| Save Money on Long Distance Phone Calls By Jeremy Tompkins, Internet Specialist It’s no secret that Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone calls can cost significantly less than those made from a standard phone line, especially if they’re long-distance. Some services like Skype are completely free if you call another Skype user. We all love something for nothing. With free software, by the way it works seamlessly with your internet connection; you can chat away with friends and never worry about cost, time or distance. Share the love and get your friends to download the software so you can talk, chat or make video calls for nothing. Three-way calls are another great feature of Internet phone software. No longer is three-way calling limited to business professionals, you, your friends, and your family can get in on the action. There are many options to make free or low cost world wide calls. Most of the time it requires that people on both ends use the same software, for example, both are using Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Chat , etc .. You may also download VoIP software to your wireless phone (if it is supported) that will allow you to use Wi-Fi when available. Software from GoSIP is an example of the type of software available. A super, but old, article is available here. This article explains the pros and cons of the technologies. Many of the cons have been addressed by the providers. |

Not all of our staff is pictured, since many were still on the phones assisting customers.
