Personally, I like to use Skype. I use optimum online w/ Boost so speed really isn't a problem. If you don't want to pay a lot of money for international calls you can try Yahoo Voice (http://voice.yahoo.com/). Their international rates are cheaper than most other providers. I haven't personally used the service but I have a few friends that seem to like Yahoo Voice just as much as Skype.
Also, if you want you can try internetcalls.com (http://www.internetcalls.com/en/index.html). Since this service is fairly new, it's still in its beta stages. I don't know how good the quality of the calls is though. But right now, internetcalls features free calling to all landline phones in the U.S. and about 15+ others. |

I heard about Services like that and i dont believe that they working truly! its just promotional ****. There a many kinds of services like that on the enternet like www.voipcheap.com and freecalls.com!! their calling programm is same and they are also telling that Internetional Calls tolly free.. but in the real they are asking to buy Credits! And it tells like: Sorry, this destination is not free. Please buy credit or log in. Or call only the free destinations. but in Free List they are telling its Free...

I've seen many useless pc to phone programs myself. Right now there really aren't any good free clients anymore. 2006 was great since Skype had free calls to any phone within the U.S. I haven't used all of the clients out there but Yahoo Voice (just tried it) and Skype are my two favorites. Too bad they're not free anymore. But with the smaller and 'newer' services, it's wiser to search google, forums, etc for any reviews about the service

i have personally tried the gizmo project http://www.gizmoproject.com/ and have found it to be great! good quality, no drop outs, and very good prices! They also have free pc to phone calling to some locations. if your friend has gizmo too, you can chat, pc to phone for free!
i suggest you give it a go! -jimmy |

I find that Skype is the best VoIP client right now. At least the cheap Unlimited Calling Plan is cheap and quite good. My mom won't buy it though. Her first experiences with Skype were not that great.
I'm trying InternetCalls.com. It looks good and actually the interface is like Windows Live Messenger, Skype and Yahoo! Messenger combined.  If you read the disclaimer below, it says that it is limited to 5 hours a week. So it is only somewhat partially free, and not that great either. So I think I will uninstall the software. I still recommend Skype or AIM PhoneLine. |

As for calling landlines, I agree that skype is the absolute best. They've been spending a lot on upgrading their networks so that calls have better sound quality and they've succeeded for the most part. Unfortunately, Skype out is no longer free. (I like things that are free) Skype still has the best pc to pc voice chats through. The Gizmo project as mentioned by Jimmy89 actually works very well. The quality of the calls come close to the quality of Skype calls.

I would also prefer skype except in my past experience it was always cutting out and sometimes wouldn't call at all. But i suppose that was a while ago and things always improve.
I have seen it when it does work and it does its job incredibly well, also the other factors is how much money you're willing to spend. Personally i think skype is good value for pc to phone calls and it works well without stuff ups. -HellFire |
