both sides due to the thought of the rising amount featured in the bill of making an international call. The option that is there for the user (or the father to take) is quite a peaceful one in the possibility of being able to make free calls and that too free international calls. Hence the father can now talk for a period of time that he desires without having to worry about the money. The money is in fact now an entity which is no longer a part of international calling.

The dominating reason for this is the utilisation of the VoIP technology and the associated free service of the service providers who are engaged in giving this facility to the general public. This technology has created the chance of absolute advancement both in terms of the quality of sound as well as in the feature of the call being free.

Free international calling is now a feature that is present for every user to take regardless of his economic or financial position. The benefits that are a standard part of this new process are being used by many human beings all over the world and hence the result is the presence of many smiles on the faces of many satisfied customers at each and every corner of the world. Human beings are taking the maximum possible advantages of free calling and hence the number of VoIP service providers is growing at a stormy pace due to the dynamic need which is never still and is constantly increasing.

Hence the person who is interested in making free calls has to go 'surfing' on the internet and hence visit various websites of the service providers. He can therefore check out the different types of offers that are being provided and hence select the best one for him according to his needs. The nest step that he needs to take is to register on that website and download the required software. These websites follow the process of email activation. In this process the account of the user is activated as soon as he goes to a link provided on the email informing him that his registration is successful.

The simplicity which is hence the overall soul of the process involved in being able to make free calls is quite fantastic. The importance of this underlying simplicity is evident from the increase in the number of customers and hence the resulting prosperity of the businesses of the VoIP service providers.

Hence international calls are now vested with the positive attribute of being free and this has resulted in the increase in the number of calls that are being made. The business is on the rise with the increase in the number of customers and the total communication domain has undergone a complete change in this respect. The feature of making free international calls is therefore now quite a frequent one and hence the future too is quite bright for people who want to stay in touch with people (that they care for) living in international locations. Free calls are hence quite responsible for satisfying the needs of the customers both emotionally and also financially.

The process of making free calls has now become quite real due to the use of a new technology in communication which is known as VoIP. Voice over Internet Protocol is therefore responsible for the dream to assume the garb of reality.

The common man is now given the opportunity to make free calls to anywhere in the world and the money that is generated as the cost for the calls made is 'zero'. The business prospects have therefore grown with the increase in the number of people who are expressing their intent of taking the advantages of this technology and hence VoIP service providers are doing quite well both in the local as well as in the global scenario.

The major feature of internet calls is therefore the cost factor which is a non-existent and hence is therefore quite attractive. There are many reasons behind this, however one of the basic reason is the process of online advertising. It is now a known fact that most of the businesses in the world have an online aspect as well and hence the service providers are also vested with this feature, in fact they are completely web based in the form of being available as websites. The high degree of desire leads to a huge number of hits on these websites and therefore these are quite effective places to put up advertisements. Due to the fact that the major amount of the revenue for VoIP service provider websites is generated from the companies who are holding these advertisements and therefore the money that is charged for making an international call is not required to be paid by the user of VoIP services. The user is hence able to make free calls without the worry of having to pay any type of payment at all and hence each and every day the service providers see an increase in the number of human beings who are applying for the benefits of VoIP enabled communication.

The things that are needed for making a free call are also devoid of the feature of being annoying due to their overlying simplicity. The basic software that is needed to avail of the services of VoIP is available in most of the websites which provide this latest marvel in the world of communication. This software can therefore be downloaded on the PC and the person only needs to register with the website for getting started with the process of making free internet calls.

The computer is not the only medium for making internet calls as the normal phone is also able to make use of the process of the services that area feature of the technology of VoIP. A normal phone, when fitted with an ATA (analogue telephone adaptor) is able to make free internet calls along with the help of a modem. There are also standard VoIP phones which already come fitted with the required technology and hence multiple options are present for the user to take when he wants to make free calls.

Internet is now a medium which is being frequently used for the purpose of communication and is hence serving another wonderful purpose other than the basic one of providing information. The technology of VoIP is now being used all over the world and is therefore successful in assuming a global presence. Hence the interest to understand the actual working of this process is quite understandable and hence the next paragraph focuses on the interesting topic of the working of VoIP.

Hence the basic method which involved is the modification of human voice into digital signals. These signals are then sent across the internet and through the physical medium of fibre optics to the respective destinations. This is a simple attempt to give an overview of VoIP and hence the user is able to gain the attraction of this wonderful technology in a better way when he starts to make free calls.

Free Internet Calls: A Thought Discussed on a Phone For Free

Free Internet Calls: A Thought Discussed on a Phone For Free

by Nisha Garg


The Red Indians sent smoke signals to communicate among themselves and the soldiers used Morse code during the WWI. However, the golden day when a wonderful person and a marvellous inventor called Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, bought with it not only a sunny morning but a new way to communicate. Since then telephone lines have been an integral part of the human life and has created an identity of its own.

Another major event took place when the internet was bought into the communication sphere by the English scientist Timothy Berners Lee and since then the world of communication has never been the conventional one that is normally associated with communication mediums. Many events have taken place which have introduced new technologies as well as new concepts altogether.

The ability now to use the features of a telephone via the medium of the internet is one of the events mentioned before in the earlier paragraph. Hence a person can now make a call over the internet to another person. Internet calls are therefore now one of the basic tools being used to stay in touch with friends and relatives with national and international borders no longer serving as hindrances in the way of remaining in touch.

The dominant technology behind this has been VoIP which is a completely new entry in the field of technologies which are being used for communication. Voice over IP or Voice over Internet Protocol is a tool which now has made it possible for a person to make phone calls using the internet as a medium for transmission. This can happen both with the personal computer as well as a normal phone as both of them only require the necessary technology and also an internet connection. Hence users can now make internet calls with a phone (with an ATA(Analogue Telephone Adaptor)) or a PC with the required software. Another option exists in the form of a VoIP phone which has the required technology already installed in it.

There is yet another interesting feature associated with this new feature of internet calls and this is the possibility of making free calls where the user can make calls to any location without the need to pay any sort or form of money. This is therefore an attractive new prospect which gives the user to make free internet calls and therefore have a great time doing it given the fact that they have all basic facilities and also additional facilities as well.

VoIP has therefore created a new field of communication with wonderful business prospects as well. This can be explained from the fact that whenever users visit any one of the service provider websites then he will encounter lots of online advertisements either as blinkers or a pop ups. The VoIP service provider websites are perhaps some of the best websites in terms of the number of hits that they receive and are therefore logical as well as good places to put advertisements in. the revenue generated from these companies (they of course can't put their advertisements for free) is used to handle the costs of the calls that are made and this is how the user is able to get completely free internet calls. But the chance for conducting excellent product promotions by putting related advertisements on the VoIP gives the companies a reason to spent the money and hence the system works both ways by increasing the product awareness for the company and generating revenue for the website.

Internet calls are therefore are also utilised by entire organisations for various business reasons and hence VoIP service providers also have another separate target customer group in the form of these organisations. Business is not only dwelling for the service providers but is also on the rise with the emergence of developing countries both in terms of economy and financial capability.

Calling home more expensive than buying food?

Calling home more expensive than buying food?

by Vyke Communications


Latest Expat Mobile Phone National Survey by Vyke Communications reveals Expats spend more money on their mobile phones than they do on their food bills

As part of a consumer programme, Vyke Communications (http://www.vyke.com/) the mobile Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service provider, today releases its qualitative and quantitative research from its recently conducted national survey of the mobile habits of Asian expats. The campaign is being supported by Indian cricket legend, Sourav Ganguly. The international sports star is frequently away from home on tour and finds technology such as Vyke's VoIP help him to cost-effectively keep close to his family and friends.

So near but yet so far....

40% of British ethnic communities keep in touch with their families by calls and text

In the days before sophisticated technology descended, the word communication had a different connotation. Family and loved ones would wait in anguish for over two weeks for that cherished picture postcard from abroad to arrive, announcing their safe arrival.

Today, technology has completely revolutionised that scenario and has made communicating and keeping in touch with our loved ones abroad easier than ever. At our disposal, sophisticated gizmos sit snugly inside the palm of our hands, internet free calls and social networking sites allow us to send messages and photos instantly, wherever we may be 24 hours a day.

According to new research by Vyke, ethnic communities value their friendships abroad more than those here in the UK. For a quarter of people who call abroad, their mobile phone calls and texts can cost over £60 a month.

The expense of calling and sending text messages was the number one reason why more people prefer other forms of communication such as email and mail.

Survey highlights:

More male expats are likely to call their friends abroad than their girlfriends.

More expats aged between 16-24 yrs old spend more on making mobile phone calls than they do on food

Women talk more, spending more on their mobile phone bills than men do. Moving abroad, doesn't mean cutting off ties. Expats in London value their friendships more with 53% regularly calling their friends, whereas in Wales only 20% call their friends back home.

Quotes Sourav Ganguly, Captain of the Indian Premier Leagues Kolcata Knight Riders, comments, "Travelling globally, playing cricket keeping in touch with my family back in Calcutta costs a small fortune, now using Vyke on my phone, calling home has significantly reduced my phone bills".

Sourav Ganguly, Captain of the Indian Premier Leagues Kolcata Knight Riders, comments, "Having Vyke means I can ring anyone, anytime, anywhere without worrying about how much its' going to cost me. It's so convenient, I'm totally Vyke'd up".

Aaron Powers, Head of Business Development, Vyke Communications, says, "Mobile network operators are threatened by mobile VoIP. They have responded by removing VoIP capabilities from mobile handsets that they sell and by introducing very restrictive contract terms prohibiting you from using their networks to access services such as VoIP. By doing this it is further confirmation that the operators intend to continue overcharging consumers for as long as they can.

Aaron Powers, Head of Business Development, Vyke Communications, comments, "We recently launched FreeTxT, which enables Vyke customers to send and receive free text messages to fellow Vyke users and considerably cheaper SMS than other VoIP suppliers, to non Vyke users. If you would like to try Vyke, sign up and get a free dollar to call or sms to test the different products for real".
